But then, neither has SC2's, and you have to remember that 2D top-down ship combat was on its last legs in the early 90s. It's just really hard to compete with Star Control 2 in terms of story. (Two great studios of yesteryear.) Some obvious criticisms. They consulted with the original creators, properly licensed the content with their permission, and were done by some veterans of Infocom and Legend Entertainment. You always wish there was another sequel to Star Control 2, one that was made by the actual creators of the series, but you can tell that the authors of this third game were genuine fans of the original content. There's some characters who you'll wish got more screen time, but at least the characters are there. The storylines for the individual aliens are pretty interesting. The voice dialog is really strong, arguably better than Star Control 2. Ship combat is as good as ever, and improves aiming from the previous games. The voice dialog is really A flawed but still enjoyable game.
… ExpandĪ flawed but still enjoyable game. For that - thank you Star Control 3, thank you.
And that's my ideal videogame, one where I just wander around and talk to aliens.
If you just want to go out there and talk to aliens, this game is awesome. It's a shame there aren't more recent options out there and there was never a true sequel, but at least they tried. Star Control II is better, but if you've played it a million times and know the story by heart, Star Control III is the nearest thing available. I've played it through again and again and will always remember it fondly. The ship mechanics and gameplay weren't as good, and the story not as satisfying, but this game had amazing personality. SC3 actually had a lot of great moments, beautifully crafted aliens, and well performed dialog. But it doesn't deserve all these 1 star reviews. It's not Star Control II, arguable one of the very best games ever made.
