Flawless! Mega Replay Value! No Cheats Necessary!

The Good
I am probably the biggest fan of Colony Wars: Vengeance.

I've completely beaten this game without cheats. There's absolutely no need for them if you know what you're doing.

I don't consider this game an "improvement" over Colony Wars I or Colony Wars III.

I've discovered two entertaining "game glitches" that are difficult to pull off but "break" the game! You have to have already won the game and gone back with your highly powered vehicle armed with its superpowerful Alien Torpedos, but these "glitches" are successfully replicable.

1) In the "Scout Asteroid Field" board, there's a enemy boss called the "Widowmaker" which is a skilled ship that escapes through an exit once you beat him up to a certain point. But if you manage to target him with your Alien Torpedos, you can occasionally blow him up before he can escape through the exit. Should you succeed, you simply float in space endlessly and the game will not proceed any further!

2) In the "Sentencing" board, you are supposed to kill an opponent named "Becks" after she flies out of a hangar. But if you destroy the hangar before "Becks" flies out, the game breaks. Wave after wave of auxiliary enemy fighters are sent after you until they're utterly defeated. After you've beaten them all, you simply float in space because the game will not proceed!

The Bad
I wish that the Colony Wars Series had a customizeable control panel.

It's not easy to go back and forth between the Colony Wars because of the different control configurations.

The Bottom Line
Flawless space flight simulator with total replay value!
