The game's story is generally considered linear and simplistic, with many players noting that it lacks depth and fails to explore intriguing plot points, leading to an unsatisfying conclusion. While the voice acting is often described as amusing and the missions provide some variety, the overall narrative is seen as derivative and unfulfilling, with a lack of character development and abrupt endings. Despite these shortcomings, some players find the gameplay enjoyable enough to compensate for the story's weaknesses.
- “The story is interesting.”
- “Finished the game and the story does take you to new places.”
- “Devs really outdid themselves; for the time it was released, it's awesome. It has a great story, exceptional voice acting, and stunning graphics.”
- “The story is pretty linear and ends abruptly, but the gameplay holds it up.”
- “There's no Oscar-winning backstory - you're a corporate spacefighter pilot.”
- “But the plot is pretty simplistic (human factions are fighting each other, a couple alien races show up and you ultimately have to destroy a huge station/space ship), there are no characters, and the bare bones upgrade system almost may as well not have been included.”

The graphics of the game are generally well-received, with many reviewers noting that they hold up surprisingly well for a title released in 2004, featuring attractive skyboxes and decent visuals. While some acknowledge the dated nature and lack of modern resolution support, others appreciate the game's ability to run smoothly on older hardware. Overall, the graphics are considered above average for their time, contributing positively to the game's experience despite some limitations.
- “Probably the most outstanding aspect are the graphics: still looks good for something released in 2004, with gorgeous sky boxes, backgrounds and that special 'I'm in space!' feeling.”
- “Honestly, quite a hidden gem as for an older game the graphics have held up quite nicely and framerate is amazing (on my 2013 laptop with 6GB RAM and integrated graphics I got >200fps), and the game mechanics are entertaining.”
- “Devs really outdid themselves; for the time it was released, it's awesome. It has a great story, exceptional voice acting, and stunning graphics.”
- “The graphics aren't breathtaking, but they're pretty good.”
- “Graphics are above average, but being that old, it lacks widescreen support, and ultimately the UI will be stretched if you hacked it.”
- “I won't complain about any other of the sub-par features (graphics, physics, mesh rendering) as it is an older game; however, if you care about that sort of thing, then this isn't for you.”

- “Gameplay is shallow.”

The game offers moderate replayability primarily due to its multiplayer mode and numerous maps, allowing for varied gameplay experiences.

- “The ship-upgrade system gives it some replay value.”
- “Although a little short, the game offers replayability through its ship-upgrade system.”
- “You get to upgrade your ship as time passes, but that's the only customization there is; minimal replay value due to exactly one campaign and no modding.”
