    Great story and gameplay, I wish that the game was just a little bit more personal, I would kill for a space sim game that actually recognized the indiviual character that was created, but oh well. Over all it was a great game and I couldn't sleep until I had pooned the ever loving hell out of it.

    All in all, great game with exelent storry and atmosphere. only bad thing is constant windows crashes due to bad sound drivers.

    One of the best space sims ever made. It had a gritty earth based storyline, fantastic music, effects, and game play. One of the first games to include simultaneous multiplayer and it opened up additional missions when playing with friends. A+ effort on this one.

    On sent l'esprit, le fantôme de Wing Commander dans StarLancer mais malheureusement, rien n'y fait, le coeur n'y est pas ! le scénario directement déterré de la Guerre Froide (les méchants Russes oh mon dieu...) et de Pearl Harbour (!) fait de la peine.

Pas du tout épique mais pathétique comme ses dialogues d'une beaufitude hallucinante et la VF, la Version Québécoise en fait, n'arrange pas les choses.

    Son interface est perfectible (pas de touche pour cibler les attaquants des vaisseaux que l'on doit protéger par exemple !). Le jeu est aussi bien trop sombre : même en poussant la gamma, il est très difficile de cibler ce qu'on voudrait dans le viseur. Plutôt joli, StarLancer n'arrive pourtant pas à la cheville d'un Freespace 2, un peu léger pour un jeu sorti un an après. Quant aux missions, c'est rapidement casse-roubignoles.    … Expand

    Loses ground with an inferior scaling system and limited use of large scale structures and ships, which negatively impact its graphics and gameplay scores.

    The missions themselves are typical space sim affairs that never quite innovate, but always manage to entertain nonetheless. [PC Gamer UK]

    Starlancer also features some of the most believable voice acting. However, I really hated Hawkee in the later missions, she was just plain irritating.
