Here my comments to the test (the guy played it for 5h 37m 22s, what more to say...):

German Gamestar gave the game a (bad) 67... Users give it at least 80. By my knowledge all below 82-83 in German Gamestar is like bad...

They gave it some trainee, or new Reviewer to test. Didn't see his name before.

The Final Verdict is like: "I had a lot of fun playing the game, sticking to walls, walking on them, hiding behind Asteroids, defending a base and so on. However I feel like there is no long-term motivation, and that the game is just a stylistic try of a game by FutureMark..."

Some Pro's and Con's (they usually tweak that to represent the final note):

* 7/10, Graphics: nice light's/shadows, sharp textures; low polygon count, very low character details
* 6/10, Sound: nice background music, nice shooting sound; bad explosion
sounds
* 10/10, Balance: all good here in terms of maps and weapons
* 9/10, Atmosphere: feeling like real space, very nice light and shadow effects
* 8/10, Controls: standard FPS controls, easy to learn; hard aim and shooting ???
* 3/10, Game Amount: just 4 maps, one weapon, so far no replay value, no bots for training
* 7/10, Level design: different levels/maps, nice and atmospheric, allow for different tactical approach
* 5/10, Teamwork: more chances to win through teamwork, Teamchat; still you can win without Teamwork, no command possibilities
* 5/10, Weapons/Extras: usable features like artificial gravity and boost, low amount but usable grenades, nice weapon design; just one weapon
* 7/10, Multiplayer Modes: classic Team Deathmatch, funny modes; Assault and Battle modes don't differ on the first look...


Final verdict: Entertaining, very tactic Spaceshooter.

And, the guy played for 5 and half hours... Not fair towards the game methinks:

According to the score I would say it was like up to 3 hours playing the rest for screenshots.
