So I almost passed this game up because I thought it was another side scrolling space shooter. The first mission is exactly that and I was almost ready to turn it off because I have played so many of those "bullet-hell" games. I was glad that I stuck around. This is one of those gems that come around once every few years and it deserves to be seen and played by all. The story is fantastic (alot of reading, but that's a good thing). There is no voice acting, but I still felt something for the characters. It's also funny, it made me laugh a few times, granted that's not too hard to do. I can't speak for multiplayer because I have never seen a game up. The concepts are amazing and the combinations are near limitless... My only gripes about the game are the "cut-scenes" in the middle of combat. It will freeze the camera. I would rather there be a passive chat system that didn't freeze the intense action. I have died so many times to that. The UI needs some work, it is just too plain for this awesome of a game, or am I insane? I like rain. The reason that this might not make it is because people won't want to give it a chance. And it's a shame because they should. Also, it might be too complex for the average gamer. I am still a bit confused on the load out system for my ships. This has the makings of a great competitive game. Regardless, this is an awesome title. I would give it 4.5/5 but I round up because this deserves it.
