If you'd leave only one choice to play either Mass Effect or SWFM, I'd choose Future Magic anytime. Mass Effect looks nice and has great acting but that's basically it. Future Magic is so much more well designed as a RPG. Future Magic and it's unofficial sequel Hard Nova are two of my most-influential games ever. em, you bet they know (and probably played) Future Magic.

I hope Sentinel Worlds would get similar re-make as Star Control II (The Urguan Masters).

It's a shame there's almost only fantasy RPG stuff released today! Maybe SWKOTOR could be taken as an exception but IMHO SWKOTOR is very strict and limited when it comes to the level of freedom of what you can do in the virtual world (while it's presentation sure is great). There should be 3D RPG's with a theme similar like Hard Nova/SWFM! uk_john, I pretty well hear ya! It’s a shame there’s almost only fantasy RPG stuff released today!

Why can't we get this level of immersion, NPC's, storyline and fun in modern games? Surely you could even use this engine with a nice 3D front end and have a better game than the modern shallow 3D games? (well, that's if you will ever get a sci-fi rpg ever agin on the PC! They don't seem to be released anymore. Sci-Fi seems strictly for the FPS genre now!) :( I love this and Hard Nova! Why can’t we get this level of immersion, NPC’s, storyline and fun in modern games?

Together with Hard Nova they were some of the best space roleplaying games in time! It's always amazing again to see how much story and atmosphere were brought into such one or two floppy disk big games. Thanks for the great review! I loved this game!
