Elite Plus is a good, old space trading game - a sequel to the original Elite, created in 1983. For an old game, it can be very complex and deep. You teleport and fly between planets to buy and sell various goods like slaves and weapons.
I would give the graphics a 4. They aren't exactly good by today's standards, but these older style 3D graphics were great for their time. The game still feels very playable, even with primitive 3D graphics.
The gameplay I would give a 5 as it allows for a lot of fun with everything you can do. As this is a freelance game, you can do a lot. The main objective is to trade items between planets with the buy low/sell high ethic, and you can also attack other ships and take their cash.
The sound I would give a 3. It's all internal speaker sound, and the fighting effects are bloops and bleeps. Still, it's really cool. The only music is available on the menu, but it's really well done and a classic song.
Overall, I'd give this game a 4 as it has great gameplay, cool graphics, but is lacking in one area: it's the same game as the original Elite. Nothing more has been added except a newer, easier-to-use interface and new graphics. This game would have scored a higher rating if it had had something cool added, like going on fun missions from the planets.
