    Playing this game is like eating a very stale bread!!! There is ZERO pull or urge to paly this game from the moment u start dabbling away at the controls. The horrendous english language translation gums up the work... Read Full Review

    Worth what I paid...$1.50 @ Gamersgate!

    By sam7919 | Review Date: Apr 06, 2009 | PC

    This is a decent space sim. Nothing more nothing less. It has some rough spots, most notably the voice acting and the English translations. In addition the learning curve is rather steep as well. You will likely be d... Read Full Review

    Don't buy this game

    By diioz | Review Date: Nov 21, 2008 | PC

    I am not a fan of that type of game. I remember good flight-action game like those star wars . I gave a try to that one because the graphics looked nice. But that's it. First as the other reviews said, there's no sound, ... Read Full Review

    I thought I was at deep sea with a submarine.

    By tailou | Review Date: Nov 16, 2008 | PC

    Slow... very slow gameplay. The ship shouldn´t have such manouverability, it´s slow and at full speed looked like a submarine in deep sea. Some remind of Wing Commander, i though it could be closer to X-Wing, I was exci... Read Full Review

    I almost felt that I was playing Wing Commander.

    By cgicore | Review Date: Oct 17, 2008 | PC

    I almost felt that I was playing Wing Commander. Good story, good sound, good play. Why the critics and overall gave 6 to 6.5 and some even 2, that's beyond me, but it is indeed a solid game worth playing. A must have fo... Read Full Review

    Not the best out there

    By darth-gotica | Review Date: Oct 14, 2008 | PC

    Dark horizon is not the among best games in the space simulation genre but it packs some punch. First of the bad sides is the shortness of it. 22 linear missions compared to vast open space of x3 and freelancer is not ... Read Full Review

    Clumsy controls and poor HUD make this game harder to play than it should be...

    By tanjo | Review Date: Oct 06, 2008 | PC

    Installation and configuration is straight forward. The game has an electronic manual (PDF) but doesn't include a reader (usually Acrobat Reader). Running it for the first time, you might encounter codec issues if you do... Read Full Review

    For those looking for something new in the space sim genre, it may be best to look elsewhere.

    By MythPro1 | Review Date: Sep 28, 2008 | PC

    Dark Horizons is your typical space simulation game. While it's definitely not a bad thing at all, as anyone who's a fan of the genre will be more than happy playing this game, I just wished for more. I wanted something ... Read Full Review
