bit-tech Review

"I’ve been reading the latest of Kieron Gillen’s manifestoes lately and one of the ideas he presents which struck me most of all is that games critics should be more open to ranking reviews based on the emotion they summon in them. It’s something I can see the merit in, especially after my previous attempts to divert attention to gaming’s underdogs.

So, if I was going to attach an emotion to Space Siege then it would be thus; m’eh.

It isn’t that the game is really bad or anything since the basic mechanics all work and if you’re really into singleplayer grindfests then this will be a treat for sure. The issue is though that the game is utterly unremarkable and unable to stand out in literally anyway.

What action there is require almost no player involvement and carries almost no penalties, which the developers have used as an excuse to stack the odds against you, something makes the game less exciting and just more tedious. It isn’t broken, but it still needs fixing." - 22nd August 2008
