This game is a gem. A well polished one as well. As other reviews have stated though, it's a little short on content. Don't worry to much however, they are well laid out and will give you at very least, 3 hours to play through. It took me about 4 though. Just slicing and dicing almost everything you see is just remarkably entertaining! 18 great indie tracks to collect and so called 'boring stones'. There are also bonus levels which you can find hidden within levels. The game starts off with an excellent tutorial in a so called reality boy. With nothing more to say I speak highly of this game and have an idea which I hope the devs hear... PLEASE MAKE A LEVEL EDITOR! I think that in itself would generate an awesome community user made content and would give the game ever-lasting appeal. I could go through user levels all day. So Black Pants studio, I'll give you guys that 5 star rating your game deserves if you listen to what I have typed. Thank you
I purchased this when it was free... at first I didn't know what I thought. I was hating it at first but I disiplined myself to keep playing. After a little bit I got frustrated and quit (being so used to modern day games). But I hadn't given up on this game yet. So I tried it again a little while later and learnt the basics... now I'm hooked! I am angry I didn't buy Fallout 2 during the Interplay sale now. Oh well, I'm sure it will be worth the $5.99 anyway. Buy this game and give it time. I'm sure it'll grow on you like it grew on me. The graphics won't pull you in but the amazing story line will keep you entertained hours on end. The story is where the magic happens (and the combat gets fun as well later on).
I am a complete newbie to the Wing Commander universe. I purchased this game due to that fact that I thought 6GB sounded like a good amount of game for $5.99. Not knowing exactly what to expect at the time, I will now tell you this is one of the best games I have purchased from GOG.com! It stood the test of time and has a ton of replayability. But this is more than just a "game". Wing Commander IV borderlines between a "Video Game" and an "Interactive Movie". With compelling story telling and fun gameplay, WCIV is hard to overlook. The gameplay is not revolutionary by any means but you wouldn't find anything like it in the modern market. Made me feel like a real Wing Commander! I had good ol' fun flying around my own ship and blowing up enemy space crafts. All your choices have consequences in this game and... Mark Hamill. Nuff said!
I once thought that the Elder Scrolls was an RPG... now I am embarressed that I once thought so! That game truly lacks consequences like the Witcher does with every little thing tightly weaving together through out the game. Characters have more depth and I actually cared about a few of them. Unlike many other people I had absolutely no probably with it. I thought it was something fresh and way better than any standard hack and slash system. And the best part is... 10 BUCKS!!! BARGAIN! If you haven't already bought this purchase it right now and immerse yourself in the wonderful world of Geralt of Rivia!!!
