About the Game
Set 40 years before the Sci-Fi Channel's 2004 Battlestar Galactica miniseries, the game acts as a prequel to the events in the new series. Players control Captain William Adama as he participates in 15 missions leading up to the end of the First Cylon War. Missions are tightly scripted.
Gameplay & Core Systems
Players control three varieties of Viper fighters, as well as captured Cylon raiders, depending on the needs of the mission. Players also will man the stationary defense turrets on board the Galactica . Players are graded in a variety of areas after each level (including accuracy and keeping wingmen alive), and unlock upgrades and bonus material for high ratings. Players control their craft from either a first- or third-person view. Firing weapons and using afterburners drain energy, and the fighter only repairs itself when the energy level is full.
Standout Features
- Missiles on every craft can also be configured on the fly through an option in the pause menu.
- Pilots can program missiles to have increased power at the cost of speed, or increase maneuverability at the cost of blast radius.
- This system allows players to adapt their missiles to the current needs of the mission, from swatting down formations of fighters to breaking through a capital ship's defenses.
- Though it acts as a prequel to the new series, art and design is pulled from the original 1978 Battlestar Galactica and the intro from the original series is used.
- Players must thus be aware of their energy usage to keep from running out at critical moments.
Presentation & Atmosphere
Audio support includes Custom Soundtracks and Dolby Digital.
