STEVE-O A truly amazing feet, even from the very start of the series. It gives amazingly addictive gameplay, unlinear and compelling story lines (of which there are many), easy to manipulate controls, and custumization that blows away the best of mech games. Another cool feature is the whole plugin bit, were for free you can change the entire universe of the game...endlessly (as long as there are people to make them). Replay factor? Infinite. How many things can you do in this game? You can do simple missions, like delivering things here and that. You can attack disable and board other vessels (stealing everything they have and maybe even capturing their ship if you're lucky). you can join one of the many goverments either being a hero or a villain, or if you wanted you could be a cargo shipper, raking in huge amounts of money.
The music could do a little work, maybe some epic peices in the backround durring some of the missions? But who would notice it anyways when you are warring with a screen full of ships. Graphically this game is great for what it is. The polygon ships do wonders for the atmosphere, and all the weaponry effects are very cool. The frame rate bearly ever drops below 30, leaving for a very smooth gaming experience. For a mere 30$, how could you not get this game, even if just to support the crew that took 75000 man hours to create you this masterpiece.
