  "This is the easiest and funest spaceship game to play."

  by blakejunior on October 17, 2008

  Pros: I really liked how the menu is easy to navigate and how the campaign teaches you to fly the ship as you go instead of making you take a fight trainging course so you get right in the action and start building a reputation.

  Cons: I don't like that there is no expansion or sequel to further game play and it is also annoying when you reach the best ship you can buy the game ceases to be a challenge unless you play against other players who have the same as what you have.

  Summary: I have tried a lot of space fighter games and most games will require a joystick and have like no training campaign just some training tutorial which doesn't help you develop profficiency it just tells you the basic controls. Also navigating in space is exceptionally difficult without some kind of ability to set nav points so you can fly toward them. This game doesn't require a joystick, it has a great campaign that allows you to become profficient before you jump into a multiplayer game and there are a lot of things that you can discover on your own or by asking google. I just wish microsoft decided to expand this game universe and make it better by creating more of a first person view with campaigns when you're not flying in outer space. This is the best experience I've had piloting in outer space in all my gaming experience.
