What players say
atrocious level design and mind numbing "story" .. don't let the french design your space stations people!
Atmosphere is fun... The combat, map layouts, and enemy variety are just not nearly good enough. There is very little of substance to dig into after you get used to the main game systems.
I admit I've slept on this game for too long, I actually got bored at first when I try to play it. Then after a few months I forced myself then got to play it again and now I'm really hooked. It's a small game in terms of storage but don't let that fool you, this is a big game with lotd of content. Haven't finish it yet but I'm already looking forward to play the expansion, Blue sun.
