Interest waned at first, but ends well.
GAMEPLAY - Works the way you'd expect from a first person shooter. Gotta admit though, as soon as I felt I was getting the hang of piloting that damn asteroid miner buggy thing, I'd run into a damn wall. For as much as you use the thing, I think they could've made the controls a bit more fluid. Tractor beam was fairly pointless and when you DID use it, it seemed odd that you'd HAVE to use it. GRAPHICS - I'm running the game on a fairly nice rig, so not many complaints here. It was nice to see that huge open areas didn't slow the game down. SOUND - I really like what they did w/ the music. I found myself getting into the later half mostly due to the energetic and dramatic score. Okay, perhaps the story helped a tad, but the music really stands out in the final moments of the game. Sounds FX seemed fairly standard. Do I even need to mention the lame voice-acting for the 'aliens' ? I did appreciate the fact that the aliens go from calling you "Human" in the beginning of the game to calling you "Warrior" in the later parts.
VALUE - Well, when the game is done, it's done. I guess there's a hard difficulty that unlocks after you beat it, but I'm not too interested in experiencing such. Gotta admit, I did go back and play the boss battle that involved a certain central character. I like screaming.
TILT - Not quite what I was expecting, but it did earn points in the end. I'm looking forward to a sequel.
