Space Siege Reviews

Overall, Space Siege is mildly entertaining, but many of its features will leave the player feeling unsatisfied. Conversely, Space Siege does manage to do some things right, such as making combat fun, which is practically a given considering how much time is spent cutting through enemies. The lack of atmosphere, tension, and urgency doesn't help either, especially since the player is supposed to feel like humanity is on its last leg. The characters fit into the common stereotypes, making them far too shallow to be interesting. In the end, Space Siege attempts to blend the Action and RPG genres, but all it manages to do is strip the best parts of both and throw what's left into a heap of cybernetic rubble, making fans of both genres equally disappointed.
And Gas Bandit Gaming gives it a "C+":
So you slog through this ridiculously huge spaceship so big it might as well BE an underground technodungeon, shooting aliens and cybers and doing the standard dungeon thing and it's all pretty fluid and well put together, but the feel is so repetitive and formulaic that ennui sets in pretty darn fast. I played it for long after I usually would have tossed it just so I could verify that the abovementioned hackneyed plot components would in fact come to pass, and I was not (or was I?) disappointed... So overall I'd have to say it gets a C+ for creating a bland but smooth gaming experience.
