<a href="http://www.1up.com/">1Up</a> has <A href="http://www.1up.com/do/reviewPage?cId=3152943">a review</a> of the recently released <A href="http://www.darkstar-one.com">Darkstar One</a>. The score is a steady <b>7/10
<br>
</b>, with the main complaint seeming to be space sims vets will pwn teh kombat.

<blockquote>While it owes much of the inspiration for its concept and gameplay to Freelancer (and, by extension, Wing Commander: Privateer), DarkStar One changes up enough details to keep a pained "not again!" from escaping your lips. The setup will be immediately familiar to any gamer: Your father bequeaths you his final creation, an upgradable, alien-powered spaceship called "Darkstar One." You'll need to use it to scour the galaxy for clues as to who killed him, and why -- which of course unlocks a larger plot wherein the fate of the galaxy may be at stake. Yeah, it ain't Pulitzer worthy (and there are a few kinks in the translated-from-German dialogue), but it works well enough to keep you interested in whom you're killing and why.</blockquote>

Considering we typically only get like one space trader a year if we're lucky, I can't see anyone complaining about <i>NOT AGAIN!!!</i> with this kind of game.
