Star Wolves 2
Six years have passed after the events of 2226 A.D. The balance in the galaxy has been restored as transgalactic corporations have been deported to the outskirts of the galaxy and deprived of their power.
The Empire, just as before, continues to fight against the Aliens. As a rule armadas of battleships aren’t used in such conflicts. Small maneuverable squadrons that can attack and retreat quickly are better suited for this type of war. This means that the famous Star Wolves team is back in action!
Star Wolves is a 3D space RPG with deep strategy and tactical elements. The game thrusts players into a world of freelance space hunters during a time of war for the all-powerful Empire. Human space pirates, rogue AI computers that rebelled against humanity and Aliens roam space in search of easy prey and planets to conquer.

The story is quite weak, and rather forgetable. Where this game shines is in the gameplay.
Did I mention the voice acting is terrible? The voice acting is TERRIBLE.
An example of the awful voice acting:
Despite the games short comings (weak story, terrible voice acting) I would give this a definite try if you're into space shooters, and the price is low enough.

When I first started playing this game I couldnt get past the voice acting. Then as the depth of the game developed I slowly slowly learned to actually like it. I have to say that this is one of the most graphically stunning games I have gotten off of steam. It would be extremly nice if there were more games that catered to low system specs. I personally have been drooling over eve online for ages. But it is just out of reach for my system. From what I know of that game this game has allot to offer. The skill system in particular was very very interesting. Each character had certain abilitys the could trigger in combat. However these abilitys have a timer attached and can only be used so many times per mission. Anyway I have rambled on long enough, ohh and the ending wasn't as bad as some reviewers would have you believe. Granted it wasn't a 20 minute long cut scene or anything, but it did provide a measure of closure.

The second game in this series that I enjoy so much is in a weird spot for me. Although definitely the most underwhelming entry in the series it did have some of my favourite features. I have completed 2 playthroughs at the time of this review
Pros:
- The combat system is exactly the same as before and still feels satisfying
- Your mothership gets pilots. With no sacrifices.
- 10+ hours for single playthrough
- More replay value then the first game, but still limited
- Graphics aged really well all things considered
- Goes for dirt cheap on sale
- Has some of my favourite ships in the series
- The unique to this game race is actually pretty cool
- Has the funniest mission in the entire series
Cons:
- Bugs. More quite a few are game breaking and will require a reload. Not as rare as the other games.
- The voice acting somehow got worse
- Very easy compared to the other 2 games
- The random missions are really boring and tedious
- Mercs are useless
- Linear upgrade path for equipment
- In engine cutscenes
- Space still feels empty
Overall:
Pick it up on sale for the same reason as the other 2, but if you only getting 1 of them then rather get SW3

Yes, Yes, Yes, I love this game because its just the kind of game that suits me to the ground. I love the music, the way it looks is awesome, but the whole game could do with a good polishing up, some of the skills don't seem to work, it crashes out, and the whole pathfinding for the main ship is in need of a rework( like when u tell the ship to go to the warp gate from the store the ship will just fly in to the store ). but all-in-all i love this game its fun to play.

A quite good Sequel despite his harsh start (fighting Aliens in the second Main mission! WTF?) and a quite empty and lifeless Universe. Oh, and voiceacting is awful. But if you are patient and frust resistant enough, the Game rewards you with great and challenging, sometimes brutal Battles ( at least in the Main missions).

If you don't speak Russian feel free to skip this title as it has absolutely abhorrent voice acting with absolutely no emotion and no emphasis of punctuation.
It is
just
read line
by
line and is
absolutely
terrible.
Furthermore the Russian campaign contains significantly more voice files that simply don't exist in the English localization.
Lastly, when I played this game vanilla, I was unable to unpause the game with spacebar. However after applying the Russian patch that was fixed. It seems that the Russian version had a patch the Enligsh one did not receive.
With all of that considered I suggest English speakers skip this title and play #1 and #3.

A quick word about this game, there are bugs, it did not get completely finished. The voice acting is terrible. The story isnt brilliant. Know what you are getting into before you buy. You will need multiple save files, and to save at each stage of a mission in a new file.
However, the gameplay is good and fun. I have played Sw 1 and 3. Therefore i know roughly what is going on. If you are presistent, and enjoy this type of game it is worth your time, knowing the above.
