This game is getting old now, I have to speak for the game because I bought it twice, once back in the day when it came out and again in 2004 for a lack of a good space shooter on the PS2. To this day the graphics hold up well and the gameplay factor is what brings you back for more. Missions range from escort to defend the base to take out the enemy base or fighters. The gameplay is hard, I mean really hard. (for easy play pick up colony wars 3). The missions are setup in fork fashion, loose a mission it changes the outcome, and completion path of the game. If you liked tie fighter or x-wing games from back in the day and you arn't to spoiled with modern graphics give this game a try.

Colony Wars Vengeance takes off where Colony Wars left off. The most likely ending in Colony Wars has the good guys sealing off the Earth system. Vengeance has you joining up the other side to get revenge against the ones who sealed you up. The controls are familiar to the Colony Wars controls and the weapons have been expanded with the ability to customize your ship by adding more power to shields, weapons, and handling. However, the game just doesn't have the same magic as the first game. The difficulty level, extreme in Colony Wars has become rather murderous now which sometimes distracts from the idea that this is supposed to be a fun game. This wouldn't be too bad, but it begins getting old after the 5th or 6th or 81st time on a mission with barely any improvement or progression. If you like beautiful graphics, great star fighter puzzles, and combat (learn to use a tractor beam to tow debris into a black hole-which may suck you in too if you get too close), then this is a great game. BUT don't let it get to you personally because you'll most likely want to throw your controller across the room in frustration after a few missions.

This game pushes the playstation to its limits with outstanding graphics and amazing cut-scenes that help develop the storylone. The soundtrack can be heard in dolby surround sound and each mission has a complete audio briefing and debriefing. This is a must have for any PSX owner who enjoys sci-fi or sim-style gameplay.

CWV is the best cw game in its trilogy-sans the difficulty level!Unfortunately,my ps2 console no longer reads this game disc-which is'nt surprizing considering when it did load up-it sounded as if it was rippin my console assunder.Does anyone else have this problem?

Not as much fun as the original, and the story was not as engaging, but the gameplay was incredibly challenging (almost too hard). Good graphics and a respectable plot. Overall, a great game and it really pushes the limits of what the ps One is capable of.

This game is awesome, a great sequel and a classic PS one game. I recommend this game to all fans of videogames.

This game has it all! A great storyline, fairly smooth graphics, and amazing sound, it's all here. The game is well presented and well worth the price.

This game is really neat. If you like shootem up games, this is the one. At times it is hard but isn't that what a game is supose to be? This game has action all the time. The controls are fairly easy and the ship functions like a plane does. I hope this helped.

This game is very great.However,the money that the Navy and League have is very strange.For example,look at the League,they have so many ships,a supergun,a couple of sentinels,a communications rig,a bunch of battleships,and thousand of little ships! The Navy have a supergun,few battleships,few small fighters,and the battleships need to be protected from little League Fighters! Why couldn't they have spent more money,or worked harder on the ships than what they did on it! The League must be rich! Other than this,the game is very good.
