Unfortunately you all didn't fix the joystick calibration problem.  I couldn't
play either of the betas because of it and now I can't play the demo.
Graphics are mediocre at best.  Sound effects totally suck.  Can't comment on
the gameplay, because I CAN"T PLAY IT.  The game may have been something if it
had come out two years ago but at this point it's not in the same league with
other current space combat sims.    My advice to anyone thinking about Ares
Rising is to save your time and download the Descent Freespace demo instead.
