Mission Space is pretty good, but there is, in my opinion, one glaring flaw....it's not re-rideable. Once you've ridden it, there's really no point in going back. The worst part of all is that they have control sticks and buttons to press....but it really does nothing. Anything you do inside the cabin has no affect on what happens on the screen.
Someone in your cabin doesn't press a button? "AUTOMATIC OVERRIDE".
Then the asteroid field and the Mars descent....Gary Sinise is giving you commands on what to do with the control stick. But what happens if you don't? "AUTOMATIC OVERRIDE" and the stick starts moving with Sinise's commands.
How about several different scenarios, depending on what choices the riders make? Like if someone doesn't jettison the booster rockets, having to make an emergency landing on the moon instead?
Or...and I know this is completely grim...but what about a death sequence? Say if your pilot isn't as good as navigating asteroids as Han Solo? Or how about everyone decinding to move a muscle? "CRASH!"
Then Sinise pops onto the screen to inform you that you are a miserable failure and you are all "dead" now, and you should have probably gone to play the kiddie games at the end instead.
i mean we have to admit that even Mission Space that is kinda old now still holds up GREAT to THIS DAY.
