Published April 10th 2010. Written by Sean Bell. Space! Everyone loves space. Professor Brian Cox particularly loves space, and he used to be the keyboardist in D:Ream, so he’s probably on to something. So, if you love space too – and you bloody do, al...

Despite its RPG roots and its heavy use of stats, Infinite Space actually has a lot in common with the Phoenix Wright franchise. Although the game world is set in the far reaches of outer-space, the gameplay is structured as a series of menus populated with characters that you must converse with in order to advance the plot. Unfortunately, you often find yourself in narrative dead ends, with little clue as to what you should do next. You'd have to be Sherlock Holmes to sniff out some of the...

Infinite Space has the pedigree to be the next pint-sized blockbuster. It’s developed by Platinum Games, the folks behind Bayonetta and Madworld; it’s got hundreds of collectible ships, a cast of anime-inspired characters; and it takes place in outer-...

As the third title to come from boutique studio Platinum Games, Infinite Space has the unenviable task of following two extremely fresh and exciting titles in the form of MadWorld and Bayonetta. Anyone expecting similar levels of exuberance and inventi...
Infinite Space’s finer details are buried under layers of obscured mechanics. And for many people, the end experience just won’t be worth the effort involved in understanding them. If you long to command your own ship (and its admittedly well...

You know you’re in dangerous sci-fi waters when a world has a made-up swear word. Battlestar’s ‘frak’. Judge Dredd’s ‘drokk’. Infinite Space gives us ‘grus’. Syntactical reverse engineering struggles to pinpoint the exact meaning. “What the grus!” sugg...

Every once in a while, a huge game comes out with a lot of gall. Isn’t that what Infinite space is? After all, it’s supposed to be infinite, right? Not quite. It’s got great potential, but fell short of the throne. GAMEPLAYIf you don’t already kno...

Not quite infinite, but it sure is close. Infinite Space will go down in history as one of the most complex games worked on by Platinum Games, makers of MadWorld and Bayonetta. Their co-developer, Nude Maker, are most famous for developing the absurdl...

Infinite Space brings together two of my favourite things in life: JRPGs and space-opera. For those with geek-levels matching my own, such a combination is irresistible. While Mass Effect's allegiances lie firmly with western RPG mechanics, and the Sta...

The Nintendo DS has quite a bit more in common with classic PC gaming than you might realize. There are the remakes of SimCity and Jagged Alliance, but it's also kind of the new home for first-person dungeon crawlers, which were once indigenous to that...

Infinite Space is not a terrible game by any means, but it is a disappointment. Ever since it was announced almost two years ago we've been excited to explore the universe and have command over an entire fleet of starships. Infinite Space does let you...
Infinite Space offers dozens of hours of deep space exploration and storytelling, but the overall package is clunky and inconvenient. Sci-fi and anime fans might find the story worth sticking around for, though, and there are some interesting character...
