Thirty Nine Dollar Drink Coaster.
Hey hey, this game is pretty nifty. You go and buy it, drop thirty nine dollars and you have a 1/10 chance that you just bought a CD holder, drink coaster, and a colorful coloring booklet. Obviously, im a little more t... Read Full Review

A surprisingly solid presentation of a space sim despite the few bugs and technical problems.
For fans of space sims, DarkStar One provides a solid presentation. With a myriad of missions to take, several races to meet, and an arsenal of weapons and combinations to go with, DarkStar One provides approximately 10... Read Full Review

If your willing to look past some of the flaws, this is an excellent and addicting game in a genre that has run thin.
I have always been a fan of space simulators, which is probably why I gave this game the score I did. There were some flaws, the game does crash at times, and certainly it could have been a bit better. In the desert of... Read Full Review

a break from the usual 3rd or 1st person shooter. not too bad. badly needs to be patched
well its good if you are boared with oblivion and cs and such. its a bit one sided but i find it fun killing pirates and upgrading the ship. its pretty glitchy but not enough to make it un playable. has crashed a few ti... Read Full Review

Freelancer this ain't.
Err... Freelancer this ain't. The graphics are pretty, the combat well balanced, but there's so much that simply isn't what it should be. The space trade genre should be massive in scope, whereas this is shallow and ... Read Full Review

Hmmm is that all?
Hmmm. Not sure how to write this. Guess I am trying to look on the bright side of things (which implies I am not overly happy with the title). Ok lets start with the fact that the space flying blow-em-up titles have be... Read Full Review

An ideal game to introduce people to the space flight sim genre in general, but veterans may not find enough substance.
Dark Star One started out as a very promising game continuing in the same fine tradition as Elite, Wing Commander: Privateer 1 & 2, Independence War 1 & 2 and to a lesser extent Freelancer. I thoroughly enjoyed the first... Read Full Review

A great addition to the space simulation genre. Unfortunately it has a lacking trading system and repetitiv fighting.
Darkstar One promises a lot from the start. Fast paste action and role-playing system that lets you choose your own destiny, whether it be Bounty Hunter, Trader, Smugler or Mercenary. In some ways it does let you do this... Read Full Review

The best of its kind since Freelancer... a compliment, but a loaded one.
DarkStar one is definately the best space combat sim since Freelancer (exluding X2 and X3 which are less combat-specific oriented). It plays in a manner similar to Freelancer and the combat mechanics FEEL like Freelancer... Read Full Review

Great game - takes the headache away from spending all your time trading.
Now why couldn't Egosoft try something like this. The game is exactly how Brett Todd described it in the Gamespot review. Unfortunately Egosoft chose to make a repetition of X2 just tweaked a bit for graphics. And of cou... Read Full Review
