    This will be two reviews in one.

    First few hours of the game, I rate an eight (first 3-5 hours). The fights look cool, tend to be thinking-based, you can trade here and there - you know, the usual. Quests are fun, script-based text adventures. However, after those 5 hours, you'll see that the possibilities game offered had just ended. And you don't want to play it anymore. It gets

    However, after those 5 hours, you'll see that the possibilities game offered had just ended. And you don't want to play it anymore. It gets irritating then, and you rate it a 0.

    What I mean is, all the things that made me like this game to a point of an 8, turned the other cheek and began irritating me. Pointless battles, pointless fighting, pointless pointless pointless.

  1. It’s a space sim, it’s a text based adventure, it’s a 3D shooter, and it’s a trading game. And it comes with the original game as well. A very impressive package with something for everybody.
  2. Space Rangers isn’t going to blow you away, but it may just suck you up for a few long evenings.
  3. PC Format

    Like "Pirates!" in space, but not as good as that suggests. [Oct 2005, p.92]
