There has never been and never will be another game like Star Control. Star Control 1 was ground breaking when it came out, however Star Control 2 even bigger. The story in Star Control 2 stole many of my nights. It could be written as a graphic novel. But I think the 2 player combat mode is what stole my heart. So many unique ships and different combinations of weapons made this game a thrill to play over and over again. It even spawned an entire cult following which today still works on improving the game.
The ultimate in immersion gaming. The surround sound and story do an almost perfect job of making the hair on the back of your neck stand up. This is truly a classic master piece with many twists. If you are not into this type of game, you need to at least play through it for the story. You will not be disappointed.
