    The single most impressive thing about this game is the visuals. It ‘s quite remarkable to behold. Not in a “isn’t that pretty as an oil painting” kind of way, but in the sheer grand scale of it.

    While I wouldn’t call this title really high quality, it rests on the strength of good gameplay and a proven console game style.

    Though the weak storyline, too-easy-for-its-own-good firing controls, and a few other small errors take away from the game's fun, and keep it from being a truly great game, it still isn't enough to take down the solid gameplay complemented by the game's unique transforming ideas.

    It's an addicting game, a good game, with a solid idea, great AI, and plenty of extras.

    Looks great, controls well, and has more explosions per square inch than any three other games. We love it. [Feb 2003, p.34]

    A surprisingly solid game. The numerous missions are hard, but not impossible.

    By far the coolest, most memorable aspect of the game is the ships' ability to transform on-the-fly.

    It's quite a fun game, challenging and interesting. It loses out on the wingmates - most of them die quite easily, and on the storyline, It's quite a fun game, challenging and interesting. It loses out on the wingmates - most of them die quite easily, and on the storyline, which felt more of an extra, pasted onto the end of each scene rather than part of the game itself. Overall it was a good game, but is less immersive than many games I've played… Full Review »
