Summary: Good Game
Review: I got Independence War only a few weeks after it was released in the States, and I still stuck up another thirty bucks to get the Deluxe addition; even though it only has 18 new missions. I think that says a bit about this game.But, the best part about I-War is not its single player campaign (as much as I enjoyed it), but the thriving online community that has sprung up around it and the amazing customization ability of the game. The developer of I-War, Particle Systems, has a Mission Development Kit you can download off their site. You can make, or download, Lightwave models of your favorite ships and fly them. You can even make entirely new star systems for goodness sakes! If you were disappointed by Sierra canceling its Babylon 5 game, buy I-War. The Buda5 conversion is nearing completion. Just the other day I flew a Starfury against two Minbari cruisers with two Hyperions backing me up. Now what other game lets you do that?

Summary: Independence War = REALISTIC space action
Review: I had heard many things about this game and found it at a store near me. So I bought it. The game captivated me from the first moment. The opening movie is action packed and of TV episode quality. The game play itself is incredible. The physics and controls of the ship are very easy to use and yet have such complex results. For example, "strafing" around your opponent is possible. What really makes me happy with this game, however, is the realism of the missions. Not one mission is a simple shoot-emup. Every mission involves strategy, puzzle solving, and realistic goals. In one mission you have to destroy asteroids headed for your base. In another you have to find a ship to fly. In yet another you have to go do some extra weapons training, when suddenly things go awry. Excellent excellt excellent. The only problem I have with this game is the difficulty level. These levels are no cinch. The difficulty level ramps up pretty fast.

Summary: This IS one of the best and cheapest Sci-Fi Sims anywhere
Review: When I first bought this game I didn't know what to expect for the 20$ dollars I paid at best buy. But as soon as it was installed on my computer it was obvious that this was a good game.From the 14 minute opening video to the last action intense missions this game is great. Even after beating the original 40 mission game you get the new 18 mission Indie campaign which features a cool customized ship with a new paint job and several new features, including a handy zoom mode that allows for long range sniping of those commonwealth bastards. In the Indie campaign also allows you to configure your ship to your individual weapons preference. That means double front PBC's all the time. This game is one that does not end after you beat it once. You can go back and add you own ship models to the game (yes I have destroyed the the UNO in a TIE fighter and the Starship Enterprise) You can build your own ship models and add them to the game. You can also download pre-built ships and missions from numerous web pages. BUY THIS GAME ! IT IS DEFINITELY A GOOD DEAL AT 25$$
