I have to admit i was sad after discovering it was a arcade space-sim.
I mean i was hoping for a x-wing type of game, not like wing comander.It
just gets dull scroling around folowing the red cross and then trying to hit
the circle.
Altough they are the best gaphics I have ever seen, even better than the
recent wingcomander,.
Just so sad, all that potential and a mere arcade action game...I wish the
guys who programed it went on to make games like elite.
