• Very nice release

  GamehosterSeptember 7, 2009

  Pros

  This release was well designed. Have played earlier versions of the game and this is is by far the best. The zoom feature, graphics and additional add-ons to help newer players are great.

  Cons

  Very happy with this version.

• Can be Addictive to Competitive People

  bdbranchAugust 1, 2008

  Pros

  It's a simple game (that will work on old computers), but it's made well. Essentially, it's in the old 2d space shootem ups gene however Netrek has managed to bring this into the current age. It does this by drawing on the competitive nature of people by creating teams. Essentially you fly on a 2d plane, shootup your opponents and attempt to take over the opposing teams planets. And this is strangely addictive. Competitive people run the risk of addiction by playing this game. <p> 3.5 stars

  Cons

  Essentially, there's little actual depth to the game, but then again the game isn't designed for depth. The PlayNetrek game promo pretends depth that doesn't exist. The games strengths lie elsewhere.

  ThatgvyJuly 29, 2008

  Pros

  This release has some pretty cool features. One of the best releases yet.

  Cons

  No real cons in this version.

  Summary

  Have played for about 4 months on an earlier release. This one is more user friendly then the older version. I like the graphic updates and the network connection seems a lot more stable.

• Brings back old memory

  gko2kFebruary 19, 2008

  Pros

  I used to play this late night at ucb. Some were battling with students at ucla... It's a almost like 20yrs ago. Back then it ran on a sun workstation. lol. Ah how time flies! Anyway, game is dated. Fun is still there. I am not the new generation game will even have the patients to learn how to play it.

• It... kind sucked

  enderrisesJanuary 31, 2008

  Pros

  It was interesting for about 3 seconds.

  Cons

  Middle click to fire torpedos? And I can't change the controls? Awesome! That means that people who use laptops can't play this game! What foresight! Oh and the graphics were amazing...ly bad.

• Fun, but boring....FAST

  ballerjoe121November 12, 2007

  Pros

  Great graphics, free (can't beat that), has no spyware, adware or any other virus. It's a great game, best played in short bursts, because it gets repetitive fast. Also worth noting that the it's a small download so you won't have to wait long!!!

  Cons

  'Repetitive' is my main issue with this game, otherwise a great game to enjoy in short bursts.

• Game is a lot of fun

  timeswellSeptember 26, 2006

  Pros

  Game is a lot of fun. Kind of like a space age version of chess but with 8 people on each team. Can really become intense towards the end of a game. Very exciting to play.

• New version is incredible

  johnnyp1-1September 15, 2006

  Pros

  Been playing Netrek a long time and this latest update is incredible. Full color ships and planets, great 3d sound effects. The new tutorial is great for new players and even the not so new ones. Walked through it and found it helpful even though I have already played a while. Nice job on the latest version, highly recommend this game.

• Great new version Great graphics and Sound! Nice tutorial.

  AmericanGamerJuly 11, 2006

  Pros

  Already a great game, they did a nice job on this new version. New options, great graphic and sound improvements. I played the previous versions so did not need the tutorial but it is nice to have to help new players starting out. Worth upgrading if you had a previous version and definitely worth downloading of you have never played before.
