Description
Deep in space, somewhere in the Kessari Quadrant, you stumble across a catastrophic realization - the universe is on the brink of destruction. Now you must race to save thousands of worlds and billions of lives from total annihilation. An epic adventure of intergalactic strategy and diplomacy begins.

Star Control 3 is the last installment of the series. Taking a slightly different track that diverged from the Star Control 2 formula, it got excellent reviews though some of the hardcore Star Control fans weren't entirely thrilled by the innovations. Journalists, new fans of the series, and hardcore fans alike all agreed on one thing, though: this game's story is great.

So whether you're an old fan of the series, someone who was put off by a friend's dislike of the game, or someone who's never played the Star Control games at all, here's your chance: pick up the excellent final game in the Star Control series and make up your mind for yourself!
  • Fascinating story rich with unexpected plot twists, interesting characters, and memorable moments
  • Great diplomacy system that equips the player with many interesting options to solve problems
  • Each race has its own unique behavior, goals, and motives

Oh dear lord no...

If you're investigating this game, chances are it's because you played SC I or II (a couple of the best games ever made). RUN SCREAMING RIGHT NOW! This game is an abomination, absolutely one of the worst games ever made. Do NOT waste your time.

Hmmm...

6 of 5 must play. 5 of 5 great story great gameplay. 4 of 5 great story average gameplay. 3 of 5 average story average gameplay. 2 of 5 play only if it's your favorite genre. 1 of 5 play if you have nothing better to do. 0 of 5 play if you're a masochist. -1 of 5 avoid. Star Control 3 scores 2 of 5.
