Good looking graphics. The only things I found weird while playing the
demo was the strange control setup (something similar to Homeworld 2's
would've been more appropriate) and a couple unimaginative things. I
mean, the evil alien race is called the "Gorgs"? Not very creative. :|
Also the ship designs weren't very interesting, but perhaps the full
game has better ones.
The explosions were definitely the best I've seen in a space sim to
date though, and I like the way ships actually use their side
thrusters to turn.
