May be I should have allowed a few more hours to like this space sim. I hated it.

Space sims are so hard to find. When I got hold of Independence War 2, that from a publisher like Atari-- I was way too excited. To me, Space Sims are a completely different type of gaming experience. Once you are hooked into a game-- that becomes an unforgettable experience.
Given the Gamespot's rating, I expected nothing less from this game. The graphics looked good and the game opened well. But when I started playing it, I started sweating with the controls. When I thought I managed the controls-- I felt that I was going nowhere with the game. The space seemed like infinity and I was floating aimlessly in the dark. So I quit and retry. I quit and start from a different point. Whatever I do-- everything seemed aimless till I grew tired of trying. I realised that I must have overlooked some of the controls and commands-- which led me to drive my ship aimlessly.
But my point is-- a game should come in a package of easy set of basic controls. If its too hard-- its not meant for me. I put this game in this category and shelved it for good. Too bad, I missed the good stuffs inside.
