Oui mais...

Joué une fois, terminé, pas retouché depuis. Pas mauvais en soi, mais rien d'original. Les fans de sim spatiale trouveront là un bon jeu, sans rien d'exceptionnel qui fasse oublier Freespace ou autres Wing Commander... Une histoire très linéaire dans un univers ouvert (idem à Freelancer) très répétitif (un système : une base où accoster, des astéroïde, un soleil, une planète, et souvent un repaire de pirates), un seul vaisseau à piloter (argh) mais à faire évoluer (choix définitifs, pour tester le cargo, le chasseuf furtif et la forteresse volante, il faudra recommencer le jeu à chaque fois), des graphismes réussis (mais vu la config c'est un minimum). Les missions secondaires sont très répétitives (nettoyer les bases pirates, faire du commerce en temps limité) façon X2 The Threat. Tant que le vaisseau n'est pas un peu amélioré, les combats sont galère, et après presque trop faciles. Quelques missions dans le scénario pour casser le rythme : tirer d'une tourelle ou piloter en intérieur (bases ou astéroïdes), souvent frustrantes et buggées.

Great old classic, runs perfect.

Like Freelancer, with newer PC hardware it is easy to run all settings to max. 20 year old game, still supports 2k resolution graphics! Get the game and set everything to max. only the cut scenes are a bit low resolution because of its age. I'm about 3 systems in now. Turrets are a huge help, dont overlook them.

An average game.

Not especially bad, but not especially good either. The dogfighting is really fun, much easier than in Freespace in my opinion. However it is extremely repetitive, so never play more than one hour per session if you don't want to get bored. The awful voice acting (except the main characters that are decent) and the very uninspired story don't help you to get in love with this game. Once again, the dogfighting is quite good though.

Shallow but enjoyable game

This is simply put an average space game, with sub par story writing (that's being nice) The art is ok, the character-animations are really bad.. but comparing with animations back then, it doesn't say much. The worse parts are the obvious engineering mistakes.. like assuming resolutions etc. (which makes art clip, and have repeat edge settings, rather than stretch etc..) Buggy AA shader code, so using it on said higher resolution makes the screen back. Simply turn the AA off, and it should work (and don't start the game thtough Gog galaxy either, you'll have fever problems if you launch the game directly) The ingame map will still be clipped, but you'll see all of it. In short, shitty story, ok game mechanics, unobvious ways to progress in the story (but that isn't necessarily bad... people should learn to stop being spoon fed) Make sure to follow the tutorials, you need to know where the keys are, and what they do. The game will be much more enjoyable when you learn how to control everything. It is not a difficult game to master. Just enjoy the ride instead, and try to ignore the story best you can.

Too avrage

If you hunger for good looking Space simulators, you might want to settle for Darkstar one. I have. But too be honest, it is one of these games that have little to offer beyond graphics. The gameplay is simple, perhaps a bit too simple. All the fights feel exactly the same and with the best weapon in the hands of specific enemies, you'll find that you have nothing you really need to buy beyond the bare basics. You can upgrade your ship in different ways but you end up building up a fighter or a trader. Since the only interesting thing you can do in the game is fight- there's little incentive to upgrade your ship into anything other then a fighter. And that's it. Bland characters and a bland story provide absolutely no interest when they are not annoying as hell. And you find your self just settling into the routine of entering a new area. Note the system plagued by pirates, defeat them at their base take new weapon, collect all upgrades and then watch a boring cutsene so you can unlock a new area and repeat the process. Your better off playing Freespace. At least it has mods. A-Ha.
