Horrible by todays standards
User Rating: 1.5 | Battlestar Galactica PC
As a Battlestar Galactica fan, both new and origional series, I was looking forward to this release. The graphics and story are both very good, unfortunantly this is were it ends. The game is a direct takeoff from an old style arcade game from the era of Zaxon. I am astonished that Sierra would put out a game like this for anything more powerful than a PSP. Gameplay is tapping keys, limited by the energy your ship has that is spend for each change in left-right and flip direction movement and slowly rebuilds in time, using the faster/slower keys, and pressing one of the fire keys (guns or missles) when the icon shows up over an enemy ship. The game screen is your ship moving over a static field while enemys move around in and out of your field of fire and shoot at you. When you do die the result is a count down and respawn. Bonuses are via running your ship into floating powerups. If this was released as a free download it might be worth the price, barely. But as it is don't waste your money. The beta / demo release of a freeware game is actually of far higher quality and design effort than this is.
