Artificial Intelligence Posted February 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Graphic is great, so is the gameplay. The idea of buying ships or/and upgrading weapons/engines/special weapons is good in an arcade game, it gives the genre a some new perspective. Also that you need to buy ammo and repair is nice. Each episode is a following story of the previous you completed so you actually get a feeling of a storyline. It's almost like Starfighter (if you tried that), but much better in every aspect. Also it's easy to make your own episodes I read somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkFoss Posted February 24, 2007 Report Share Posted February 24, 2007 Ty for the heads-up :) The game is really very good..alas my skills are not :P I'm getting a pretty steady 160 fps at the default settings. I didn't have to do any configuring either , I just extracted it to my home/games folder then clicked on the game script. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
