| RPGDot Feature: Space Rangers 2 Review |
|
After a year that sets a new benchmark for shallow, incomplete and buggy games, Elemental's 'Space Rangers 2: Dominators' is a surprise package thats both feature-rich and just plain fun. Best described as a "space trader", it rolls together exploration, trading and RPG elements - along with some unexpected mini-games. We take a close look in our review:<em><blockquote>This sense of a living universe is one of Space Rangers' strongest points. Many systems will have dozens of other ships moving about, including other Rangers who are in direct competition with the player - there's even a ranking system and leader board to track your performance against each of them. Some ships will call for your help when attacked by another, or even approach you to propose an advance attack on another ship. It's hard to know exactly how intelligent the AI is but sometimes you'll discern behaviour that seems like individual personalities: one specific pirate drove me mad by seeming to follow me to different systems, always harassing my ship, then zipping off with his superior speed to take refuge at a planet if I landed any significant damage on him.</em></blockquote>Read it all <a href="http://www.rpgdot.com/index.php?hsaction=10053&ID=1189">here</a>. |

Very nice review ... I missed the GoGamer $19.99 special and have been hoping for a US release ... looks like I'll have to cough up the full price on this one.

I just watched the 'Introduction to Space Rangers' movie on the Excalibur website and this game looks VERY nice. It actually reminds me a little of two of my all time space adventure favorites, Starflight and a REALLY old Atari 800 game, Universe. I'll definitely be checking this title out. |
