What the hell does this have to do with Wing Commander? Bye the sounds of it, it's simply a 16 player deathmatch type deal. The only thing seeming to keep this from being Generic Space Shooter number 20023 is that the ships bear a slight, slight resemblence to WC designs.
Where's the story? where's blue-hair? Where the bloody hell is the damn cockpit.
What the world really needs is an update of WC 1 & 2. They can keep the origin-al (lame pun sort of intended) art style and just add higher res cockpits & such and they'd sell millions. Oh well.

Argh! Even worse - it's third person!

Commented on 2007-02-27 09:15:25@housewarmer how can you say about this looking like generic space shooter 20023, when there are currently very few space shooters of note from the last 5 years!!! I've been crying out for a multiplayer space fighter for years. The last decent multiplayer space fighting action was X-wing Allience and even that wasn't as good as XvT both of which are now very old games!
