Overall it was fun, point and shoot. I didn't get too far, but here's what I thought:
Rating explanations: - Fun 4: If not for the chore like fashion of finding the green foreign bodies, this would be 5. - Learning 5: I definitely learned a lot and it's great because you are teaching, which means you have to learn. - Science 5: But I am assuming because I was learning. :D

I thought it was pretty good. Information packed. Great cut scenes. As far as the controls; being able to change mouse flight sensitivity. Graphics are good. Concept is great. At the beginning of the levels where they give information on the mission, a skip button wont hurt after the first time. Overall, pretty good.

Immune attack is a cool game. It is difficult until you learn how to play it.
