Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
85 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Dialogue is good for the main story line, but can get quite repetitive later in the game, particularly when you jump into a system or leave the trade station.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
78 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Audio is really good and best of all it doesn't stand out and overpower the actual gameplay like some games do.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
63 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There were a few teething issues (Which I'll discuss below) but overall, so far (about 5 hours in) its a solid, enjoyable space combat/trading/missions game that will not disappoint fans of Elite/Freelancer etc.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
54 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are really nice (even more considering it's from 2006), the different designs enjoyable.
