Simple to play, and a great variety! 8/10

Fun, great fun but i played all the missions under 3 or 4 hours because they are very short.

I like the multiplayer, i got tones of computers and when i link them up its fun to play with friends! The formation thing works well and gets you around the universe fast!

What kind of a name is Edison Trent?

Apart from the main character's slightly lame name its a good game and the graphics are good too

Gameplay: 6/10 (gets stuck from time to time) Graphics: 9/10 (Good, very impressive when put on high settings) Sound: 8/10 (Nice sound) Ease of control: 10/10 (you can control your man and ship well)
