Not Bad, Not Great
I have to admit to having a soft spot for the whole space shooter with trading and missions etc type game, having played Elite way back in the day I was hooked on being a space trader. DarkStar One: Broken Alliance is nothing more than a modern update of Elite with new graphics and gameplay. If you are expecting a game that re-defines the space shooter genre this isn't it, if you just want to fly around, buy androids in sol and sell them for twice the price light years away then this is for you.
The only thing I don' understand is that looking at the screenshots and information available for the PC game DarkStar One, this seems to be the same game but a console port, so why the name change?
