It's been out for a little while (a matter of days, but since some time last week).

I haven't played that much yet...

I love space fighters, used to love the X-Wing and Tie Fighter series and Freespace was great.

Sylpheed? I'm really not sure as yet, I'm not convinced by the way the ship handles, two sticks are usually perfect for space fighter control, but their use here is a little off. Also, when attacking capitol ships it could really do with being a little easier to locate and target specific points...

It's still interesting, but it didn't grab me the way I'd hoped it would.

It's really hard to shoot enemies with anything other than lock-on missles and even then, it's hard to see them. I like the flight controls but you get lost too easily. It needs something like Rogue Squadron had where if you can bring down a view screen to highlight the enemies and the allies.
