If I wasn't so strict about not labeling anything best of this or best of that I might have given this game the 'Best Space Simulator to Date' title on my part. But since I'm not like that then I won't. No, I won't....*clipping my fingernails*.... Ok. IT'S THE BEST SPACE SIMULATOR TO DATE!!!
I only played about half of it and I can't get enough. I haven't finished the Bora side of the game yet but from my experience with GalSpan I can say it's great.
Did you play FreeSpace? Descent: FreeSpace? Conflict: FreeSpace - The Great War? Take that. Add some cool new features. Much better graphics. A different 'This time I'm taking care of myself' setting and put Bruce Campbell (He's just too good) playing the lead character and you got Tachyon.
It has, action, drama, betrayal, side switching, twilight fog, scary scenes and Bruce adding the clever humorous remarks we love him for.
It may be only out for a few weeks (6/6/2k) but it's already loved by many. And I'm sure it will sell a few hundred thousands by next year. I recommended it to everyone I know and I recommend it to anyone who reads it.
See you on the NovaWorld arena.
