    There's a lot of good special effects like detailed explosions, missle trails, other giant ships and huge planets you have to fly near and around. And there are some great cutscenes using both the game engine and pre-rendered CGI to help move the storyline along.

    A throwback, basic space-shooter right inline with a game like Starlancer and nails what it set out do. The intent of this licensed product just wasn't very inspired.

    It's a great game, with good graphics, immersive storyline and an overall appeal that I can't ignore.

    But if you're the type that will get a kick out of watching the fighters launch from the tubes on the titular ship (and those launches look a lot like they did on the TV show), and you long to put those one-eyed robots in their place, this game will entertain you enough to feed your nostalgic cravings even if none of the characters or even the robots look all that familiar.

    A little frustrating because of the lack of save points within missions, but otherwise a killer game. Control is great, graphics are excellent. The feeling of hurtling through space is there, much more so than in the Star Wars: Starfighter games. The people who are giving this game negative reviews are just jaded critics who are tired of the whole space shooter genre in general. If you like space shooters, this is one of the best. Just be prepared to be a little frustrated when you have to replay an entire mission because you failed to meet one of the mission objectives. It's not nearly as frustrating as, say, losing your life at the end of a level in Indiana Jones & the Emperor's Tomb and having to replay the entire level. Check out BSG. I'm sure that the lukewarm reception so far means that it will be the Platinum Hits price in a few months.… Expand

    This is not for the nostalgic, nor is it for those who aren't into playing space shooters like Freelancer and the like. These games only offer save points at the end of each mission. Making you work to the next goal, and making the games rewarding. This game is a definite for the ADHD crowd, which I happen to be one of. A game that is extremely challenging and rewarding. The graphics are great for the XBOX, and the music could use a boost. But to be honest, I never notice the music or sounds when I am in the middle of a fire fight. So I would highly recommend this game to all Hyperacitves. And tell those who are not into fast paced action shooters and those who are buying this game for the nostalgic feeling, to stay away. … Expand
