3DO

Starfighter 3000

If you want a lot of game for you buck, Star Fighter is it. Offering you 60 missions, good graphics, cool music and tons of action, this title has the makings of a great game. The free movement (even allowing you to fly into space) is great, not to mention being able to blow up anything in your path. The only drawback is that your aircraft seems to move slowly at times, making the feeling of speed nearly nonexistent. Overall, Star Fighter is a great title for the 3DO.

Test een nieuw type ruimte- en planeetjager door in de vorm van missies allerlei doelen te raken of uit te schakelen. De sceneries zijn erg mooi en de handling van het schip prima.

Overall, a standout title for such a weary genre. Let's just hope it doesn't start multiplying into unwanted sequels, like other flight sims we know.

Ill-defined graphics also limit the excitement. Colorful backgrounds lack detail, objects suddenly appear as you approach, and there's not enough dramatic intro footage to get you airborne. The sounds vary from effective voices to shrieking music that at times is unbearable. With 60 missions, Star Fighter is worth a long look.
