I was having a LAN party, and we wanted to play a game from every genre. We played Alien vs. Predator Gold, and Serious Sam for our first person shooters, Sacrifice for our Real time strategy game, and Mega Race 3 for our race game. It is fantastic! It is playable over the network by up to 8 people. The ships are neat, and the tracks are very unique. You are also able to shoot at each other during the game.
The other reviewer had problems getting the game to work. Dreamcatcher has a FAQ on their website telling you to unplug the joystick before attempting to type in your name. The problem is the joystick is constantly being polled. The DirectX registers this as input, so it won't accept typing on the keyboard. If you re-calibrate the joystick, you shouldn't have any problems. A great game, real eye candy!
The price makes it even better!

I bought this game 2 days before its release.
That by itself should have rung a bell, but I hadn't researched it. I simply bought it for its cover. Yeah, it has a great cover. Futuristic racing, a shooter, even multiplayer.

One problem it doesn't work.

I have a great pc system all my games work. I looked at the min. system requirements and I had all of them. Ok. So I install it,... Then I get to the game and it wants me to enter my name so I type it and nothing comes up. I press enter then type it, nada. I try everthing, nothing. So I get online and try the patch, ziltch. I e-mail dreamcatcher and they run me through the whole turn off everthing and then try it. So I try it, still, you guessed it, nothing.

Maybe I got a defective game, but I returned it to the gaming store I got it from and I asked the salesman to look into it,...so, you decide.
