sci-fi

I'm considering a purchase of a used copy of the game after renting it. The gameplay is fast and fun and the difficulty can be tough in the beginning until you get used to the controls and what weapons work well for your particular style. The missions are varied early on but can feel repetitive later on in the game. My biggest issue with the game is that for a game called "SeaBlade" there isn't much to do underwater. I was expecting more of a balance between the aerial sections and the underwater sections. The maps also feel a little confined after playing them over the course of a few missions. I also found that there really isn't much of a need to try to the different types of ships. The base ship can do everything you need it to even though you may have to make multiple trips to pick up cargo with the limit of passenger capacity. Needing to carry large numbers of passengers at once never got to be a big issue for me and the larger ships seem much too cumbersome in flight to make them worthwhile choices.

Also, there doesn't seem to be much use of the cast of characters in the game. They seem to be there just for background info only. Maybe I didn't get far enough into the game (I made it to Mission 10 out of 40 in the campaign.) to see them.

All-in-all, enjoyed my time with this flight-shooter, but felt a little more polish could have really put it over the top.

I just bought this game a few days ago and have to say that it's one of the most fun shooters I have played in a long time. Great graphics, tight controls, and lots & lots of action. The difficulty is a little hard, so you might want to start on the "easy" level until you get used to it. But I highly recommend Seablade to anyone who loves arcade shooters!
