Aces of the Galaxy™

This game is a good old fashioned rail shooter that was decently executed. Its bright and colorful, and fast paced. However this is ZERO support for this game, and if you use dual monitors the game will crash. You will have to disable a monitor to play. I suggest a 360 gamepad to play.

I've had this game in my library for almost 11 years, and it is gem of a game if you like on-rails space sim where the object is to just blast away at enemies in droves.. Serious Sam in space as I like to think about it.. frantic, fun, keeps you coming back for more. Graphics: Great, even despite it's age. Lot's of details here and there make the visuals stand out. They are colorful with wonderful bloom type of effects. Very pleasing to the eyes. Sound: Music is servicable to good. Sound effects are very pleasing to the ears and fit the visuals meticulously and methodically. Gameplay: Frantic, fun - has that I want to try another level or one more time feeling. So it's all gooood! :-) Con: No way to save your progress.. you have to start over each time.. grrr! Overall: Highly recommended. Too bad there is no co-op or pvp, it would have been awesome fighting from one end of the universe to meet each other in the middle.. ahh well..

I cannot recommend this game - it just doesn't work, and the support for it is horrible. I have seen some people who seem to be able to get it to work, and I wish them all the best. For me, it gets to the menu, I cna select a ship, but when I click "Play", it hangs. Music still plays, but no game. Worst of all, I can only kill it remotely, because it completely takes over the desktop - try to CTRL/ALT/DEL and you can't see task manager because the game is in the way. Can't minimize it. Can't ALT/TAB, because the instant you change windows, the game takes back over again. And the support. What support? Steam has nothing in the way of support for this game, so far as I can tell. They say contact Activision. Activision has no reference to this game on their site anywhere, and you can't submit a ticket for anything that's not on the site. There is no generic way to contacxt support except Twitter, and so I am now engaged in a days-long Twitter conversation which has barely gotten past the "have you verified your game cache" stage. It looked fun, but don't risk it. NOT WORTH THE RISK TO BUY.

Fun arcade type space battle game. Main story line doesn't last long, but it has loads of replayability.

I suppose it is an okay game but.. Fun? Yes it actually is and not too difficult either and kind of refreshing. No saves? I do not have a lot of time to play and there´s where the lack of a save option stops me from playing further. Gaming gear used: There was also a problem with my logitech rumblepad, I had to disconnect it to get the game working properly. I had it plugged in for another game but obviously this game does not like that. I used my mouse and keyboard for this game. Recommend: No. If it only had an autosave/save function then I´d would have voted positive surely.

Decent-ish. Difficult to recommend one way or the other. Poor resolution and gamepad support, but the basic gameplay is some fun starfox-like business. It's quite pretty, although the gameplay is not quite as nuanced as its contemporaries (sin and punishment 2?). Still, compared to Yar's Revenge, Aces of the Galaxy is good, and might be the best on-rails shmups on Steam, if that's your fancy.

It could be a good game, but absolutely no other support than "some" keyboard and mouse, AND no remapping possible... Simply put : NO.

A fun, quick and decent Star Fox type on the rails shooter. Arcade style, fast action game play. Cool space visuals with a nice cartoon style. My biggest complaint is the no save system. Once you use up your lives, it's game over. So, it looks like I wont be completing this one. In fact I'm pretty disappointed. The good news is, I got it on sale for a buck. Also, there are no steam achievements.
