Countries from around the world, including the United States, China, Russia, and Great Britain have formed strategic alliances and are now battling for control of Earth, Mars, and other planets across the solar system.

As part of a newly formed ragtag aviation unit, the 45th Volunteers Squadron, players must prove themselves and earn the respect of their peers. Full Specifications. What's new in version 1. Release December 5, Besides that, though, Starlancer is a quality port. All the frantic dogfighting action translates well with high-quality graphics and cinematic music. Huge ships and a multitude of enemy fighters will fill your view with hostile fire and missile after missile.

It's really intense. If you were into WC, you'll be into this. The best part, though, is the multiplayer game. Getting a group of eight people all within the same space, either on teams or in a free-for-all. And every time we tried the online play it was lag-free. As a single-player game, though, this is just above-average. Mission after mission of space combat is fine on a PC, where you have a keyboard and flight stick available to you, but on a console it won't keep any but the hardcore fans excited for long the DC keyboard is for chat only.

Starlancer is still a solid game and a great online experience, but not spectacular. This game brought back good oP memories from the Wing Commander series, right down to the "kill" score board that I always checked after each mission. There's absolutely nothing in StarLancer that hasn't been done before in PC space games, but that doesn't matter since very few have made it to a console system.

The graphics are fantastic and the atmosphere of the game sucks you in. What's most impressive are the intuitive controls that use various heads-up displays to make up for the lack of a keyboard.

Crave really made this PC port one that Dreamcast owners will want to look forward to. From the minds who brought you the Wing Commander series on PC, StarLancer is a different kind of console space-combat game. Much of its story unfolds within the missions rather than during FMV cinemas, and wingmen play a more important role. The game is nice to look at, with its detailed textures and flashy effects wait 'til you see a capital ship's shields ripple under your blasts.

Missions are well-designed you'll go against a massive asteroid fortress, for instance , but some of the more chaotic sorties get confusing. Fortunately, StarLancer lets you continue to the next mission if you flub a few objectives. Control takes getting used to. The solar system erupts in war! Eastern Coalition forces, led by the devious Admiral Kulov, have launched a surprise attack on the Western Alliance.

You are a member of the 45th Volunteer Squadron, a newly formed flight unit, ready to take on the Coalition and win this war! The Western Alliance, comprised of the US, Britain, and other democratic countries, seek to end hostilities with the outer colonies represented by the Eastern Coalition. Treacherous to no end, the Eastern Coalition uses these peace talks to stage an ambush that destroys the French and Italian space fleets.

The Alliance reels, retreating to safety around Neptune. Licking its wounds, the Alliance puts out a general call for pilots to form the 45th Volunteers, one of many new squadrons forming to fight in the conflict. Quickly, the inner planets are overwhelmed by the Coalition presence and massive ground wars erupt. With hope nearly lost and the fleet in disarray, the 45th Volunteers enter the conflict, fresh and ready for battle. Let's pretend that I don't know anything about computers.

I am running windows What do I need to do to get this game running. I downloaded it and then extracted the files. Now what is next since clicking on it asks me what program to open it with. Thanks for the help. JonJonz -4 points. Follow up, I have 3 gamepade set up programs I use, Xpadder, Pinnacle, and Logitech that came with the controller. Xpadder and Pinnacle usually work with most games and I prefer thier interfaces.

Since they failed with this game, I tried the Logitech program and it worked like a charm. JonJonz 0 point. I have the game running fine in Win10 and fullscreen, however there are issues with trying to use a game controller. The joystick part works fine, but the buttons don't work, or give different results from what the on screen input configuration menu show.

I did find a reference in the included doc file that says there might be problems with multiple USB devices connected. I use a lap top so I have USB mouse, gamepad, external drive and external sound card. Anyone else seen this issue or found a solution.

Non essential parts of the game have been removed. Get the ISO version. Any solutions I have already tried using compatibility mode.
