Opening Snide Remarks: This was one of those games that was supposed to 
revitalize the 3DO.  It didn't and it summarily made appearances on the 
Playstation, Saturn, and PC.

****************************************************************************

Gameplay Description: Star Fighter is a lame space shooter.  It's a shooter 
but you actually have to fly your ship.  It's not on rails like Starfox 
either.  The only problem with this is that the controls suck.  Your ship 
just doesn't respond well.  You will have all kinds of trouble trying to 
control your ship.  The controls may be reallistic but they just aren't 
comfortable.  You can damage anything and everything, though.  This is a
mission based shooter.  You will receive a mission briefing with your 
objectives.  The controls kill this game, though.   
Liked: Go anywhere gameplay.
Hated: Horrible controls.

****************************************************************************

Graphics Description: Star Fighter has some pretty ugly polygon graphics.  
Everything can be destroyed, though.  The graphics are nothing special. 
Liked: Nothing.
Hated: Blocky polygon graphics.  

****************************************************************************

Sound/Music Description: Star Fighter has quite a few selectable songs that 
you actually can choose which song you want to listen to as you play.  The 
music is some pretty nice techno.  The sound fx are okay.
Liked: Cool music which is actually selectable.
Hated: Nothing.

****************************************************************************

Play Control/Game Design: Star Fighter has the worst controls of any game 
that I own.  The controls just feel wrong.  The ship is always out of 
control.  The game design is okay, but I wish that more time would have been
spent on the controls.  
Liked: Nothing.
Hated: Horrid controls!

****************************************************************************

Improve: Fix the friggin controls!!!!

RIYL: If you like this game then maybe you should play a game that actually
has good controls.

****************************************************************************

Final Words: Star Fighter is a horrible game due to the fact that the 
controls suck.  Stay away from this game!
