    Even offset by the low price and the arcade-style context, Battlestar Galactica just doesn't have the punch to stand out in today's market. Even the graphics engine is marred by low-resolution textures, small engagement zones, and dated special effects, and what bothers me about this game is how it could easily be a lot better were it simply blessed with more expanded gameplay.

    This arcade game is relatively shallow and a pale imitation of its television inspiration.

    This game is an unchallenging space shooter made a little more difficult with frustrating design and a terrible camera angle. Even if you're a fan of the TV series, we really cannot recommend a purchase.

    This cheap, tacky space combat sim is a stinking mess, insulting the name of the series merely by presuming to associate itself with it. [Mar 2008, p.83]

    An insult to both fans, and the creators of the show, and serves as a lesson for developers on how not to treat licensed material. [Feb 2008, p.78]

    Pros: You get to fly ships and shoot cylons Cons: you need better graphics card than you need for say, Halo, but not nearly as good a game. IMHO, they should have included this game free if you bought the boxed set of the DVD TV series. The controls are akward and the game play is two dimensional. Essentially you're always on a flat plane. Yeah, below you, you can see the other shps in the fleet, but you have no X axis. If they'd made this a first person space flght sim with some compelling storyline it would be a good game. But they didn't.… Full Review »
