Pros: Decent graphics Multiple play modes Relatively stable cons: Translation incomplete (com chatter in Russian ?) very quirky controls lack of proper tutorial voice over/lipsync horrendous graphics show degradation with play time Overall this game is more frustration than fun. Seemed to have so much promise though.

Have been reading a lot of negative reviews about Tomorrow War. Despite this fact, decided to give it a try anyway. Very glad I did for the simple reason that the developers seem to have made the game very easy to modify to your hearts content. For example, many have been complaining that they cannot explore as much as they would like to be able. However, with a simple modification to the first mission file I was able to make the game were I could explore with seemingly no bad consequences. As a result, I was able to play the mission in an entirely different way. At one point I was able to leave the rings of Saturn and fly all the way to the neighboring moon Titan, fly through it's atmosphere, land on its surface right next to a lake, after exploring the surrounding area at my leisure. If I could leave screenshots on Gamersgate, I would show a couple. Have not finished the first mission because I have been so busy trying to modify the game. All I have to say at this point is, do not know how the rest of the game is going to play. But if it can be modified this easily to make it the way I like to play, I am glad I purchased it. The graphics are very good. And it appears that if you do not like them you can also modify the graphics because a lot of them seem to be made up of .tga files. So all you modders out there. Get the game and modify it to your heart's content. And lets make it the way we want it to be. You can orbit planets, you can explore the surface, you can enter and leave the atmosphere. By the way, the simple fix to the first mission file that made this possible: Comment out all the references to the game ending in the if statements. Also, for testing purposes, in the gold.ini file, give yourself alot of armour, change it from 6 or whatever it is, to 600000000000000 or whatever you want. Six was the number given under difficulty setting of easy.

Something Ive been wishing space sims would do more of, and thats the ability to land on various planets. This just adds soo much to a game thats already a great space simulation. Im eagerly awaiting to see what IC does next with this engine, this certainly in my opinion runs in the right direction for space sims. Its the one missing ingredient that I think separates a good game and great game.
