Choice of the Star Captain User Reviews

Great if I didn't have to pay twice

It's a great game but you are only getting 1 star because I already bought this game a few years ago and now for some reason I had to buy it again (meaning it cost me a total of $13 instead of $6.50)

I want my money back for this purchase!!!

Great

Great Story will remember this one for a while.

An unexpected pleasure

This is a fun romp with a subtle level of divergent humor. It feels like an E.E. Doc Smith adventure, with some Harry Harrelson icing. It is hard to predict just what the result of different choices are, but each leads to a smile or a chuckle.

Both funny and deep

This has become my favorite light-hearted and fun Choice of Games game. The story never takes itself too seriously, but still manages to pack in a lot of moral ambiguity. Plus, Lloyd may be one of the most funnest characters I've seen in an interactive fiction. It's snarky, funny, and your relationship can actually make a difference to the story.

On the downside, everything before the ending has no real replayability. I wish there was a save point at the last chapter, since that's where the plot really starts to diverge.

Choiceofgames are great.

This title was amazing. The plot was interesting, the situations were compelling, and the twists were all interesting to explore. I recommend this highly to anyone who likes text-based adventures. This title is just zany enough, and it doesn't take itself so seriously as some others.
Five stars all the way!

This choice game was a stand out! Awesome options to choose - really made me think. It also had great humour too. Brilliant!

great

this is a great choice of game it's really fun with good characters gotta love LIoyd

Oh my

Hands down one of the best stories I have ever read/participated in. It was really exciting and really awesome and I loved the ending and just woooow. Well worth the money. If you're like me and you're doubting if it's worth it, it is. Just trust me. It is. Plus theres a bunch of pop culture references, its just great.

I love being a ship commander

This book was so good I played it several times to get different endings.

MEH

This one didn't really do it for me story-wise. Sci if is my favorite genre of fiction but this story was written pretty amateurishly (is that a word?) and many of the choices I had to make didn't include what I actually wanted to do. Oh well, it's only a couple bucks and it kept me playing to the end, if just to get it finished, so 3 stars anyway.

One of the better COGs. Not greatest.

A little on the easy side and too forgiving. I made it to the end with a high "score". Only 2 times I had to really think "oh s&@t what to do"; you know nervous. If you want a EZ none threatening cog adventure this is it. I still rate it high because I'm a fan the sci-fi subject matter. And I did enjoy my time with it.

Great Game!

I just finished the first play. Great ending and I am excited to find the other ones. It's comedic and adventurous. The plot line is pretty interesting. One of the best ones I've played.

Amazing!

This is defiantly one of the best apps I've ever used. I've just finished my first adventure and I am going to play more ways through the story. I am defiantly going to be playing more choice of apps.

One of CoG's Best (possibly even THE best)

This is probably my favorite CoG game; it's tied with Way Walkers for my favorite IF associated with the label. The narration is consistently funny, and the characters are pretty well-written (though the one who really shines is Lloyd, without whom the game would be much less amusing). It's just a shame that the plot wasn't left open for a sequel...

Very enjoyable and well written. I liked Lloyd. Lets hope for a sequel.

One of the best

This game was one of Choice of Games's better ones. It begins with adventure and comedy, and ends with adventure, mystery, and comedy. All of these elements are meshed together very well, making an all-around excellent game.

That being said,

The game's plot was rather predictable. Your character is selected for a special reason, the twist at the end I saw coming from the beginning of the game - typical stuff, stereotypes which I thought this game could have been much better off without.
Also, the number of choices which you can make are limited, which makes one feel as if his options are dictated.
But aside from these issues, the game had a plethora of comedy, which - let's face it - makes all games that much better.
In the end, you did have enough flexibility in the game to make it worth playing, and enough fun to make it worth buying. I would recommend buying this app.

Awesome game

I love it. The game is chock full of surprises you never would think of and much more. Wish your character would marry- male should marry Doctor Loraine or someone, female would marry Salazar.

Amazing!

Amazing story line, love the interactive component, and enjoy the humor.
