being able to play the coop missions in multi-player mode defines this game. get some friends together, set up a LAN, and you'll all be team mates fighting for the same cause. it is a great, refreshing multi-player experience that separates it from other first action shooters such as Unreal, Counter Strike and Quake.

Fairly decent game

Overall, the game is good but it does lack in many ways due to it's script. Much of the storyline is scripted so during a combat dogfight, an enemy charcter cannot, repeat, cannot be killed. This is espically noticable with nikolai petrov. I had tailed him and got into the kill slot and pounded him with the main guns and screamer missiles. His shields were gone, but the armor plating would not go down below three units. Later in the game he dies just as easy as any othrer enemy.
The plot variations are kind of nice. Failing to accomplish a certain objective will lead to more difficulity later in the game. Not destroying the warp gate will allow for sudden cap ship appearances later on. Fun to play, but overall it's o.k.

Very nice piece

Predecesor to freelancer which is better than this game. This game is very challenging. Lots of in game cinema which gives you some time to catch your breath. Well worth buying. I advise investing in a flight stick controler. Overall enjoyable game

This game really wasn't all that bad. From the last it seems easy and short but as you get into it you find out that beating the game is a lot more difficult than you tought at first.

I don't know while I liked the game the inability to customize your ships and the frequent crashes sort of ruined it for me. I mean I only paid [money] for it so overall i'm not to disappointed by I do wish Wing Commander.

This Game Kicks Some Serious ... !

I can't really describe this game, but oh it's good, it's really good so here i go... It has the same interface as the old Wing Commander games...but siginficantly improved though..and this game is from "THE" Chris Roberts, as you know (if you are a space combat lover) Chris Roberts is the best in the business.....i did like Wing Commander.....and Tachyon was Cool (though not especially fun) but this tops it all the graphics are the best in every game i've seen and actually I didn't know it was possible to make this kind of graphics. the sound is extremely great and man it's million times faster than Wing Commander/Tachyon.....or just any other Space Combat game....it's of course harder (because it's faster) but not that much plus you can choose the difficulty levels...and i DO really recommend this to ALL people that like Cool GRAPHICS, Like to HAVE FUN....and those who like GREAT GAMES....cause this one is IT even the Lucas Arts masters could never make this kind of a game unless they'd EMPLOY CHRIS ROBERTS...oh sorry but i can't stop .....this IS THE ULTIMATE SPACE COMBAT SIMULATOR THE INTERFACE IS SUPER THE SOUND IS SUPER......IT'S REALLY FUN IT'S NOT TO HARD...but it still gives you a little resistance...this is THE BEST GAME EVER even better than: Tachyon (though i didn't like it), Wing Commander IV, Monkey Island, Imperium Galactica, Quake 3, Unreal Tournament or any other good game AVALIBLE....i just hope their will be StarLancer 2,3,4,5.....and i would hope i could make one or be a part of the developement team.

THANKS FOR READING......please vote weather this review helped you.

More alive than FS2

FS2 seems to be the one to compare it against. The graphics are better than FS2, the system requirements are less demanding than FS2. I played FS2, but never feeled part of the story. In Starlancer you feel more part of it. The ships are nice, dogfighting is cool. I am amazed at how good the graphics is, I only have a 333 with 64megs of ram, and I get no jumpiness (word?) like I got with FS2. It is also difficult on hard level. In summary, if you enjoyed Wingcommander and played FS1/FS2 and do not demand the right to modify the interface then GO FOR IT. The plot: Well, it may be Cold War, but it is cool. Time to fight that Cold War.

Fun missions, but not very compelling...

I recently finished this game and I have to say that the single-player hasn't left me with a great aftertaste. Unlike the Wing Commander series, there isn't any plot in-between missions, hence no character development. We're limited to getting to know our so-called wingmen through in-game dialogue. Despite the lack of a compelling story, the gameplay is still pretty challenging for the seasoned gamer and the missions offer a good variety of objectives.
