Here is a game that, after 8 years since it got out, still makes me play it! It's awesome, the voices, the graphics, the game play, enemies shooting you left and right, your squadron buddies asking for your help, the heat of the battle, the incredible momentum of a true dog fight in space. Sometimes you can almost feel it's real(heart races).One of the best games(in it's category)ever made, for sure. Of course the ships aren't that detailed, like we see today in more modern games. But that's part of it's charm, i think. Back in 1999 there was this adventure, an adventure of masses. By the way, did i mention you can play online or in LAN? Well, right now while i type these words, you can't play online(using PXD Servers), but until 2002 you could(online that is).Lan is still available, providing you connect at least two computers. About making a movie out of Freespace, well, why not, even if it's only to see how this story ends...at the very least, a Freespace3 sequel, so it doesn't leave us in suspense about the ending...

Well,

After the hit that is Freespace, i was really looking forward to this. I was actually in the beta, testing multiplayer with Dave Baranec from Volition.

Let me tell you, this game is awesome. It's single player campaign is long and captivating. You really want to keep playing just to learn what will happen next.

Gameplay wise, this excels the previous entry. You have huge capital ships on both sides, with deadly beam weapons, and they also battle each other. You are cought in the middle.

Graphics are updated and the game looks really good.

Sound is great, you really feel you're hurting when you get hit by a beam, or an enemy fighter.

Voice acting is brilliant and well done. Ronnie Cox, Robert Loggia, Kurtwood Smith. Hello?

All in all, this is the combat space sim that every developer in the genre wants to mimic. This is how you get everything right in a game.

This is without a doubt one of the best story lines I've have ever encountered in any game. For a space-Sim it absolutely rapes the Wing Commander series in graphics, storyline and sheer finesse. I still can't believe they haven't followed up with a third one in the series because there are more than enough angles to follow up on.

In respect to most movies based on games that have been released, such as Resident Evil and Tomb Raider, I really believe Hollywood have been missing out on some real potentials. Some of the biggest sellers and most popular games ever created are not getting the attention they so rightly deserve, such as Half-Life and HL2, Halo, GTA, Total Annihilation and of course FreeSpace 2.
