Gamespot's 7.5 score is too high for such a terrible game. Absolutely dissapointing. Frustrating. DO NOT BUY THIS GAME.
Looks nice. Takes advantage of NVIDIA cards. But graphics-wise it doesn't stand out that much.
Cons: Weak weapons (you can shoot an enemy for 10 minutes straight with your beginning blaster and not so much make a scratch).
Unintuitive controls (can't remap movement keys like turning controls to the keyboard).
When joystick/keyboard configuration is used, the ship is always stuck on full speed. Terrible voice acting, similar to how bad the voice acting of "House of the Dead 1" voice acting. But at least House of the Dead can get away with it because it has virtually no story, but Spaceforce has terrible voice acting and even more horrid scriptwriting, and it is trying to tell a story about an space saga. Not only are the story sequence voice acting terrible, but the h.u.d. remarks of the other pilots are absolutely asinine
When compared to Freespace I and II the controls for this game are absolutely laughable. Please bear in mind that Freespace was made in 1999, this game was made in 2007. The negligence of the developers spans all aspects of this game. Do not buy this game.
