  Strike Vector EX pulled on a lot of nostalgic heartstrings for me, and it was a refreshing experience. The gameplay is amazingly tight and controllable, and the combat is hectic and fun. The heavy rock soundtrack fits the atmosphere of the game perfectly. This remaster of the old Strike Vector has given players a bigger, grander world to explore.

  Strike Vector EX is a small game with a lot of heart. While the campaign is sub-par and it doesn’t offer the depth or longevity or other titles, what’s there is fun, fast, and wild. Released at a discount price, this is definitely a game to rope one or two friends into buying with you so you can always have a wingman (or nemesis) on call on and seed some multiplayer action.

  This is a multiplayer game, not a single player one. Cruising through the skies against a squadron of human pilots is frantic and enjoyable. Anything else is not worth your time.

  I wasn’t particularly happy that customizing my vector was limited to online multiplayer, and the thin storyline with irrational character decisions was a bit of a letdown. Had more effort gone into the story and characters, this could easily have been a much more impressive title, and with multiplayer restricted to PS+ it just feels that much smaller for those not interested in buying the service.

  Nevertheless, Strike Vector EX is still a blast to play! Newcomers who pick up the console version will surely benefit from practicing in both Campaign and Skirmish mode before heading online. In addition, several new levels and online modes help to reduce the repetitive nature of gameplay. While it's not the next CoD, it's still a fun way to pass the time in between playing infantry-based shooters.

  8.0

  It’s impressive how good Strike Vector EX really is. Something like this should be a recipe for frustration, a conceit even the developer acknowledges by awarding a trophy for the first crash called “Welcome to Strike Vector.” In practice, though, this fast-paced arcade flight game manages to be intuitive and natural, allowing the player to strap in and blow up friendlies at a pretty good clip.
