![]() ![]() You push the stick to the right your plane/ship rolls to the right. You see.from the Wright brothers to the Space Shuttle one thing in flying remained the same. BIG MISTAKE! The Xbox version of this game is done by amateurs who don't know anything a about flight/space sims, and that's why this version is crap that I will never play again. So much so that when I accidentally found a version for teh Xbox 360 I immediately bought it. BIG MISTAKE! The I loved DarkStar One on my PC. I got this game for $5, and I don't think I'd pay a whole lot more for it, but I can't say it's a bad space simulator.just that space is really boring. The ship's a little slow and the default weapon sounds like a Star Wars reject, but otherwise it's fun. Space battles are fun usually, once you get the controls. The game tells you it has "Over 300 star systems to explore!" That's half true it does have over 300 star systems, but since about 250 of them consist of little more than a trade station, a planet decal (or picture), and some random debris, that's not saying a whole lot. The missions are pretty much all the same within their respective types. From there, you go around collecting credits by killing pirates, pirating for yourself, smuggling, or escorting cargo ships between systems. You must hunt down the vile murderer and bring him to justice, but first you must collect enough credits to get to a star system with information. The plot goes like this: your father has been murdered by a mysterious criminal, but on the bright side he left you a ship that can be upgraded with alien artifacts. ![]() The plot goes I've always wanted to try a space simulator, but Darkstar One: Broken Alliance might have turned me off from simulators forever. I've always wanted to try a space simulator, but Darkstar One: Broken Alliance might have turned me off from simulators forever. But be warned that this game is for those of us who want a 4X game so badly that we can't score it lower than 7.5. Overall the game fills a void that has been neglected on the console and that in itself makes this game worth 20 USD and a 7.5 review score in my book. The graphics are crisp and clean but to me they feel unnatural. Extermination has less to offer than exploitation. Exploitation is not worth discussing because of how little it brings to the game. There is no station management or player controlled solar systems. Expansion consists of opening new solar systems. When you enter a new system everything in it is listed in a Target List leaving little room for actual exploration. Exploration is comprised of entering new solar systems via your upgradable warp drives jump distance which is not only determined by money but mainly where you are in the storyline. #DARKSTAR ONE SHIP UPGRADE#It's a fairly shallow game that doesn't offer much customization, although there are plenty of upgrade components. Most people who enjoy 4X games, exploration, expansion, exploitation, and extermination will find this game lacking at the same time playable. Most people who enjoy 4X games, DarkStar One: Broken Alliance for the Xbox 360 is currently the only one of its kind as of Feb. … ExpandĭarkStar One: Broken Alliance for the Xbox 360 is currently the only one of its kind as of Feb. But can we have more games like this on console PLEEEEEASE. So Kudos Kalypso for releasing this game,cos theres people out there(myself included)that have been crying out for a game like this on cosole,for the longest time.(Probably the last decent space combat game on a console,was Starlancer,on the Sega Dreamcast,which is unacceptable).This has got everything you would want from a game like this.You can go where you want,& take on whatever missions you want,& do trading also,Elite style.I like the way that the Alien artifacts you collect,you use to upgrade your ship(The Darkstar One),to the systems you want to work on,& the way it shows visibly in the look of your ship.The combat could be a little better if i'm honest,Could do with being a little slower & more tactical like say Starlancer or The X-Wing games,but its ok,& not too fast & 'wizzy' like Project Silpheed.But all in all,if your looking for a decent Space Combat/Trading game,then this will do nicely. So Kudos We REALLY need more games like this on the 360! or any console come to that,Especially as this is the only one like this on it.
