    If you are looking for an outstanding visual and visceral action experience then you haven’t seen or played anything this cool since that old "Incoming" game from a few years ago.

    The graphics in Space Interceptor are what make this game worth looking at as they are really great looking! If you have a powerful enough PC you will be surprised to see how great this game looks for being just a budget title.

    As long as you treat it like the no-frills budget game that it is, there is plenty to enjoy here.

    It's so straightforward that even casual gamers will be able to jump right in and start playing, but entertaining enough to give veteran players a simple joyride.
  6. Worth Playing
    75
    A flawed gem. It’s a lot of fun to play, it looks and feels great, and it’s very reasonably priced, but a number of omissions (most notably multiplayer capability) give it a short life-span with very limited replayability.

    Ce vieux machin encore assez joli ressemble à de la baston dans l’espace mais pas seulement : les combats se déroulent aussi à la surface deCe vieux machin encore assez joli ressemble à de la baston dans l’espace mais pas seulement : les combats se déroulent aussi à la surface de planètes plus ou moins variées… à dire vrai, les Wing Commander 3 et 4 ont proposé en leur temps quelques missions au sol mais ce n’était pas franchement très intéressant…

    Car en effet, l’espace (infini…) et les vaisseaux, c’est surtout dans l’espace que ça se passe, pas sur les planètes ou alors, on est carrément dans d’autres styles de jeu ! (FPS, TPS, stratégie, jeu de rôle etc, etc). Or Project machintruc là, il propose surtout des conneries par terre rapidement répétitives…

    En outre, s’il se prend vite en main (tout se joue à la souris et un peu au clavier, c’est toujours bizarre pour de la baston sidérale) il s’avère extrêmement arcade, (très) désagréablement arcade ! la musique électro d’ascenseur peut en témoigner, tout comme les bruitages avec bien trop de « pious-pious »… assez ridicules, il faut bien le dire.

    On doit faire des cabrioles et des loopings lorsqu’on se bastonne à la surface afin d’éviter tout ce qui nous tire dessus (c’est-à-dire « tout ») ce qui rend le jeu confus et peu maniable, bordélique et très bête. En bref, une daube de plus à accrocher à mon tableau de chasse !    … Full Review »

    Here's the instructions that allowed me to    Nephew bought this game, saw if I could get it to work, played it, was actually pretty surprised.
    Here's the instructions that allowed me to get the game to work on win7:

    1.
    Go to the HKCUSoftwareCity InteractiveProject FreedomV4D Direct3D Renderer.

    There, you can find Width and Height. Double click on it, and change the value to Decimal. Put your desired resolution, and the game will be applied with your custom resolution next time when you execute the game.

    2. Create a shortcut of the exe and add -skipmovies to the end of the target.

    This game has good graphics (it actually feels like your flying in space close to a huge planet while dodging some asteroids), relatively good voice acting and the gameplay/control of the ship is great.
    It actually has a first person view, which is extremely rare for this type of game, and you can even roll 360 degrees. Think decent/homeworld/freelancer with just pure action.

    Maybe this game just got released at the wrong time, was overshadowed by other games etc.
    But this is a pretty decent action packed game that more than decent, it's so simple yet so fun and kinda challenging too.    … Full Review »
