Of Bells and Whistles (May 22, 2000)

Incite's Starlancer review includes some Wing Commander references that are worth mentioning.[*]In my formative years, no game captivated me like Origin's Wing Commander.[*]For all its bells and whistles, StarLancer is a very simple game. Kill bad guys, help the cause, advance in rank, and get cool cut-scenes and accolades. Rinse and repeat. And StarLancer executes this paradigm extremely well, making it the best true space combat game since Wing Commander.[*]Put simply, StarLancer is the 21st century version of Wing Commander. It looks incredible, plays nearly flawlessly, and even has a story that you care aboutI don't fully agree with that last bit. The article talks as much about Wing Commander and Chris Roberts as Starlancer. Check it out here.
