(More customer reviews)Even now 27-01-2006 I stil concider Hardwar (released 1998) to be the best game ever. The freeform game mechanics have been executed with such good judgement that it has not been surpassed by other freeform spacegames of the 21st century like I-warII. egosoft's X series or freelancer.
The setting of the game has a cult atmophere, it reminds strongly of the 2000ad comics and the cult film "Hardware". the cutscenes often related to a plotline you can choose to follow are done with great taste and black humor.
When you play you'll soon find that the AI in this game has a life of it's own. The AI characters have a job, a bankaccount friends and enemies and sometimes a bounty on their head. If you would do nothing they'd still go on with their busines and life goes on. This means that no two games you play wil ever be the same.
I can go on for hours about this game, but a friend of mine put it like this "If I devide the price I paid fro this game by the hours I've played it, no game would come close even if I had paid 200 euros".
I own 5 coppies of Hardwar just to make sure I'll never run out.
There is still a lively community of hardwar players and the programmers even bring out updates now and then even when the companies responsible (Gremlin and the software refinery) have faded long ago.
This game is a gem.
Xaffax out!
