Why oh why did EA destroy a potential block buster? I downloaded the demo with very high hopes. Wing Commander was one of my first loves and one of the first games I played hooky just to play more. I could not play the demo for more than 20 minutes before I had to turn it off.

The game is incredibly dumbed down….I know…I know…it is supposed to be a translation into an arcade game. The game had no weight to it. It does not feel substantial. I want your opinion. I need to know if I am totally off the mark. Download the demo and feel free to tell me what you think. Usually before I give my impressions on a game I give it a fair shake. This game was so bad I couldn’t even give it a half a shake.

Wing Commander Arena felt like a game EA told the interns to make and they would sign off on some college creds for them. I was sadly disappointed.
