This Is Very Science Fiction, January 31, 2005
= Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars
This review is from: DarkLight Conflict (Video Game)
"Darklight Conflict" is one of the most intriguing videogames I've ever seen. This game reflects on the premise of sci-fi pulp film "This Island Earth" and "The Outer Limits" original episodes. This game represents science fiction from the pulp and is not to be sneered at, unlike that copycat "Colony Wars" which simply hasn't a shred of originality in it. "Darklight Conflict" uses no frills in making its point and there is a keen payoff to those who use the game. I'm happy to make my opinion for this game, because one ought to be reminded of the difference between originality and cliche'. Years ago, magazines were asking for better videogame ideas and, if movies can be taken seriously, why not videogames? This game definitely not only suggests a point, but is replete with originality in the genre. Fun and appreciation are not two different things to me. The plot matter and script of this game still stands way above most game plots used up to the moment I write this, 2005. Why aren't other sci-fi games more like this one?
