The most satisfying bit is the game's core idea: the command system, which hooks into your ship's autopilot, and can automatically handle everything from dogfighting to navigation. Yes, technically, you're letting the computer do your dirty work, but the feeling of control can still be very enjoyable. If you're a hardcore BC3000 fan – and is there any other kind? – wipe the foam off your chin.
You'll likely love this stripped-down, more focused tour of duty. Everyone else: Freespace 2. eBay. Now. It's the game Echo Squad so badly needed to emulate, and even idiots like us could enjoy it. And there's still more of us out there than the grognards.
You'll love:
- Complex as hell
- Satisfying command system
- Goes where most games won't
You'll hate:
- Unbelievably unintuitive
- Often deathly boring
- Unfriendly difficulty
