You are Seth Walker, a crew member on the Armstrong, the only colony ship to survive a massive alien attack upon Earth. As the aliens descend upon the Armstrong, Walker must fend off the extraterrestrial threat using his wits and weapons. To help his cause, he can choose to augment his body with a variety of cybernetic upgrades available throughout the Armstrong - but with each mechanical improvement, he becomes more machine than man. In this spectacular sci-fi adventure, will you risk your own humanity to save the human race?

With multiple gameplay paths, it's easy to get lost in the immersive futuristic sci-fi environment. Each decision you make will affect both the gameplay and the story, creating surprise twists and turns and great replay-ability. You can improve Seth's fighting abilities with a vast array of cybernetic, armor, and weapon upgrades.

You're not completely alone in this fight -- your constant robot companion, HR-V, will help you in your battles with the alien enemy. And like you, HR-V can also be upgraded to deal massive damage and help you out in a variety of other ways. Up to four players can take part in the epic Space Siege battles, allowing for a variety of cooperative approaches to combat.

Average Rating:

Rating: - Pretty, but pretty dull too
Set aboard a space ship over-run with aliens. You, with the help of a trusty robot assistant, go around the ship undertaking tasks and blasting aliens. So far so good, but there is where it all falls down. While this is quite good to look at, it is very very dull, and while it tries to be innovative but ends up being a top down shooter with some RPG elements. You can upgrade your weapons from the bits you bit around or that are dropped by the aliens you slaughter and you can upgrade yourself into some sort of cybernaut. It should mean something but it doesn't. What actually happens is rather tedious and the game lacks any level of tension or challenge. You follow your missions, you kill aliens, you die occasionally but then you regenerate a ... Read More:

Rating: - Nice little game with an interesting story line...
I like others thought the game was was too damn short...
and because of that... I didn't like the price either....

but this game had some really nice stuff going for it... I liked the fact that there was not an inventory like you have in traditional RPGs... I have never been that convenced that carring around a pile of crap from one end of a dungeon to the other was that convincing of an idea... I know (as I am an old time D&D fan that the concept of hughe inventories is an old RPG idea) but it was never very realistic... and even Gary Gygax had said it was just a game mechanic because the couldn't think of anything better at the time. Hellgate London I think hit on the way it should really be done by having lockers... certainly ... Read More:

Rating: - RUNNING IN CIRCLES IN THE DUNGEONS OF SPACE...
If truth be told, being a huge fan of the original Dungeon Siege, I was more eager to play SPACE SIEGE than any other game this summer. Hyped as the next creation of Chris Taylor and Gas Powered Games (both of DS fame), this was supposed to be the space age answer to the upcoming Diablo III. Well, all hell broke loose, that's for sure...

The story is tissue thin but this would not have been a real problem (after all, DS with its "simple peasant rising to the challenge to save the land" story was hardly...Shakespeare), if the game were to give immersion a chance. It does not. One never forgets that he is playing a video game. And the moment he might be caught in the action, the awkward controls will bring him back. I haven't seen such ... Read More:

Rating: - Short but sweet game
This game is short.....but I have not finished that many RPG's anyhow, so getting to through the end and then going back and playing through the two alternate paths gave me around 20 hours of gameplay - which is perfect! There are some extremely funny PDA's you pick up along the way and the game seems like a parody of every Sci-fi game/movie out there....seems that the critics don't pick up on this....think Starship Troopers!
Lots of improvements could have been made to this game....but in the end it was fun and that's all that mattered to me!

Rating: - Fun game - but a joke on length
The game can seriously be finished in 10 hours or less. There's no challenge, no big twists and the ending is a joke.

Words just fail to describe how crappy this is. There's no replayability in it either, cuz in the end, it doesn't matter if you're a cyborg or a full human; wether you join Pilot or fight against him: cuz the end encounters are exactly the same.

Extremely disappointed in this game. Wait for a few months when the game is $20 bucks; then it might be worth it.
