Video quality: It's nice, but suffers from that weird flickering effect
  that plagued some of the earlier PSX games.

Story: Wonderful, of course.  This is Wing Commander here.  A bit of the
  acting is a little stiff in places, but overall very good.

Graphics:  No cockpit views, which will annoy some people, but not me.  I
  hated the cockpit view and never used it anyway, because it restricts
  visibility.  Ships look decent, but a comparison to the PC version does
  show a distinct decrease in detail on the textures.

Music:  For being a digitized soundtrack, it doesn't sound very good at
  all.  WC3 on the PC with a half-decent wavetable soundcard sounds
  considerably better.  The music is well-composed, but the execution in
  this version could have used more work.

Control:  It controls well, but it does get choppy at times, particularly
  when near capital ships or when there are a LOT of fighters close by.
  The button scheme is a tad cumbersome at first, but one gets used to it,
  and it becomes second nature.  There is a bit of a learning curve though.
  Also, there is an annoying pause in mid-flight when new ships show up.

Other stuff:  This game is missing the ground missions.  What you see
  instead is an FMV scene of your fighter going down and taking out whatever
  installation you were after, etc.  So ground missions are always deemed
  successful, but you don't get to play them.  This is a big negative to
  me.  The ground missions are a pain to fly, but they are fun.

Overall: 7 out of 10, I'd say.  It's a good game, and worth the money if
  you can't get ahold of the PC version, but it could have been done much
  better.  I find it hard to believe that the PSX couldn't handle the ground
  missions.  The main thing this version has over the PC version is the
  much-improved video quality.  It's not as pixelly and doesn't have that
  weird afterimage effect that the PC version does (a problem which was,
  thankfully, fixed and then some in WC4).  It's a good effort, but the end
  result feels a bit rushed.
