Atari Australia Press Quotes - Windows:
    “Seeing those weapons in action is spectacular, with the metallic effects on ships glinting and reflecting the coloured lights of the weapons.“

    “What is also perfectly clear is the absorbing soundtrack that adds to the experience of the game. We were expecting something with a little more of a techno or rock feel to it, but the ethereal music subtly shifts from trance to new age to classical motifs throughout the mission.”

    ”...there is every reason to think that this could be one of the best space games of the year.“ Daily Radar
