> Yeah, this is
a PC to DC conversion. And yes, it looks hot! FYI, StarLancer
is a sci-fi space shooter similar to Wing Commander (Sega CD) and Darklight
Conflict (Saturn). You pilot various spacecraft while dogfighting
with the enemy, and taking part in numerous, multifaceted missions.
Thanks to your included DC modem, the option to play StarLancer online
will be yours...
> Are you excited
about online play? Good. StarLancer has a cooperative mode
where you can team with up to three buddies online. When beginning,
choose from twelve available spaceships, each with a variety of armament.
A single player online game pits up to eight space-aces against each other.
> I've played
the demo, and I must say, this game looks awesome! You'll see sun
flares, detailed capital ships, enormous explosions, and much more.
The control is standard space fare, complete with hyperspace jumps and
confusing 3D radar. The missions involve a little exploration, and
a lot of dogfighting. Overall, just what you'd expect from this type
of game, only with Dreamcast quality... |
