    "Truly Enjoyable"

    May 30, 2010  |   By Syncytium

    Version: Escape Velocity Nova installer 1.0

    Pros

    Storylines are extremely well written, graphics are beautiful, many secrets and easter eggs exist without unlock codes, the setting and lore is more creative and entrancing than most science fiction novels or other video games.

    Cons

    Makes you want to buy the full game which is enormously overpriced, some of the storylines are difficult to "stumble upon" (walk-through required to experience the full game), requires quicktime.

    Summary

    For a top-down arcade style game, EV Nova manages to surprisingly combine the intriguing ambiance of Firefly/Serenity with the moderately addictive, open-ended playstyle of MMORPGs. There are at least 2 different, easy to find hacks to extend the trial period indefinitely although, if you find yourself really enjoying the game, it is at least only a one time payment to receive the full version...and you will be able to capture other ships.

    "Does not work on Windows 7"

    November 16, 2009  |   By rausch713

    Version: Escape Velocity Nova installer 1.0

    Pros

    It has an awesome plot. It is fun and addictive. I love this game.

    Cons

    It does not work on Windows 7 - well the game works, but you can't register the game if you have Windows and thus can only play for so long before the awesome plot comes to an end when the trial version expires.

    "Although EV Nova is large, it's well worth the hard drive space."

    July 17, 2005  |   By Dragon_Shojo

    Version: Escape Velocity Nova installer 1.0

    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.

    "mmmmmm so good!"

    March 17, 2005  |   By sidboy666

    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)

    "Amazing game"

    March 8, 2005  |   By raculot

    Version: Escape Velocity Nova installer 1.0

    Pros

    Fun, and worth playing. One of the best space simulators out there. On the level of or surpassing the greats such as Privateer.

    Also available on the website after you've registered the windows version are downloadable plugins for the first and second games, previously Mac Only!
