I'm neither as generous & forgving as my american peer, nor as desperately bitter as my british peer, but as this is the only game of it's kind on the vita (indeed, it's almost completely alone on consoles in general), i'm comfortable going so far as to call Starlight "functional". Not glowing, i admit, but if u gotta have it, u gotta have it. Sometimes it's okay to settle. I guess... Frankly, i'm a little surprised this game has absolutely no competition. A deep space sandbox seems very well suited to the Vita. Given the available niche in Space-Simcade gaming across the console map, it's safe to say that most every single space-geek in 'verse would snap up a decent modern version of Wing Commander. I surely would. Hell, even knowing how overly ambitious Starlight is, i couldn't help myself. There's just something about deep space and alien worlds. Well, if yer reading this, i'm sure you can relate. And tangentially, there's a fairly hardcore new game that fits the bill on the XB1. If u go in with your eyes open and your expectations elsewhere, there **** to be had here. or time to be spent, at the very least. Speaking of the old guard, if u don't care about graphics (or suspension of disbelief or controls or plot, &c.), you can always just DL an ancient console version of Wing commander for the vita. It's not hateful, it just hasn't aged as well as the very impressive stable of PS1 RPGs. It's a little...mode seven is all.

absolute rubbish,i cant believe in this day and age a game like this can be made.i wish id given the £13.00 to a tramp or **** can companies get away with selling us this garbage.playstation need to vet there games better.last time i played a game this bad was on a **** finishing the game before putting it on sale,god i wish i could swear on this.normaly love flight sims,but if this is a sign of things to come then they can shove it in there black hole,"good game" dont make me **** only spoiler this cotains is "congratulations youve just wasted your time and money".would rather have eye surgery than have to look at that game **** have been warned.

Alright, so. This game isn't perfect, far from it. When I compare it with other Vita games, it's a little bit ugly. The character modelization, especially. That being said, characters aren't exactly the point, here, are there? No, the point is to have a space combat game on the Vita. And on that point, Starlight Inception delivers. I get to take my fighter out in space, battle other fighters in space, win some XP and use it to buy a better craft. And, since I didn't really want anything else out of this game, I'm quite happy with it. Sure, the horizon line is awfully close. Sure, the physics in an atmosphere seem to be same as in space, and that's a glaring violation of the laws of physics. That's why it doesn't get a ten. Still, I didn't have that much space-fun since Wing Commander.
