Video Game Reviews of DarkStar One (DVD-Rom)
Customer Review: Great Space Game!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I read through alot of reviews. Alot of them bad with comments on software issues. They ranged from wont run on Vista to widescreen monitors cause the game to constantly crash. I almost didn't buy it but I did. Figured I waste money on worse things and all I have to say is I am glad I did give it a try. The version I recieved was already the newer patched 1.3 version. I run it on Vista 32bit on a 28 inch widescreen. All settings maxed, set resolution for my widescreen and it runs just fine. I have played roughly through half the game with no bugs, glitches or crashes.
I love the simplistic UI and controlls. If you like flying sims, though this is more an arcade type game then sim you will like flying around and just blowing up the bad guys, or blow up the good guys if you want to be one of the bad guys. Decent story line and voice over acting is pretty top notch in my opinion.
There is alot of Star Trek feel in it as I am sure the developers are Trek fans. Alot of the races in the game have you saying..."they are just like that race on Star Trek" But this is by far one of the better space, sci fi games I have played in a long time. There are tons of bad sci fi games, and this is not one of them.
So if you thinking of getting this game, but have read all the bad reviews I would say toss them aside. This game plays fine on my rig and I enjoy it very much.
