I finally hard-wried my Thrustmaster RCS into my Saitek X-45, and
wanted to test the rig out... Starshatter has captured my interest,
but I am not seeing a lot of reviews on the standard review sites.

IIRC, several people have given some brief opinions on it in this
forum. Can someone post a more detailed review? Things they like,
things they dislike, games it is similar to?

What I am really looking for is a an I-War/I-War 2 or Freespace 2 type
game.

Thanks!

I am currently working on a review for Wargamer.com. Starshatter
contains a dynamic campaign in which the player pilots a fighter in
both planetary and space combat. As you gain in rank you can command
capital ships and task forces if you so desire. I really like the
dynamic campaigns. The graphics aren't cutting edge but are they are
good considering the low system requiremenrts. It is a good space
"shooter" at the lower ranks then blossoms into a more tactics-based
game (ie homeworld-like) when you command capital ships.
