| Dark Horizon |

Dark Horizon is a stark and atmospheric space combat simulation that aims to hurl its audience through an action-packed adventure, piloting its own ship through the perils that only space could have to offer. It's a plot-rich experience; 22 challenging missions, laced with special features such as full ship customization, original weapon creation, joystick support, and several modes of combat.

I am quite disappointed by the fact that the game felt so unpolished and crashed so much.

Sadly, it seems Wing Commander fans will have to wait a bit longer for their salvation. [Dec 2008, p.69]

When I first heard about this game, it sounded like a cut down version of Freelancer or Starlancer two of my favorite space shooters of all time in the gameplay department. While it was a good attempt to give the genre another go, this is one game that did not even give it a good old try to re-invigorate this dead genre.

There's no doubt about it; Dark Horizon is flawed. From flat-out errors to those moments where you can't help but wonder what, exactly, the developer was thinking, the game feels almost unfinished.

LEVEL (Czech Republic)
Slightly above-average, this space shooter builds its playability on frenetic dogfights and detailed tuning of the vessel. Poor visuals of the surrounding universe reduce the overall impression. [Nov 2008]

Dark Horizon is a game that should be seen, not heard. Whether it should be played depends on just how empty your life is.

It’s just average. It doesn’t push the bar in any way with nothing revolutionary appearing in it. The best way to describe this game is safe.

Surely space combat has come further than this in the last decade? [Issue#13, p.58]

Dark Horizon is an improvement on its Tarr Chronicles predecessor, but that isn't saying much.
