    For 800 MS Points there are few better Xbox Arcade releases out there; make it your own mission to the stars.

    There's also a sizeable RPG's-worth of game here, with an epic storyline and side-missions aplenty. [Feb 2012, p.91]

    Interesting idea, this mix of space shooter, RPG and a hint of trade, which promises over 40 hours of gameplay. Some weak points though, with lacking explanations for controls and too small screen fonts being the most annoying. To wit, the story isn't that original and illogical at times. Can't compare to the Summer of Arcade's top titles, but at this price, if the genre mix appeals to you, it's still a good buy.

    Only falls short of its own grand ambitions. [Jan 2012, p.103]

    A gorgeous game, that's huge for a Live Arcade title, it has so much scope. A great balance of shooting, exploration and RPG/Trade elements. Nice if you want a balanced gameplay style and a game you can lose yourself in.

    Just 800 Points for all this? Top marks from me!    … Expand

    This game is beautiful! I needed a break from Skyrim; so I went shopping for a different genre. Not expecting to find one as intriguing and consuming. To my surprise F:G swallowed 6 straight hours - and suddenly it was 3am (just playing the trial)! I dreamt about it and thought about it the whole next day at work. Then, I read some user and mag reviews - trying to decide if this was a "flash in the pan" and whether I should spend the 800pts on it.
    Well, after another 5 hours playing the full game, I'm still glad I bought it. Sure there are week points, but the depth, customization, graphics and ability to have 4 custom sentients attached to your spaceship - mining, boosting, & fighting - keep bringing me back!
    I look forward to digging into the multiplayer tonite; although I was only buying for single player. So - I don't know what's so horribly wrong with this game that it receives an avg 69 from the magazines. I typically average the user & magazine scores to get a true score. So far, this game is a real treat - whether you want to sit back and mine/trade, or get into a huge warzone firefight!
    BTW, play the trial first to get a feel for the game, then start over and concentrate on learning how to customize your pilot skills, ship abilities and sentient abilities/boosts.

    Pretty much a grindfest, but the game is so darn long you can't really go wrong if you like the trial. Set in the year 2525, you are a robot chip who needs to find the meaning of life. You blast away stuff to find ore, the meaning of life is not there. There is a Limbo style level. The game saves well, freezes hardly ever. Give it a shot, turkey crotch.… Expand
