| This is a game that looks very promising, but doesn't seem to deliver. The graphics of people are actual photographs that have been superimposed on computer-generated backgrounds, so they look flat and unrealistic. The animation is repetitive without variety, so it becomes old very quick. The flight model is VERY space-realistic, with all the trouble (and a whole new world of maneuvers) that come with that, although Terminus provides a slider that lets you adjust the level of realism. The target tracking system is easier to see on the screen than the target itself, so it's visually distracting. The story is rather open ended, and didn't seem to get interesting until I started disobeying orders. In all fairness, Terminus is designed to be open ended since it's primarily an on-line game. I have not played it on-line, so my perspective might not be fair. | |
