Publisher's description
From Ambrosia Software :This classic action/adventure game for the Mac is now available to Windows users. EV: Nova is the third game in the Escape Velocity series, and is by far the most ambitious installment to date. EV Nova thrusts you into a sprawling universe dominated by a myriad of warring factions, each sharing a common bond, but so philosophically different as to make conflict inevitable. With an open-ended plotline, you call the shots as to how your game will progress. You can beef up your ship and hire fighter escorts, or you can begin a career in trading with your fleet peacefully roaming the galaxy looking for great buys and running trade routes for credits. Several huge plotlines within the game take you to the edge of the universe or have you joining the Federation in its fight against the invading Aurorans.
CNET Editor's Note: To play EV Nova, you need Quicktime for Windows, and in some instances Windows XP requires the Internet Extras component. If you are experiencing trouble with EV Nova on Windows XP, installing this component may help you.

Version: Escape Velocity Nova installer 1.0
Pros: OK...pros: It has very nice graphics, sound, the gameplay is amazing...meaning you can do pretty much what your heart desires...the variety of ships and armaments, etc is diverse, all in all it is a great game although keep in mind you will be hooked...badly...cause its good...very good!
Cons: Now ... to be dead honest...I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY THESE GUYS DO NOT BURN SOME CD'S AND SELL IT ON THE GLOBAL MARKET!!!...you c i dont like buying stuff online...downloading them and giving away my credit card...so...what do I do...i stare in awe and realize I cannot actually buy this game...hmm...also i'm on the wrong continent so never mind visiting the folks that made it... well cons about the gameplay...umm i guess make a button where you can call apologize to someone if u shot them without intent :P...and a counter for how many ships you've destroyed when demanding tribute... and i guess that is it... :D

"Although EV Nova is large, it's well worth the hard drive space."
Pros: EV Nova is the best installment to Escape Velocity. Nova has exellent ships, weapons, missions and story lines. It's well worth $30.00.
Cons: This program has nothing wrong wth it in my opinon.

Version: Escape Velocity Nova installer 1.0
Pros: well i should start off by saying this:When i was 12 years old i bought a Mac from my friend cris. I was pissed when i learned Mac users couldnt run PC programs. The Mac came with EV:override installed and i didnt think it was going to be fun because i hate stupid si-fi games...this is not one of them. This is possibly one of the greatest game series ever made. EV:nova has more of a classic feel which i think was better then EV:override. I later bought a PC and was pissed that my Mac blew up. I now had a PC and no EV...i waited long for a PC version of these to come out. i have downloaded other games that claim to be like it...there not they are the crappy si-fi games with no real plot..this game has the greatest plot ever very open ended.
Cons: well no GAME cons but modem users like me will have to wait for the long download...but thats not so bad just download it when your sleeping and youll get though the night(if you can sleep)
