Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Hope you have piloting experience
Review: The controls take forever to learn there are like 100 of them, basically every key on your keyboard, and then they treat it like WW2 dogfighting but with spaceships and the voice overs are really ...

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Echelon, could be better.
Review: This game could be great if they had spent as much time on the gameplay graphics as the cut scene graphics.

Controls were mushy in all settings, graphics were choppy with a 64mb video card and a 1ghz pentium 4.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Beautiful game
Review: This game is really hard to learn to control, and you need a joystick. It is so easy to get shot down or to collide with the ground, but the graphics are AMAZING!! This game is so worth getting just to show off the capabilities of the PC. Whenever there is a break in fighting I switch to one of the external cameras, sit back and take in the scenery (and I only have a Pentium II 400 MHz). The explosions are great with burning debris from destroyed craft falling to the ground. Water effects are amazing, and so are the dust, clouds, and fog. As your craft flys low it leves a trail of dust on the ground, and similar with water. Sound effects are quite good, except for the communications between craft -- too much static and too hard to understand what is being said -- so you have to keep reading the log all the time. There is a variety of 14 craft you can fly, with each feeling quite different, plus over 30 missions -- though all quite similar. The options menu is quite good and you can customize the game and eye candy quite well, even incuding unlimited ammo and invincibility -- so no need to "cheat".
