Tags: FlatspaceThere's a review of Flatspace over at GameTunnel. They ended up giving the game a 9/10, which is basically their standard score for everything, I think. I'd crack on them a little more for that, but it's a site dedicated to indie gaming, so they can't be too evil. Anyway, here's a clip:
Throughout the different sectors you will find all sorts of ships, each going about their own business. The game amazingly keeps track of each and every ship, meaning that entire battles may happen in sectors without your knowledge. Scavengers will scavenge and bounty hunters will hunt, and you won't even have to be anywhere near their sector. If you agree to kill a space pirate, it is possible that someone else will do it and take your bounty before you even track him down. The fact that each individual ship is being controlled at all times is no small feat, and Cornutopia should be proud of this development.
Don't you just hate bounty jumpers? I'm actually hoping for a sequel to this thing, just because there's a lot good there like the living universe deal discussed above. It just needs a little more oomph to compete with things like Escape Velocity: Nova. Then again, it's only $21.00, too.
