Fun and entertaining. A bit better than most of its counterparts taking into account that players may try things outside the regular run of things. So bonus point for that.
When I read Frodo's review, and knowing this was a Gidda mission, I expected a golden classic to be cherished. But, alas, it is not. The mission is perfectly structured, the dogfighting was great and there were many things to do, giving a real hectic feeling through the engagement. But, then you realize there were 2 R&D asteroid bases, almost 10 static defenses, several capital ships and a swarm of fighters to take down with just a standard load of rockets? Really? My trigger finger aches at the sound of this. Too bad, because with a reloading craft or some proper loadout (doubles at least or more GUNs present to help) this could have been a wonderful gem, and falls short into some unrealistic, yet-another-lasers-only bombing mission, that are wisely despised. Fly it only if you have the stamina and patience, otherwise steer elsewhere.
This deserves a 5 just because of the backdrops...beautiful Gidda, absolutely wonderful. This mission was perfect in every last detail.
