GameDaily has posted a review of Space Rangers 2, even going so far as to compare it to a space-faring Oblivion. Odd comparisons aside, the score is 4/5 and here's a snip:At the conclusion of the tutorial you're tossed into space and left to your own devices, and this is where the game's enormity starts to become shockingly apparent. You see, Space Rangers 2 is like a street sign that points in a billion different directions. Elemental Games did a nice job of keeping the interface simple and highlighting the path you could take, so finding something to do is as simple as dragging your mouse along the bottom left portion of the screen, where various tips/objectives reside, but this game's pretty much a blank canvas and you're free to paint whatever you'd like. To that end, you can explore the universe, hopping to each individual solar system, each of which has its own stars and planets, you can immediately attack enemies, explore planets, buy and sell items, blow up asteroids and collect the minerals that they leave behind, and do a plethora of other things. The amount of options is just staggering. |
