Spaceforce: Rogue Universe (PC DVD)
Reviewsavoid!!!! Review date: 2008-02-28 Rating: 2 out of 10 Got this game today thinking it would b good, how wrong i was. Now on my way to take it back! lol What a let down looks good but fails to deliver Review date: 2008-02-26 Rating: 2 out of 10 As you have read earlier the game needs a joystick to have a chance of enjoying all its features, however with the majority of sticks the throttle sticks at max making it unplayable hence you resort to mouse and keyboard.There are a lot of features here but with no tutorial and a very steep learning curve the difficulty at the beginning is totally offputting.I love this type of game but even I uninstalled it from my harddrive within 48 hrs , so much promise totally ruined by poor implementation. Don't Bother Review date: 2007-09-23 Rating: 4 out of 10 I'm a big fan of this genre, but this game sucks. It's not a patch on either Freelancer or X3 Reunoin. The instructions that come with the game are non existant, the plot is poor, the breath of ships and missions is also poor, the graphics are average. Empty Promises Review date: 2007-09-07 Rating: 4 out of 10 When I first saw this game I was cautiously optimistic, as it was only 15 quid I didn't think I could go wrong. I should have downloaded the demo first. Austrian developers Provox (I've not heard of them either) seem to have taken the patching idea to the extreem, and have handed over what feels like half a game. I've not managed to play for more then 10 minutes without something going wrong and having to restart (which isnt that straightforward either). I wouldnt mind if they could fix these problems, but I'm yet to find a patch anywhere. Even if it was finished, the game has missed the mark. I feel like a backseat passenger dispite being at the helm; with weapons that lack any description, side quests that often don't make sense (accepting a mission for one race that seemingly askes you to destroy one of their own ships) and a lack of ships. 40 ships? Yes but not all playable, which is what we are interested in. Its 14 playable, spread amoung 9 races, and as with many games of this genre each species tends to mimic the other. One species interceptor is similar to anothers. Theres only really 3 ships: Light, medium and heavy fighters, so you'll just work up to heavy and find its very tough but not much different from the ship you started with. In summary: I wish developers would look at the products they are up against and then try to beat them. Very similar games include: Freelancer which is 20 times the game this is, darkstar one which is mediocre but still better and Independance war 2: Edge of Chaos - marginally better. Please download the demo and decide if this is what you want first.
