My god this game is so good. I was a little skeptical to begin with but after getting used to the controls and finding a few ships parts, i have to give it the thumbs up. After RTS usually meaning command and conquer this makes a refreshing change.

Sometimes it is safer to rent a game that way if its crap then you can take it back to the shop ;0)

Is it a rent game then?

Sorry...

Should I rent it instead of buying it because I have just spent £318 on a Gamecube and all the gear for it and I'm not in a spending mood!

It's fantastic in ALMOST every way.

I don't like how it rushes you ever so slightly with the time limit.
Also, it's far too short and easy.

I've had it for less than 2 days but I've found 22 Spaceship parts in 17 days. (I did use Dringo's "Practice Day" technique to plan out my moves).

I've not even played it constantly either.

Yes but I`m not going to bother cancelling my order with SR now. I was told friday that they didnt have much of a backlog left. In Woolworths it was £200 for cube memory card and rogue leader.
