If you want to play a good space sim game then this is the one and only one to get. The graphics are great especially for something made back in 1998. The gameplay is fairly difficult and really challenges you to play better. The story behind the game is good and well told. The cinematics are decent, but still great for something made in 1998. If you are going to play this game then you are going to need to buy a joystick if you already don't have one. This game is just great. I highly recommend buying this game if you are into space combat or if you just like flight simulators.
