| Review : |
Bought for 7 bucks. Love it but I could never give it a good rating. The storyline is ok-ish... and the graphics decent if you're tv is big enough (mine is). The real low kick here is in the controls. Now don't get me wrong. I love the playstation controller but the way they implemented "Steer the ship one way with one stick but fire phasers in the direction the other stick is pointing" controls made me want to bite the controller. The shooting... ok I can live with it... if the directional control was as simple as left went left and right went right but nope it's "point in the direction and the ship will turn that way." you could suddenly be making a 180 in a slow bulkarific cruiser when you intended only to turn 10 degrees in the opposite direction. Just majorly counter-intuitive. Other than that it was actually enjoyable if frustrating in moments where you need detailed maneuvers. It's a shame they never ported this to the Wii like Conquest. I bought Conquest for Wii and found that the Wiimote-nunchuk combo does a MUCH better job. Oh well. It's on the shelf and when I feel like an excersize in patience and anger control I'll take it down. |
