DarkStar One

Fun, BUT EXTREMELY Easy

The storyline itself is average and common with some references to the Star Wars' Story. It has a decent size universe but its mainly copy and paste type of design where visuals and audio are just constantly reused. This being said the plot has little to no depth and is pretty dry.

The credits are extremely easy to get, where it is nearly pointless to do side jobs to make money because the quest and story gives more than enough. The concept of missiles are made useless. As an example missiles in this game is equivalent to throwing a rock at an enemy when your lasers are equivalent to a Gatling gun. If you need to kill a cruiser no matter how strong they are max your shield and fly to their blind spot and just fire your forward lasers.

Bottom line Freelancer alone can put this to shame and that was made and released in 2003 where this game is released in 2006.
