    Zero G combat is a fun mechanic, its just seriously lacking in variety.

    I don't think 4 levels is *Really* going to change that, but its a free DLC addon all the same. I would have much preferred to see a couple weapons in the mix, aside from the only dual-purpose rifle currently in the game, and 2 grenades.

    Mine keeps crashing with this:
    "Application Crash: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION
    shattered_horizon.exe build: 14"

    Only 8.3 hours left free though, must cram in as much as possible!

    Try playing it with the Moonraker soundtrack playing, now it's a James Bond game! :D

    Not enough variety to keep me interested. They should of included at least a basic SP mode against bots.

    But, my biggest gripe was the scaling of the levels. The space station one in particular is way off, you float over to the docked space shuttle and you are half the size of the entire shuttle.

    The micro asteroids that kill you in seconds if you float too far away are also a pain.

    As a space sim it's excellent though. As I preordered it I will get invites to try out new maps as soon as they go into beta. I'll fire it up each time a new map comes out.
