Summary: Not to be missed by any sci-fi fan.
Review: This game is addictive. I've been late for work every day for 2 weeks straight from playing this game all night! The production values are so high I've almost been killed several times by being distracted with the action going on around my ship. Anyone who was ever thrilled by a Sci-fi movie simply must get this game!

Summary: The best space combat game ever created by human hands!
Review: This game will check the meaning of the word "game" for you.
1.) Deep, well-writen sci-fi plot.
2.) Incedibly dog-fighting action
3.) Capital ships have huge beam cannons that can punch right through hostile ships (awe-inspiring). Bottom line here, the graphics rock!
4.)Dozens of user-made campaigns online. Done with the main campaign? Go download some more.
5.) Amazing battles and dogfights composing of seemingly endless swarms of allied and hostile fighters.
6.) Rise through the ranks, earn medals, and even acquire your own squadren to command.
7.) Great multiplayer modes!
8.) An excellent mission editor which allows you to easily, and quickly, create missions of pro developer quality...without any programming!
9.) Some missions are very non-linear. So sometimes what you do in one mission, effects the next mission (fail to destroy a cruiser? It may just show up in the next battle).
10.) Amazing cutscenes, better than any other game i've ever played.
11.) High replay value.
12.) Heck, everything about this game rocks.
Bottom Line:
This game blows away any other space combat game! BUY THIS GAME NOW!

Summary: The standard to which others must be compared
Review: This is one of the best games to come out in the last couple of years. I'm not sure that I would say that the extra missions included in the 'SF Sim of the Year' edition make it worth paying the ten extra bucks, so you might want to point yourself in the direction of the standard edition if you're pinching pennies this week.This is a space sim (duh); so you want to have a joystick or a gamepad unless you're into punishing yourself. I'm of the understanding that a lot of people avoid or are disappointed in games that are built around a joystick, which is too bad. This game deserves wider sales than it has had, because it's the spaceflight equivalent of Half-Life or Starcraft. System requirements are also fairly heavy. It can be played in 640x480 or 1024x768 (older Voodoo owners, take note: no 800x600) at 32-bit color, and at 1024 in 32 there still is no game to date that looks better. But you've got to be prepared to throw some hardware at it. I get fairly decent framerates on my Celeron 400 with TNT2 Ultra, but it's the kind of game that makes you want to buy a whole new system just for better play. If you want consistent 30fps and beyond, think bigger CPU. Enough with the technical details. This is a work of art. As gamers we live for those jaw-dropping moments when you see something that you've never seen before that astonishes you with sheer visual impact and wonder, followed by a rush of adrenaline as you try to survive what's being thrown at you. The first time you see a huge beam of alien energy scream by your puny fighter and start carving up an allied capital ship like a roast, you'll have one of those moments. This is, as people have noted, the closest thing so far to having a movie-like experience in front of your computer, and then some. This is a great game: The storyline is great, the voice acting is tops, the graphics are eye-popping, the gameplay is white-knucked, the interface is fantastic. It's the new standard for the genre. The only thing I can think of that's a crying shame is that not enough people brought it to a cash register for there to be a true expansion pack. If there's a FreeSpace 3, it won't be for a couple of years...but I'm sure that when it does arrive, you'll be sorry you weren't following along.

Summary: Freespace 2
Review: this new space sim by interplay and volition is probably the most perfect sim i have ever played. there are over 50 missions, as well as some special assignments that you can chooose to accept or decline. the story line is simply amazing. there are huge advancements in spaceship technology since the last game. there are some really huge ships that completely dwarf your own ship. there are some difficult missions, but having to wait another day to find out what happens after you beat that difficult level is really suspensful. my suggestion to all of you fighter sim fanatics is to get this game. it is simply the best.

Summary: The greatest Space Simulation ever created
Review: Though this game is coming up on 5 years old, it has aged very well. I have replayed the game more times than I ever had any other game. You will see why it is THE benchmark upon which all other space sim games are based. It's a travesty that it didn't get more credit and press. If you enjoy combat flight simulations and you haven't played this one, you're missing out. Play it; you won't be disappointed. Now if only Volition would release a Freespace 3!

Summary: I just don't get it.
Review: True, the graphics are incredible, and the story behind the game is quite interesting, but...the game itself is dull. Basically you fly around in a beautifully generated computer environment shooting at other ships. If the graphics and musical score were a tenth of what they are, the average user would see it as the low-brow arcade sim that it is. PS: I STILL have not found a game that even closely rivals Red Baron 3D. Now that's a game!

Summary: poopies
Review: What else can you do for a game that has garnered as many awards as Freespace 2 has? Why add new missions of course! The result is Freespace 2: Sci-Fi Sim of the Year Edition, a product which includes 20 extra missions as well as some high-res artwork and wallpaper not included on the original CDs. The missions have been crafted by users and are approved by Volition and Interplay. First the specs: Freespace 2 requires at least a Pentium 200MHz processor and 32MB of RAM with a 4MB 3D video card. Ideally, you'll want to run the game on a Pentium II 266MHz or faster processor with an 8MB or higher video card and 64 or more megs of memory. Because the game has a 1024x768 screen resolution option the maximum install is about 1.2GB of hard drive space. But it's worth it, all of it. Freespace 2 is the ultimate representation of what any computer game should be. From the opening cutscene, which chronicles the Battle of Deneb from the previous game, to the first battle in which a cruiser destroys another with an iridiscent energy beam the game unfolds in magnificent fashion. The plot is set 32 years after the first game and casts you as a pilot flying sorties and missions against a rogue faction of Terrans called the New Terran Front (NTF). The implacable Shivans make a return from the previous game with new ships and weapons of mass destruction. Battles range from the cold void of space to the miasmic shadows of ubiquitous nebulae. Graphics are handled by a game engine that requires a 3D accelerator card; supported chipsets include the 3dfx Voodoo family, nVidia's TNT and GeForce offerings, ATI's Rage Pro, and Matrox's G200 and G400. Direct3D and Glide are also supported as are EAX for Creative Labs' SoundBlaster Live! sound cards, and A3D for Aureal's Vortex audio chipsets. Force feedback deepens the level of immersion with wrist-rattling effects that will make you swear your den (or whichever room your PC's in) is a cosmic battleground. Freespace 2: Sci-Fi Sim of the Year Edition is the culmination of excellent gaming. The music, graphics, and missions will have you in awe for hours on end. Get this game and experience it today!
