Not bad,but not great.
The on foot RPG part of the game is uninspired. Consisting of running and ingageing simple enemies. All action on foot gives the player no EXP points to build up his or her stats but can yeild new "gun data" wich changes the type of wepons the ship the main charicter controls during the shooter parts of the game.
The shooter part of the game borrows heavey from games like R-type ect but fall's flat on its face IMHO. also the shooter segmints act as the games random encounters and the way you gain exp. The random encounter missions are beyond simple and if you'v keep up with finding "gun data" not very challenging. the "boss" levels can be a bit tough at times but also suffer from uninspired level disign. the actual boss fightes are fun how ever.
The charicter and art style are pretty origanal and always look clean and well thought out. The story is a bit of been there done that but with enough twist to keep most players from getting bord. the paceing can be a little slow.
All in all not a must have game. I would recommend it for people who love rpg's, are very bord and must have something new to play, or for a parent looking for a game for there child to play during long trips.
