  We've got lots of fantasy books, some horror books, a few modern books, but this energetic take on classic sci-fi is a breath of fresh air, not just for its theme, but also its eccentricities, both good and bad. The absolute best Fighting Fantasy books are still to come, but this is one of the real classics in the series, so if you enjoy gamebooks or goofy sci-fi, I encourage you to give it a try.

  The mixture of new and old elements, ensures that Fighting Fantasy: Starship Traveller is going to stick in adventure gamebook fans's memories for a while to come. It feels more interactive than others thanks to the variety of different crew members, easily enhancing the replayability factor. Therefore, it's a no brainer of a purchase - especially for Sci-Fi fans.

  5.0

  Starship Traveller is a decidedly old-school gamebook adventure that will appeal to any Fighting Fantasy or Star Trek fans. However it is a fairly limited experience with a weak combat system, and the emphasis on luck might put many off. Fans may appreciate the few bonus features, such as the history of the series, but there are better examples of interactive novels available.

  There's no denying that Fighting Fantasy: Starship Traveller is aimed squarely at the science fiction geeks out there (hi, everyone, see you at the next online party), but it's every bit as enjoyable for all adventure and gamebook fans, new and old. The original gamebook has been beautifully revived, and now stands shoulder-to-shoulder with its sci-fi peers across all entertainment media

  6.0

  Hier beschränkt sich die Modernisierung auf ein paar Standbilder, eine automatische Karte sowie Hintergrundmusik und Statistiken. Unterm Strich sorgt aber selbst diese leichte Modernisierung noch für solide Unterhaltung. Auch wenn Story und Charaktere nicht gerade das Niveau einer Space Opera erreichen, machen skurille Situationen und fremde Zivilisationen immer wieder neugierig.
