Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Recently completed "Space Interceptor" on the easy setting with the following computer specs: Pent 4 (3.06 gig). 1 gig ram, Nvidia 6800 Ultra video card, SB Audigy 2 LZ sound, 5.1 Klipsch Ultra speakers, and I/O Magic 5.1 Surround Sound headphones. Here are my viewpoints.
1. Best space shooter I've played in years and years.
2. Awesome atmosphere, graphics, sound, story, voice-acting, mechanics, etc. Explosions are great and the weapons are powerful and uniquely varied enough to make a difference.
3. Easy to play basically with just the mouse and number keys (for weapon selection)and a couple of other keys. Very responsive. Multiple flying speeds with intuitive mouse wheel control. "C" key changes view from behind, cockpit, larger perspective.
4. Unlimited ammo for regular auto guns. Limited but sufficient quantities of secondary weapon ammo. Good balance.
5. Large quantity of destructable buildings, spacecraft, and objects all with fabulous demise.
6. Missions provide variety and challenge(especially latter ones).
7. Took me about 20 hours to complete. Needed to replay some missions over several times until I determined the best strategy/tactics/weapons/flying speed.
8. Great surround stereo sound with external speakers and I/O Magic Sound Assault 5.1 Surround Sound headphones ($67)
9. Tremendous quality product in all regards for a modest and more than fair price.
10. No auto save but you can save at any spot in the game. When you complete a mission be sure to manually save or you may lose your progress point. Plenty of free "save slots."
11. Didn't have any software glitches, slow-downs, clipping, etc. Seems to be well tested, polished, refined....at least on my computer with its configuration. The minimum specs for the game imply a moderate configuration.
Some areas you may or may not like:
1. Repetitive complimentary comments from fellow flyers on successful enemy hits. "Right between the Eyes", "New Ace", etc.
2. Some repetitive mission objective declarations & cutscenes during intense mission combat. Sometimes distracts from the flow and concentration. A few presented impatiently with haughty voice.
3. Minimal opportunities to "warm-up" to the characters involved. A few jokes and some conversation but they are "fighters" not "socialites."
Overall, I would recommend this software highly for a great "Space and Shooter" romp. It may be difficult to find except through Amazon and the publisher since it unfortunately hasn't received much publicity. Gamespot.com and IGN.com both gave it favorable reviews and stimulated me to purchase. I'm glad I did.
Enjoy!
