Considering buying Star Fury

A review from PC GAMER

ps: The demo is free...

Try the demo its got a full campaingn in it and should give you a better idea of how the game works

You might enjoy a game Mircosoft put out, around 6ish years ago. It was called Freelancer, and it was possibly one of the best games I have ever played, especially in multi-player. I have seen a few copies at my local EB games locations. I suggest that anyone who has not tried this game, should!!

geting off topic here but egosofts X2 is a beter game than freelancer which is a bit liniar for a first person game of this type there is also X3 which now the origional hidious memory leak is fixed is as good and also very good looking.

X3 is now effectively bug free and whilst the UI looks daunting it’s fairly intuitive once you get used to it. It took me two hours at the weekend and would have been quicker if I wasent an X2 player and the UI having changed significantly between games whilst maintaining similar functionality. The game did have a very bad memory leak on release which is the bug reflected in the reviews however that’s long gone and patches are now free expansions rather than fixes. This problem caused me to stick to X2 but having played my nephews version of the X3 “game of the year edition” it played as well as X2 and looked so pretty

Star fury has is easier to lean and I would recommend the star fury demo as a free try out star fury is a gem of a game but its not as immersive as X2/3 I did however play all of the games three campaigns to completion twice before Christmas last year and found it a lot of fun.

I used to play x2 and enjoyed it a whole lot. About a year ago i found eve-online. It's a mmporpg, sort of like a space simulator. You are a pilot and you can be a pirate, a merchant, and industrialist, a mercenary, etc etc etc, really fun, complex and endless. Bad part is it's online and you have to pay a monthly fee, but you can play for a free trial 15 day period.
If you like the x series maybe you should try eve-online.
cheers

I bought original (polish) version of Star Fury few days ago in Wroclaw, in Saturn shop just for few PLN in a sale . Nice game

Starfury is quite similar to Vega Strike, only it has better graphics and they got rid of the ability to turn/travel along the Z coordinate and they left out the auto-pilot function..

Vega Strike also still has better visuals for while your in stations or on planets. Still a lot of room for improvement..then again isn't there always?

- United we stand, divided we fall...but dam it you touch my cheez its and not even god will be able to save you!
