8.9

Good story
Solid mechanics
Nice sense of immersion

Combat was a little shaky with aiming
Some graphical hitches

(I tried it on PC and felt it was a bit more solid, so maybe a 9.0 or 9.1 but I presume from the cover we're rating 360 version)

8.7

+Great story
+Awesome, likable characters
+Game world was intricate and well-crafted
+Fun combat system

-Framerate/Graphical hiccups
-Repetitive level design for the ships
-Nothing exciting to do on planets not part of the main storyline


This game could have easily been a 9.5 in my book if they had spent a bit more time hammering everything out.

The score is 8.94!

@ Barozi--I'll get that fixed. thanks for pointing that out.

Thread's over. I just wanted to point out that the game offered very little in the way of explaining how to do anything. To some, that may be a minus because they didn't know what to do. To others, it was possibly a plus because, after playing it for several hours, everything somehow falls into place, and the player suddenly realizes how awesome and deep the game is. Either way, the game sold well. Those who loved it, loved it. The sequel will be here, soon.

I hope you didn't count Kylie's vote ^^
