The best space-combat game for playstation

For while, it seemed like Psygnosis was unstoppable. Fresh off of the success of the awesome Wipeout games came this, one of the great console games of all time.

For starters, in the presentation and production values department this game is just plain awesome. Not ONLY does it feature some of the best graphics ever to be found on playstation, not ONLY does it feature a branching story and changes based on your successes or failures, and not ONLY does it feature some of the best menus, menu sounds, music, and in-game cinemas to be found in any game for any system ever... it also features a built-in encyclopedia of all the star systems, planets, and ships in the game complete with voice-narration!

This game offers great challenge, great gameplay, flawless presentation, tight controls, and a great storyline. The music is so good I wish there were a soundtrack.

This game is everything a great game shoud be, and fans of classic games owe it to themselves to buy this one A.S.A.P., especially if they like space-combat games.

WOW

There is one simple fact that will get many people's attention, this flight sim has six endings! Aside from the sequal (Colony Wars Vengence) I have not seen such an approach to a flight based combat game. The action is fast ane the story is an epic tale of rebellion and freedom. Graphics, sound, control, all are carefully crafted. NOTE For those of you who have them, this game is analog joystick ready!

STILL the best...

This game, after so many years, remains the finest space combat shooter on any console. It's depth and variety rival even the PC greats. The branching story and hours of background material provide more of an experience rather than a console game. The cutscenes and voice acting are excellent, and the pace is just right! For those who have never played this wonderful game, I highly recommend it!

Great game, greater plot

This game involves a lot of depth. The story is interwoven though mission briefings, in-game action and all sorts of background found on the games "database." The game tells the story of violent civil war between an evil Colonial Empire and the League of Free Worlds. The story is amazing with insight into what may very well happen if we continue to abuse our natural resources. The game itself is just as good as the plot if not better. On a closing note, remember that the story allows you to fail missions and even loose the war! There are SIX ENDINGS!

Great

This game is great! The graphics, sound, and plot are amazing. The complaints are completely unfounded, because anyone who can learn to play any game can learn to play this one. The game is even presented in Dolby Pro Logic surround! This game is well worth the price, and so are the other two.

Part one of the Trilogy

This game has it ALL!! Great Control,Graphics,and Good Storyline, this game is Truly Breathtaking!!! the explosions are Awesome!, its fun,chanllenging at times,and just Gorgeous to look at! sometimes you just sacrifce yourself by getting caught up in the Gorgeous graphics!!!! and the weapons are great! the only con is that its not a co-op game, two players would make this the Greatest game Ever!and there are enough levels to make your thumbs sore,and eyes blurry!....and the multiple endings is a nice touch also!!!

Fantastic

This may just be the most impressive PSX game ever. When I first saw the game, the graphics blew me away. I never thought a Playstation could handle graphics that impressive. If you do buy Colony Wars, I suggest you also buy the sequel, Colony Wars: Vengence. If you buy them both, you'll have a better understanding of the entire story.

No One Reviewed This Game!

If you're into realistic space flight sims,then this is the game for you.Smooth ship control,a fantastic choice of weapons and an intriguing plot that might actually give you something to think about make for a fantastic game.The ships are kinda slow,but the gameplay is so fantastic and so realistic, you dont't notice it.If that's not enough to convince you keep in mind that they don't go into production on a movie based on a video game if it's a crappy game to begin with.

A must have for any PSX sim fan!

This game is wonderful. The graphics, sound and overall presentation make it seem like you're in the thick of a galactic war. The ships fly very fluidly and the action is fast and furious. Oh yeah, in regard to the complaint another reviewer about your first ship being too slow, it's war live with it! The inferiority of your side's spacecraft is made even more obvious when you get in to battles with ships hundreds of times larger than you. You are freedom fighters after all.

Wicked awesome!

I'm a 12 year old gamer from Ashland, Ky, and I liked playing this game. I never really got into any other flight - sims but I LOVE reading (and writing) Scifi. I totally recommend this to anyone who likes star wars or star trek. I'm a slow gamer, and I am going to buy the game sometime, but I've rented it. From what I've seen, It's wicked awesome!
