It may not be on our most-wanted list of 2010 DS games, but I'm still not sure how we let this get past us. Platinum Games' space-operatic RPG Infinite Space will be leaving the dock later next month.
For the uninitiated, Infinite Space is an epic sci-fi RPG built around customizing and flying a fleet of up to five ships and firing beam lasers and super-missiles at enemies. Oh, and the story apparently takes inspiration from Arthur C. Clarke's Childhood's End, which is a cool book.
Anyway, Colette's pretty stoked for the game, as am I, since watching Legend of the Galactic Heroes I've had a hankering for some lumbering spaceship fleet action.

And that concept art looks fairly homeworldy to me, so that's an extra plus.
Had my eye on Infinite Space since early last year, they say its a very content rich RPG for something on the DS. Considering DS is getting two other content-rich RPGs next month - SMT: Strange Journey and Pokemon HG/SS - this one going with them will keep me occupied for a good long while. FFXIII can wait, I think, these are a little more worthy of attention.
There are a couple hundred people to meet and many of them can be recruited in Infinite Space. They are capable of being assigned to their specializations on each ship you build. As you progress you'll be able to build up those ships. Sounds like something you could sink hundreds of hours into if you really cared to.
Hey, more Legend of the Galactic Heroes fans in the house. They don't make like that awesome anime anymore.
Man, with BC2 and Infinite Space, I think I'll be done buying games til SSFIV, SC:C and Alan Wake.
First of all it has most epic and deep story one have ever seen in video games (compared maybe to saga/gears) and when it ads a unique feeling of nostalgia on good old sci-fi books. Add great exploration and vast universe with a tons of planets to visit and ...well...its just almost perfect. And the main hero is at last not an idiotic weepy schoolboy who wants to save everyone, it is quite a determined individual, who knows exactly what he wants. And in a way is like the other cool hero bearing the same name - Yuri from Shadow hearts.
You may not want to buy it only if you hate sci-fi in particular or simply good plots in general.
