FWIW, we reviewed it at http://www.terra.es/juegos quite a long time ago and gave it a 93 which is a very good mark by our standards.

Nice newtonian physics, great atmosphere and superb replayability.



Must be cheap now, it's a great buy if you are into space combat simulators.

Multiplayer certainly, but I cannot go as far as assuring you there's coop... I didn't do the review, but talked to the reviewer.

Its crap. Flashy eyecandy and loud sounds combined with boring gameplay and little realism. I couldnt wait to get it (i love Freespace and Freespace 2 + the x-wing/tie fighter games) but I have been thoroughly dissapointed.

If you want a deep and involved space sim get Battlecruiser Millenium.

Haven't tried it myself but PCZone said it was complete and utter pants. And the only review of theirs I have disagreed with was BoB (they thought it was great...)... YMMV, of course...;)

Have it, multiplayer but no co-op, good game, some physics more than X-wing and Tie Fighter series or FreeSpace for that matter.
I found the gameplay a bit boring at times, I give it a 7 out of 10.

Thanks for the info guys. Been awhile since I did any space games. I've been outta the loop since the mid nineties when my flight sim addiction fired up again, so I wasn't sure what was hot and what was crap.

Thanks again.

Red the reviews of those people who actually PLAYED BCM, not hose who looked and came up with 'the graphics aren't as good as Iwar'. The graphics are ok, nothing special(big update planned tho), but the gameplay contains depth never seen in a space sim before. Its far far ahead. Go check out the Battlecruiser site.
