Summary: Wonderful Game
Review: While there arn't all that many space sim games worth playing anymore, or any new ones being made(that I know of), This is the best one that exists, period. Although I've played almost all the others worth playing (except freelancer) this one remains the best. Although now that its garphics are dated and it doesn't really offer anything new to to the genre, it more importantly doesn't add anything bad either.
The missions are well thought out and more diverse than other games. The ship selection is awesome, more than 20 ships, about 40 distictly different weapons, and great weapon effects. The ships are modeled very nicely, even by todays standards. The story is fast paced and by itself gives you reason to want to keep playing clear through the night (no joke). The capital ships are HUGE, the largest one being about 15,000 times the size of your fighter! The action is intense and NEVER gets boring or repeditive, the voice acting is great, the mission designer is relatively simple, the cutscenes are beautiful, and the only problem with this game is that there's no expansion pack for it with more missions to play (the campaing gets boring after the 3rd or 4th tome through). In my opinion the game's worth whaterver you have to pay for it, ... for a 3 year old game would be worth it, don't hessitate to get it.
