This review is from: STAR SHATTER: THE GATHERING STORM (WIN 98,ME,2000,XP) (CD-ROM)

I cant beleive so many people dont know about this game.
Great space combat, no rpg, no rts, no economy,...just combat.
Like capital ship/fleet combat? ....check.
Like straight fighter dogfighting instead? ....check.
Your choice!
You can even be squadron commander of your fighter group.

Great campaign, or design your own single missions. (very detailed)
Theres even a few missions where your take off from ground bases on planets for some aerial missions.

And you can mod it,a great.. but small community over at starshattermods.
They have a downloads section for mods that include = star wars, B5, BSG/old and new, star trek and more.

Joystick compatability seems to work. I'm using a X52 and it works fine.
Newtonian flight model, other modles availible for ease of use.... very tweakable game. I'm playing the BSG mods and having a blast!
Has time compression.Lots of replay value here!!
Still not convinced? Just google the title and read for your self,
definatley worth the money.
