    Unfortunately, a dull story stains the otherwise shiny chrome. [July 2014, p.78]

    Until Star Citizen and Elite: Dangerous hopefully re-ignite the space-opera genre, Strike Suit Zero is pretty much as good as it gets.

    It may lack in variety, but the core conceit of Strike Suit Zero: Director's Cut is both sound and consistently enjoyable. Swoop in with your ship, turn into a robot, destroy everything, get the hell out. It's not subtle, but it is good, wholesome, dumb fun.

    With competent gameplay and a great concept, if it had had more investment behind it and a bit of a polish, this game could have been excellent. [Issue#111, p.84]

    Those who are fans of space combat games (e.g. Homeworld, Wing Commander or X-Wing) can do no harm by checking out this game on the Xbox One, and those who haven't delved into the world of space combat to date should take a close look at this title too, as there is some fun to be had.

    Strike Suit Zero: Director's Cut isn't a bad game, it's just not a particularly great one. If you're screaming out for a space combat game in the Colony Wars mould, however, this will certainly fit the bill. Just don't expect to be playing Strike Suit Zero: Director's Cut for a particularly long time after you've beaten the missions the first time around.

    It’s not a bad game and the general combat can have moments of fun. But as I said at the start, most of the time when I was playing this title, I just kept thinking to myself “I am not enjoying this and would rather be doing something else right now”. Take that for what you will.

It is consistently enjoyable, and by no means easy. Swooping around ships in your suit is unique to this game, and is strangely satisfying. The graphics look absolutely sweet on Xbox One, with the art style being as new and radical as anyone could want, with the bright and coloured backgrounds of outer space.… Expand

It turns out to be a lot of fun and is a very polished arcade game. At first I felt like I was playing the most graphically impressive version of Galaga ever made but after the first level it has a personality of its own. If you are familiar with the mobile game Galaxy on Fire then you'll feel at home with the controls. The explosions in the game look awesome; they are a bright light then explosion with fire, then a space suction that seems to barely implode right before exploding (sounds weird but looks cool). There are multiple ships to use and they transform into robots that look like something out of Armored Core. It is very fun and replayable.… Expand

    Not going to say that it's the best game ever for space flight (not that I've played others, it's my first one). The controls are wierd butNot going to say that it's the best game ever for space flight (not that I've played others, it's my first one). The controls are wierd but you learn pretty quickly. Beautiful backgrounds for every level. Story is okay at best.

    Overall for this one, it's my personal opinion that takes hold of me. It get's an 8 because I keep coming back to play it. My personal enjoyment lead to this score.

    If I would look pure objetively at this game. 6. Maybe 7. But because every victory fills me with satisfaction and every time I win with little to no life left, I feel superior to the poor colonists in the game. Makes sence since You're in the Strike Suit. But you're not invincible. The sense of coming out alive feels great in the game. Solid 8 for me.    … Expand

Voix (en anglais seulement) passables. Effets sonores moyens : c'est du "piou-piou" sans imagination. Les commandes sur le pad sont assez bien disposées malgré l'absence de vue cockpit virtuel (la vue est fixe). Maniabilité déplorable : imprécision permanente, sensation de flou désagréable et ce n'est pas la vue extérieure (optionnelle) qui peut aider (c'est même pire). Beaucoup de vaisseaux à l'écran certes mais pourquoi est-ce aussi confus ?

    Conclusion : les vieux Freespace et Wing Commander peuvent dormir sur leurs deux oreilles du sommeil des justes, on est pas près de revoir des simulations de combat spatial de cette qualité (sans même mentionner TIE Fighter). Strike machin est décidément trop bâclé et trop bancal pour prétendre à quoi que ce soit.    … Expand
