Brilliant game with engaging gameplay

I stumbled across Space Station Sim a few weeks ago and I'm glad I did.

The objective is to build a space station and equip it with components to win the support of the international community by earning flags, however, there is no set goal of how you should achieve this aim. In fact, you don't have to meet the aim, you can make any station you want - for instance Mir2. For those who think this is just another Sim style game, being set in space gives it a different tilt and I'm not normally a fan of Sim games. It is also more difficult than Sim games as you have to plan out your station in your mind before hand otherwise you may find that you can't place a module where you'd wanted it or it takes so long for an astronaut to do anything, they bail out and force you to lose the game.

The graphics for Space Station Sim are more than adequate and they help add to the realism while the different sounds for each module and for events help to immerse you in the game.

What's more, I feel that the $37.99 (~£22) that the game cost with international shipping is great value and because Vision Video Games spends the time to comunicate with its fans and release patches to help improve the game for its fans - the value for money is improved further.

Overall, this is a great game and I would recommend it to anyone with an interest in space, sim games or even anyone looking for a game to challenge their mind while still letting them have fun.
