O.R.B.: Off-World Resource Base - Previews
:: 2002-11-05 ::
Worthplaying
"O.R.B. seems like such a fresh, different game, that maybe gamers who are sick of Command and Conquer clones (or sequels, for that matter) will want to give it a try."


:: 2002-10-22 ::
GameSpot
"O.R.B. looks like it might be a winning blend of the familiar and the innovative."


:: 2002-09-10 ::
Loaded Inc.
"It's been too long since a decent and involving space-based RTS hit the gaming scene. Perhaps O.R.B will be the next game to set the benchmark for the genre."

Adrenaline Vault
"The visuals of O.R.B. are astounding to behold, especially the environmental effects. If the larger, more advanced vessels and structures maintain the stunning level of detail seen in the preview version, O.R.B. will be one of the best looking strategy games available this fall."

Wargamer
"O.R.B.'s graphics are exceptional. The soft pastel shades of background nebulas contrast nicely with the darker, hard-edged asteroids and ships. Unit detail at any level of magnification is impressive, and weapons' fire and explosions are wonderfully rendered."


:: 2002-07-12 ::
Khabal Gaming
"You cannot help but notice the impressive quality of the graphics of O.R.B. Units are detailed at full zoom and pixelation is definitely minimal. What better way to showcase spectacular graphics than the destruction of your units with explosions that send out shockwave of debris for effects?"

Elited
"...one can see that this game will be easily addictive and worthy of your harddrive. O.R.B. is due out this fall to impress us all. Again, Strategy First shows off another spectacular game as they have many times before."

"O.R.B. impressed me a lot, due to its good graphics, easy to learn controls and well developed plot. If you're into space/sci-fi strategy games then O.R.B is for you, be sure to check it out when it hits shelves."

"To some RTS fans, the 3D nature of Homeworld rendered it�s control system overly complex and undesirable. Strategy First have obviously acknowledged this and addressed it accordingly. O.R.B�s control method is somewhat similar, although it�s much easier to use and master. With the aid of a 2D map overview (which can be toggled on and off between the 3D view), moving units to your desired location is a snap."


:: 2002-06-26 ::
Game Genie
"O.R.B. looks like a good modern update to the 3-D space strategy game, with easy to use controls that are also powerful."

"O.R.B. is making more splashes in the water the closer it comes to release. Do not pass this one by, as it looks like it will surely end up as one of the many great RTS games this year."

"The game will turn real-time strategy upside-down"


:: 2002-06-17 ::
Gaming Excellence
