I bought Star Wolves and then I thought clearly the universe is so expansive, so let me keep playing. After seeing the reviews for Star Wolves 2, I decided to jump directly to Star Wolves 3 because it supposedly continues where original Star Wolves left off. This game really adds to the RPG element of wandering around and choosing to engage missions whenever you please. However, a good RPG really needs a solid story behind it. Although I can clearly see the makers of this game has a grand vision of the Star Wolves universe, but there's nothing that pushes the story forward. The attempt to give character background might as well be none. There's no character development to build them up. Without a story, you're just moving from point A to point B, occasionally point C to grind. Having multiple paths really increases the replayability of the game. But the same lack of story and background really takes it away. Overall, I would still recommend it to people, but for me, I kind of lost interest in the game mid way through.
This is a pretty awesome game. It has multiple elements to it that makes it unique among all these space themed games. I don't want to list the pros because it is an awesome game. Just a couple things that you may need to mentally prepare yourself for so you won't get let down. Eh: Interface needs a little bit getting used to, but once you're used to the axis, it's pretty easy to navigate. Also, the voice acting is not that bad, but you can't really expect too much voice acting from a game made back in 2005. Cons: Lacks character development. There's no interaction with the crew, so you don't really know what's going on. Whenever a character leaves, it really doesn't matter because they are just another character I can use to pilot a fighter. Goes hand in hand with character development is story. It's too bland and it kind of jumps forward. There's no segue. Overall: One of the many games everyone should play because it is a wonderfully blended game.
