Talk:Space Rangers (video game)

Article move
Moved the article to Space Rangers (video game) as there is also a Space Rangers (TV series) that will be the subject of an article shortly if it doesn't already exist. 23skidoo 14:18, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * My bad. Thanks. --Kizor 15:09, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

I've played the first game and it also was a huge succes, but since only few Russians game were realeased in other countrys (Russian video games considered lame and dumb). I think there should be an article about the first game or at least an article that talks about Space Rangers game in common. Like Counter-Strike article.

Whoever wrote thet both games are extremly identical haven't played the game at all. when in first game you can go around the known universe and play text-type games, and completing other sorts of mission with one main of destroying the enemy, in second player gets the same features and also many other features are added, such as riding the bike or robot fight.

 * That would be me. I disagree; both have virtually the same concept, setting and goal. The basic gameplay is very much the same, though the second one enriches it with more goodies and missions. --Kizor 18:17, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
 * And I'd agree with Kizor; having both games on my hard drive right now, I can say that the underlying plot - defend a multi-species civilization against a radically alien aggressor - is the same, only the exact nature of the invader is different. Also the 'turn-based space travel' mechanic is unchanged.  The second game is an enhancement on the features of the first, with some significant new elements (RTS planetary battles).  Personally, I would go so far as to say that the second game kept what was successful and built on it (something that doesn't always happen in sequels).  Oh, and the 'known universe' of the first game may be the 'settled portion' of the galaxy, but it's certainly not known to the player - with only a few sectors revealed, and the rest needing to be uncovered by exploration/map purchase.

 * Here's one reference for the Star Control + Elite bit: http://www.elementalgames.com/eng/r_all.php  If you're feeling cynical, there is a review to back it up.  http://pc.gamedaily.com/game/features/?gameid=4905&id=246  -- Solberg 08:48, 13 August 2006 (UTC)Solberg


 * Not cynical, just like to ensure articles are up to standards. Those references are solid for that point--Crossmr 16:13, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Content merge = terrible
Someone merged all the content of SR1 and SR2 and treated the games as indistinguishable. They are similar, but not THAT similar. In particular the 2nd adds an RTS and FPS mode, has a different plot, probably different system requirements, and so on. Also obviously reviews of the 2nd game do not apply to the 1st game. So in short this article as it is right now is crappy. I fixed a tiny bit of it, whoever screwed it up earlier should fix the rest. -- Solberg 23:39, 11 June 2007 (UTC)Solberg


 * It seems like their intent was to make the article solely about the first one, and I presume to create an article for the second one, which actually is usually what happens. Only expansion packs are generally kept within the articlef or the game (unless the game is huge like The Sims).--Crossmr 23:47, 11 June 2007 (UTC)


 * I've created a separate article for Space Rangers 2; can somebody who's played both games please de-merge content that no longer belongs here? --Muchness 07:32, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
