Great Game, So Much Fun [Posted on 2002-09-08]
I have to disagree with the other reviewer. Yes, some of the situations are difficult, but his criticism of the camera angles was unfounded because the game player controls the camera angels. I made it all the way through all the levels and had a blast, but it took me over a week to do it. I enjoyed the setup of the game, the characters' voices and one has to be knowledgeable about the strengths and weaknesses of the characters in order to make them work for you. The most fun I had was going to the town and buying the weapons and ammo. The first time through the game is mostly trial and error. I can't wait to do it again with some knowledge and the ability to make different decisions that will make the characters even more powerful. Sometimes I had to get away from it for awhile and think about my strategy. Then when I got back to it I could go on to the next level. Hours and hours of pure frustrating fun.

I love it!

Farscape: The Game [Posted on 2002-09-12]
Farscape: The Game has to be one of the best looking games of this genre since Diablo. I really enjoyed playing this game and the character's are exactly like the show.

Farscape will enjoy this game [Posted on 2003-01-15]
I am a fan of the T.V. show and I have to admit that someone who is unfamiliar with Farscape will likely find themselves wondering what the allure of this game is. This game has really been geared towards fans of the show and seems to cater specifically to them.

Game play is good. The AI's for your team mates was a lot better than I expected. If you keep track of their behavioral settings, (run, fight, stay, follow, etc.) then they really serve to assist in fulfilling mission objectives. I have yet to have a computer-controlled teammate die on me. The missions are pretty linear since you're basically playing an [unmade] episode. A few players wrote about having trouble with the camera angles, but if you actually take the time to read the instructions, they are really very simple to use and are actually useful to the game play.

The use of the original actor's voices really makes this game stand out. It really makes the game feel like an interactive Farscape episode. It's a lot of fun to hear the way the characters interact and react to events in the game. (There's an Easter Egg I found in the first level involving Crichton finding "Winona" for the first time.)

If you're not a Farscape fan you probably won't find this game as enjoyable as someone who is a fan. However, if you are a fan of the show and also enjoy video games then you MUST buy this game.

worst game ever played [Posted on 2003-12-01]
i bought this game thinking that as it is based on space and aliens, it must be a great entertainment. i was shocked to find that it was so under the grade and i think if there had been stars for negative marking then i would have given it 5 stars for the worst game. don't buy this game, it is so boring and so bad, u will be very upset that you have spent money on such a bad game like me.

Worst Game Ever [Posted on 2004-07-27]
I was really looking foward to playing this game. I rushed out and bought it. At first I thought it would be ok but there are several levels that are almost impossible to get through. Not because the enemies are hard but because you couldn't find the way out. You don't get to battle peacekeepers-you even have to help them! Most enemies take 2 shots to kill. The radar system was ok but the color sucked. I had to turn the colors on the game all the way up and it was still dark. I thought this game would take me a week to finish...it took me one day. It ended way to soon...You never even know if the Prowler gets fixed. I thought you would do what the town needed to do and then go to another world or help Moya. You only get to play with three characters at one time. You play with D'hargo once, Zhaan never really has a story line. Rygel is almost useless...he does more damage than good. Aeryn doesn't come in until the end. You mainly play with John and Chianna. It ended way to soon. You don't even get to go back to the town and walk around and get your Prowler. I did all that work to get my Prowler fixed and I don't even get it back! I really didn't like it.
