Starflight for Genesis


Image: MobyGames

Starflight

FTL before it was cool


Genre: adventure - overhead

Publisher: Electronic Arts

Year: 1991

System: Genesis


Gameplay Score: 1

Gameplay Notes:

Outfit your ship and crew. Travel to a planet. Scan it, log it, land on it, and loot it. Then return to base and sell your loot. Rinse, and repeat. Someone likes this sort of monotony. Not me.


Level Design Score: 2

Level Design Notes:

There's a lot to do here. Actually there's barely anything to do but you can do it in lots of places.


Theme Score: 2

Theme Notes:

You're a nameless, faceless Commander with nameless, faceless crew members. But it has an itneresting hub world where your suited up spaceman moves between doors as a means of menuing. It's a touch of personality anyway.


Art Style Score: 1

Art Style Notes:

Rudimentary. Light-years ahead of something like Star Control, but this is still an archaic looking game.


Audio Score: 2

Audio Notes:


Overall Score: 28

Review ID: 1266
