Battlestar Galactica: Season 4.0 - Limited Edition Gift Set (2008) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This collection is at least on par with other Battlestar Galactica season releases. The additional collectibles are a must have for any collector of the series. However I caution anyone purchasing this set from Amazon to be cautious of the pricing. This gift set is currently being sold by another company (I won't say who, but it's initials are BB;)) in their store with no shipping charges for only $39.99. That being said, take a look around locally before ordering this set online. If you can't find it in any local stores (and of course have the available cash) go ahead and purchase this item. It truly is a must have.

Battlestar Galactica (2003 Miniseries) (2003) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)DON'T BUY the mini series DVD if you are also planning on buying the season 1 DVD set. I made that mistake and wasted $$$. The mini series is the first DVD in the Season 1 set.

Forty years after the Cylon Wars, humanity's deadliest enemies have reemerged with a vengeance. In a sudden, devastating nuclear attack, the Cylon robots - who have now taken human form - wipe out billions of people. Only a handful of Colonial forces are left to shepherd the few survivors to safety. Commander William Adama (Edward James Olmos), the highest-ranking military officer left alive, reactivates the Battlestar Galactica to once again face humanity's greatest nemeses.Outnumbered and outarmed, Adama reluctantly concedes that the newly sworn-in President Laura Roslin (Mary McDonnell) is correct - this battle was lost before it had begun. With no choice but to flee, the ragtag fleet of survivors and humanity's only hope set out in search of the mythic 13th Colony of Kobol… a legendary planet known as Earth.

Battlestar Galactica Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This game will frustrate you unless you read the manual.
Once you read the manual you will be able to take advantage of 2 crucial things: multi-target homing missiles; and identifying primary objective targets. Without the latter you will get NOWHERE in the game.
Pros:
- Fans will appreciate the art work that can be unlocked in the game- including Ralph Mc Quarrie paintings.
- You get to check-off one of your childhood todos- ie fly a Viper. You get to fly from within the cockpit of the viper as well as cylon marauder. If you press and hold the Y button while in this view, your viewpoint turns slightly as if you are turning your head- so you can see to the left and right of your cockit.
- Cutscenes are pretty cool - but unfornately are very grainy.
- Game is more enjoyable when you have read the manual and are better able to control the Viper's systems.
- Your weapons automatically aim at a target to a limited degree- this gives it the same feel as in the original series. I think more space-sims should do this.
- Sound effects of laser cannons and turbo are from the original series.
- Game soundtrack is an updated version of the score from the original series.
Cons:
- The game is hard and there are no cheats. You have to do things pretty quickly or you will miss your opportunity.
- Expect to have to sit thru the first mission at least twice to get through it. First time to get used to the controls. Second time to fully grok the controls from what you've read in the manual. And maybe one more time to really win the mission.
- Game sequences between saves are long so if you die you have to start all over.
- Cutscenes are grainy.
This game is not worth paying full price, but now that it has hit the bargain bins, I think it is well worth it. Come on, you get to finally check off that "fly a viper" item in your geek-childhood-todo-list. You know the one I'm talking about, the one right below: "Fly down the trench and destroy the Death Star"
