Anyone else play this game? I really enjoyed it, it's basically an Elite clone and probably the only game of that type available for current consoles. Of course it's far from perfect - horrible dialogue, stilted animations, graphics aren't anything to write home about (it's a port from 4 year old PC game anyway) and the gameplay does get repetitive after a while. But all the right elements are there. You can trade, smuggle, rob freighters and best of all, upgrade your ship with a wide variety of new weapons and equipment - the ship even reflects each upgrade visually. I found it to be pretty addictive and it might be the first game where I can finally get 1000G, the achievements aren't that difficult.

No, I'd never even heard of this title, but I love this type of game. Now if we could just get a port of privateer...

I had NO idea Darkstar One got ported to the 360!! Huh. I'm gonna have to hunt that down....

Edit: It appears it may be a US ONLY release....not listed on any Cdn sites :(

Well, it was certainly released in Europe as well. Maybe it's region free anyway?

I've spotted it at GameStop, if that's any help.
