A space sim worth checking out.

Sadly the game doesn't quite deliver on the promise of non-linear play. Rather it gives you the impression that you're in total control of your own destiny while still maintaining a pretty linear mission path. There are some choices to be made in the game , choices that will have a significant impact on your future , but overall I still felt like the missions were all lined up and coming at me one at a time.I found the whole economic side of the game to be a little underdeveloped.
The story's a little ponderous and the control system is evil to configure.
It's a big game alright but I'm not sold on the replayability of the single player campaign. Multiplayer is fun.

Graphics
The game looks brilliant. The effects, models and textures are first rate and will definitely show off your system.

Sound
Great effects and ambient music. The voice acting is pretty lame.

Gameplay
The non-linear premise falls a little short. The physics model is enjoyable and unique but there's too much downtime.
