Interesting to say the least

I've seen alot of poor reviews for this game, and having a love for space shooters, I had to go and pick this one up. So, as others have made aware, this game is very painfully short. I think in fact, you can beat it in around 5 hours. The controls are rather odd, though I never had any problems. I'll start with the negative, then most to the positive. I've already said its short, so I'll report a few others things. Allies do kill things, but for some reason are slow when it comes to it. Some missions, well, most have you killing all the targets and after killing everything on my own, I view my map and still one target left. After flying over there, I see a dozen allies chasing...one enemy. I think they should go back to flight school or be fired. Something. Some other annoying things is when your flying at top speed, sometimes its hard to figure whats around you and then you fly smack into a ship and go boom...which sets you back ALL the way to the beginning. Unless your at a check point part of the missions, but having to start all over is frustrating. The good points. I found it fun buying some of the new weapons and firing them off...well, duh, thats what I'm supposed to do. But its thrilling to fire a missile pod and watching your screen fill up with missile trails. The graphics are great, and its very pretty to see the stars and planets and such. But now as I write this...I wonder...does the game have music? lol. I don't ever remember hearing it...hmmmmmm. Anyways, I did give the game a rather high score only cause I enjoy space games, but I only recommend it as such. If you like space shooters, rent it or buy a used copy. If not, stay away.
