Too similar to the original. A few new additions does not save this money-making franchise.
Again, a problem with the first game that continued with this one is that it doesn't feel like you are doing much damage to th enemy when you shoot them.
They should have started from scratch, but instead they just used the same graphics and gameplay engine. The space battles are uneventful. There is no excitement and feeling of speed.
The music is good, but that is all John Williams.
The game is just too similar to the original one. It would be a great expansion pack though.
