This game has it all! A great storyline, fairly smooth graphics, and amazing sound, it's all here. The game is well presented and well worth the price.

the ABSOLUTELY INSANE DIFFICULTY basically ruined the game

This game would have been very good...IF the people who thought up the difficulty settings for this game were not complete lunatics (which they obviously were).

Really, after about an hour of play, you will probably toss the game back in its box in disgust and never play it again, all because the difficulty is so outrageous. Its sad really. The first Colony Wars game was pretty good. Speaking of the first Colony Wars game, I wonder; why did they take the stats out of Colony Wars: Vengeance? Players of the first one will remember all the interesting statistics on the planets and ships in the Colony Wars universe that could be accessed as an interesting side option. Colony Wars: Vengeance has completely done away with this great feature of its predicessor.

The one thing that had great potential to add variety was not used anywhere near as well as it should have been. I am speaking of course about the planet-based missions. There aren't enough of them, the terrain is all bland and looks the same, and, like the rest of the levels: they are TOO DIFFICULT!

The story and plot are better in this one, but not good enough to erase the other problems.

The ONLY way to have any real fun in this game is to use cheat codes. If you are willing to do this (some people aren't),then this game is good for a rental, or if someone gives it to you as a gift, then its good to keep. But buy it unless you find it for 6 dollars or less.

indeed

Colony Wars: Vengeance - Circa 1997

GOOD:
- Different and interesting story
- Some nice ships to unlock
- Unique gameplay physic that makes you feel really in space

BAD:
- Graphics may looked dated, to today video game players
- Controls can be tough
- Learning curve is high

IF IT FITS YOUR TASTE:
- Unique gameplay physic gives some gamers really bad motion sickness
- Multiple endings, and story outcomes
- Game may be to tough for some

GAME ITS MOST ASSOCATED TOO:
- Colony Wars
- Descent

ADDITIONAL NOTES:
- In this game your play as the bad guys from the original Colony Wars (Earth's army)

Worthy sequel

Not as much fun as the original, and the story was not as engaging, but the gameplay was incredibly challenging (almost too hard). Good graphics and a respectable plot. Overall, a great game and it really pushes the limits of what the ps One is capable of.

This game is very great.However,the money that the Navy and League have is very strange.For example,look at the League,they have so many ships,a supergun,a couple of sentinels,a communications rig,a bunch of battleships,and thousand of little ships! The Navy have a supergun,few battleships,few small fighters,and the battleships need to be protected from little League Fighters! Why couldn't they have spent more money,or worked harder on the ships than what they did on it! The League must be rich! Other than this,the game is very good.

Buy This!!!!

This game is really neat. If you like shootem up games, this is the one. At times it is hard but isn't that what a game is supose to be? This game has action all the time. The controls are fairly easy and the ship functions like a plane does. I hope this helped.

This is great!

This game pushes the playstation to its limits with outstanding graphics and amazing cut-scenes that help develop the storylone. The soundtrack can be heard in dolby surround sound and each mission has a complete audio briefing and debriefing. This is a must have for any PSX owner who enjoys sci-fi or sim-style gameplay.

Part Two of the Trilogy

This game is as stunning as the original, minus the second disc here, I was mildly disappointed when I found out it was a single disc...Oh well, the game rocks!!! Great graphics,great story,and cool looking ships...however the only problem here is how you GAIN ships, it takes awhile to get a faster ship...why cant companies stick to the original formula that make the original games the best??

Still a Great Game!
