Star-Strike

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to man a space ship as it pilots down a dangerous trench and destroy silos, while avoiding alien craft in an attempt to save the Earth from certain destruction.

Given the nature of the game, it's pretty obviously in 3D. But that’s pretty much as exciting as it gets. The ships look pretty cool but everything else sort of got overlooked. The trench just looks like it has houses in it and outside the trench is just boring. The Earth does look nice though. Even though it’s probably going to get blown up.

There is really not much to do here except fly up, down, left and right and hope to hit the targets or the aliens, so the game play is pretty flat. Though, it can be quite exciting at times, those times are fairly few and far between.

There isn’t many sound effects or much music happening here, but if there was, you’d probably turn off the music straight away, because the warning sound when a target is coming up is so annoying you would rather be in silence than to hear it again.

All in all, this game is alright. It’s not fancy but it's not completely without merits, either. It’s just… a game. You can play it or not, it probably won’t make a difference.
