Starcontrol3 sucked, plain and simple. The plot was
contrived and lacked the desperate, suspenseful, URGENT
feeling that Starcon2 had. Few of the new races were
developed enough in the story, and all the ships were
too powerful. The Warp Bubble Transport was
disappointing -I miss Hyperspace and its brassy,
adveturous music. That was another thing - the music.
In Starcon2, the music reflected each race's
personality, and was enjoyable. The Starcon3 music was
just random background music. The End Sequence was one
of the worst I have ever seen.The one thing I did like
was the ability to create colonies - but even this could
use a lot more development. It was also cool that you
got to finally figure out what happened to the
Precursors, but it explained too much. I especially
disliked the "freeing" of the Mycon deep children - I
liked them better as their distant, myserious old
selves. I could go on and on, but I think you get the
picture....Save your money, kiddies.
