The Full Game comes with a variety of scenarios. Conquering each one from both sides could provide hours of fun in itself. But if you ever get bored with that, Star Control came with a Full Game scenario editor, so you’ll never be short of a new scenario to play or share with others. It is also in the Full Game where hints of Star Control’s storyline are found. But aside from the manual, it was left up to Star Control 2 to show us the true depths of that story. But the personality of the game still shone through in every aspect of it. It is for that personality along with sheer innovativeness that I would like to give this game 5 stars. Realizing I’m in the minority here, I’ll concede to 4.5.

Power Play
Was auf den ersten Blick so simpel aussieht, entpuppt sich nach mehreren Partien als knackiges Strategiespiel. Der Computergegner ist hartnäckig, schnell und gemein - für Freunde bissiger Computerstrategen ist Star Control ein Fest. Der Actionteil wird erst auf einem schnellen AT vernünftig spielbar. Dann wird Star Control eine wahre Freude: Vor allem die superfiesen Zweitwaffen machen den Kampf zur Schau, außerdem ergeben sich durch die 14 Schiffstypen immer neue spannende Duelle. Wer auf einen guten Mix aus Action und Strategie steht, sollte sich Star Control kaufen, ein zusätzlicher Joystick wird empfohlen.
