Some of the game's ideas are pretty interesting, however it has one glaring problem, substandard UI and a lack of widescreen resolutions. The graphics are poor but are no where near as bad as the UI. If this game had been released about 10 years ago it would have been a good game, however UI standards and screen resolutions have come a long way since then. Is it to much to ask for a UI to take up MORE then ~10% of your screen to at least be understandable. I couldn't even get past the first mission, I had no clue what was going on. It took me about a day to get past the training missions as they are a joke and the text telling you what to do is hard to read.
I hate to say this but this is one of the worse games I have ever seen, it might get better with patches but it would require a complete redo of the UI and even then they would have to redo the graphics to bring it up to at least homeworld standard.
