Nowhere near as good as the original – Solar Siege Review

I've been waiting for this for a long time, but this was a huge letdown. First major problem: the camera. It's basically a 2D game enhanced with 3D graphics, but the camera angle is way too low for it to work well, and it doesn't zoom out far enough. It should be a top-down game like the original. Next up is the story. I don't even know if there is one, because the first few missions are like ultra-basic tutorials for all the new stuff and it got boring very fast. I was expecting to jump in and deal with the same bad guys as in the original, armed with superior tech and more firepower, but it looks like you're just fighting pirates. The biggest letdown is the graphics. I appreciate good graphics very much, and what we have here is a cartoonish game with low-poly models. It looks like it was make by a four year old. The guns don't look like guns, the shipyard looks like a barn, and the pirate ships look like paper planes. All this with ugly flat shading, yet it manages to chew through my battery like nothing else. This is pathetic.
