Are Starlancer and Freelancer out yet?
- Thread starter Sonic98
- Start date
hehe.. thank god for Lancer Games.. http://www.blance.com
I managed to get a copy of it =)
check out J.Wilkinson's Allegiance Review
to understand what I say next..
though still working on the review. however it is definitely worth it, though I would rather see online groups play Allegiance than STarlancer since Allegiance has more of a RPG based area.

No, Starlancer's release date is 28th April in USA and UK. Don't know about other countries. Freelancer is scheduled for release early 2001.
If anyone tells you they have Starlancer already, they probably have a preview copy. Microsoft sent out hundreds of them last month.

Interesting to note that in this month's issue of STUFF Magasine, they reviewed Starlancer, as the game of the month...
it got ***** out of 5...
here it is:
"Deep space combat pilot...yadda, yadda...flying through asteroid belts...yadda, yadda...triggering amazing explosions...yadda, yadda. We need another deep-space combat game like we need another quiz show offering a gazillion dollars. So what makes the mighty Microsoft think Starlancer won't just float out there into the inky blackness of anonymity? Two things. First it's produced by space-game geniuses Chris and Erin Roberts (the guys who made the groundbreaking WING COMMANDER), and second, it rocks--big time.
Like an arcade version of Selma Hayek, everything Starlancer does, it does with voluptuous style. The graphics can be best described with girlie adjectives like sumptuous, dreamy and to-die-for. The Story unfolds cleverly and mutates depending on how you preform. But it's neither the graphic bells-and-whitles nor the depth of plot that will hook you. It's the viciously fast, dogfighting space action. Controls are heavy on the joystick and light on the keyboard, so you don't have to be a concert pianist to go on a rampage. The ships are insanely fast and responsive, and come loaded to the gills with bundles of weird weaponry. So strap your eyeballs dows, dust off your trigger finger and prepare to save the universe...again."
Happy?
It also has the add on for ALLEGIANCE:
"This on line companion for STARLANCER will be responsible for more lost man-hours in corperate America than back pain and bad Chinese food."

Well, that's not realy surprising. AFAIK all SL reviews have been positive, even I gave it 4 stars.
