Baddd Single Player [Posted on 2007-04-23]
This game looked promising for a RTS, strategy but it is not, save your money especially if you want to play this as a single player. For us single player's, there is only the campaign, no skirmishes. I was getting killed repeatedly after the third mission in the campaign. There was little strategy, mostly luck. The semi-3D concept didn't work, especially when you finished a mission and the game started the story line and repositioned your view. The game has a 3D look but is really 2D in concept where all ships and such on the same plane even though it is in space and you can rotate the camera in any direction. This game didn't work with the auto repositioning and the actual 2D plane. I wish someone had reviewed this before me so I wouldn't have wasted $40.00. The game concept was OK and the tutorial was satisfactory, but it was hard to overcome the environment.

Simple review [Posted on 2007-05-07]
After playing the demo version I have decided to buy it. The game has very good graphics in my opinion and, the playability is simple to grasp. Anyone who has ever played EVEonline and Starcraft will understand the basics of this game in short order. I found the tutorials and the missions within the Demo version very easy after playing the before mentioned games. The game itself is fun and entertaining, but for single players, it will get old quickly.

Did they even try? [Posted on 2007-11-14]
This is serously the worst game I've ever played, slow, boring, and overall not much to do. I swear these guys must have slapped this game together using morse code or something. You'd be better of feeding your money to your dog.
