“See that trailer? I have no idea what that game that trailer was made for, because it represents exactly 0% of what this game is actually like. This is as one diminsional as it gets, folks. There is no action, there is no 3D anything. That…”
“My opinion of this game can be summed up in one word : BORING! Space travel is point,click,wait,repeat. Combat is point,click,wait (and possibly retreat). This is one of the worst games I've ever played.”
