Levels:Around 30
Procontroller:A little

Rating:
Graphics-8
The textures on the terrain are a bit blocky when upclose, but that doesn't bug me. The enemies however, have nice high res textures on 'em.

Sound/music-9
Good bassy music and battle surround system. Cool effects. The left and right channels are reversed though...doh!

Control-9
Very realistic. You'll slide, but that comes with driving a hover craft.

Power-7 1/2
Lots of polygons, but I expect much more from the Jag n the frame rate dept. The night levels are light sourced nicely. Good voice and sound effects.

Fun factor-9
I really get into these space battle type games, so I loved it.

Overall-86%
