I played and stopped. It was very nostalgic and nice, but I couldn't get past a certain mission and skipping didn't work; it's supposed to, though.

I might touch this game again, after it's patched, so skipping missions works properly. It's a very hard game with some great moments. Overall a fantastic achievement, but story and acting didn't exactly thrill or surprise me. Gameplay did.

Lol okay - the patch was released now! That's quick acting on the side of the team. Back to space then :)

I don't like any of the missions with capship rockets. It would be rad if, you could chose your role as attack pilot or defender. Then I could enjoy these missions without having to skip them.
