Not worth the money that I paid for it. Star Control 3
doesn't even come close to the story of Star Control 2.
The story is the main part! I think that there are
three things that they really messed up. First of all,
this thing about the Warp Bubble transort is stupid.
One of the neatest things in Star Control 2 is that the
fights were random, in Hyperspace. In this sequel, all
the fights that you fight are staged. Scondly, the
music is stupid. The MOD music in Star Control 2 was
full of effects and neat thingies that really set the
stage for each race. In this game, though, the music is
MIDI, is depressing, and is so quiet that it doesn't do
much to help the game at all. The third thing that
Accolade messed up on in Star Control 3 is that they
answered all the mysteries posed in Star Control 2.
These things made you really think. In Star Control 3,
it felt good to finally know what some things from SC2
meant, but after that, it wasn't as fun. All the
mystery was gone, and no mysteries popped up in the
storyline this time. Save your money.
