Wrap Up
Sintillating?
Well, Sinistar Unleashed, or at least the demo, isn't all that complicated, and hence the short preview. It has only two playable and very similar levels, three extra weapons and three powerups, and that's about it. It isn't likely to please fans of Freespace / Wing Commander, but action junkies looking for a quick deep-space fix may find it's right up their alley. Casual gamers who miss the arcade playing days of their youth (but want to stretch out their 3D accelerators) will be interested. You can see from the screenshots that it's quite a pretty game, with nice colored lighting up the wazoo. Not only that, but multiplayer action for up to 8 players is planned. One word of warning - this game is hardware only. You'll need a Direct 3D or GLide compatible card to go blasting aliens.
