Well then I disagree with Gamespot... while it could work, sure, it genericizes it... I imagine combat would end up more like Decent than Freespace, which for a space shooter is a bad thing... I LOVE space shooters. TIE Fighter is, IMO, one of the 5 best games ever made... and X-Wing Alliance and the two Freespace games are also really, really awesome titles. They are great... so so drastically changing (and genericizing) the genre can't do any good. Will it work? Maybe... but it makes it more like a FPS in space, not a unique genre... and that isn't good.
As for linearity, I have no problem at all with that.
