Does anyone else have this game?

I saw a game a while ago called Universal Combat that looked pretty cool. I looked up some reviews on it, but not remembering the exact name, I typed "Ultimate Combat" and couldn't find any reviews. I bought the game anyway. I haven't played it yet, but I'm wondering if anyone else has and if it was worth my $20.

Gamespot gave it a 5.9, and said:

"This wildly ambitious simulation is torpedoed by an almost incomprehensible interface, the absence of a tutorial, numerous bugs, and many fit and finish issues, including dated production values."

Let us know how it actually turns out [http://forums.massassi.net/html/biggrin.gif] Also according to Gamespot, there's a sequel coming out.

Gamespot's been wrong far too many times for me to trust them anymore.

Well, at least they'll be right about the sequel.

Right? [http://forums.massassi.net/html/tongue.gif]

Universal Combat sucks. The control configuration is jacked up. Which isn't in itself bad, but they don't let you reconfigure the controls. The graphics are easily 4 years old and the sound is next to non-existent. Gamespot was being extremely generous with their rating.
