Summary: FreeSpace 2: The best space combat simulation game ever made
Review: By now some you have already heard of or read reviews of FreeSpace 2, the sequel to the excellent Descent: FreeSpace-The Great War which was published by Interplay back in 1998. There aren't enough adjectives to describe this magnus opus but here are a few: breath-taking, immersive, nonpareil, magnificent, astounding, absolutely brilliant. First things first: FreeSpace 2 requires a Pentium 200MHz with a 3D accelerator card that supports either Glide, OpenGL, or Direct3D. I recommend at least a Pentium II 266MHz or higher and about 1 gig of hard drive space. The game's high resolution artwork supports 1024x768 in 32-bit color and the standard 640x480; 800x600 need not apply.The game picks up 32 years after the original. The Terrans and Vasudans (the original enemies from the first game)have formed an alliance called the GTVC but a group of renegade Terrans called the New Terran Front have begun to shake things up. It gets worse: the nigh all-powerful Shivans make a return from the last game as well and add more fuel to this cosmic conflagration. As a GTVC pilot you will get to fly new Terran and Vasudan vessels as well as engage in epic dogfights against new Shivan craft. Locales now include nebulae which interfere with your ship's instruments but also your enemies' too. This game has to be played to be really appreciated. On the hardware side of things EAX and A3D audio support are present and accounted for as well as force feedback. And to make things even merrier Interplay has recently released the game. It's called FreeSpace 2: Sci-Fi Sim of the Year Edition and it has 20 additional levels, which brings the total number to 50. There's also high resolution wallpaper and a few other goodies not found on the original CD If you have even the faintest interest in computer games, or enjoy playing hardcore sci-fi sim combat games, then get FreeSpace 2. It will totally rock your world.

Summary: Childhood dream comes true
Review: Freespace the Great War came close, but this time, Freespace2 is exactly IT: my dream of space battle when i was young. Fleets of giant spaceships beaming each other, and you being a minute fighter/bomber, chasing others while being chased, will occasionally fly close enough to the ship to marvel at its size and details. more importantly, you feel you are IN for something huge. RPG's let you take over a piecec of personaly history. but Freespacec series really puts you in a position that you feel you are part of the history of huhmanity. you are in the turning point of the history. but you aren't the superhero who will determine it. you do your best and see what happens. your limited power makes you feel that you are still a human, but you are making your part in this history of humanity. this IS my all time favorite.

Summary: Absolutely Incredible
Review: I just got a hankering to re-install this game. Freelancer got a little stale for me and Tachyon didn't have enough to keep me playing after I beat it. So after more than two years of not playing this game, I am finding it to be incredible. The graphics are crisp, sound is incredible, controls incredibly responsive, gameplay complex enough for me, and storyline is pretty darn deep (especially for a game of this type). Plus... the game can pretty much go on forever with the FRED2 editor and there are VAST numbers of community created mods, featuring both sorte missions and full length campaigns.

Summary: The Best Sci Fi Flight Sim
Review: I played this game when it originally came out and fell in love...no, was obsessed with it instantly. I played it constantly, hours on end. Dreamed about it. It consumed all my waking thoughts. Why? Because this game is intense. The richness of the story and universe that they created with this game is amazing. However, the mechanics of the game is what is truly unmatched. the graphics are amazing, the sound is out of this world, the vocal acting is good (for a video game, anyway). There are so many ships and weapons to choose from, and the way the ships move and get hit look quite believable. And there is nothing so frightening as when you have the volume cranked and you are going against a capital ship and you hear those beams start to charge up. Unlike in other sci-fi flight games, going against a capital ship in THIS game is very risky business indeed. But what I think really made this game so great which noone ever mentions is the FRED editor which allows you to create your own missions and campaigns from scratch. There is nothing more exciting than when you complete your own mission/campaign with your own story and you go in and try it and it all works the way you wanted and even in some unexpected ways as well. It's the editor, at least in my case, that ensured the enduring playability of this game, even after I had completed the main adventure. Unfortunately I had lost my access to a computer and could not play this or any other PC game for a couple of years but recently have been able to play games again. First one I went back to try was Freespace 2. I was worried that it might seem dated or the "magic" as it were, may have worn off. I'm happy to report that the spell has not been broken, the game is as incredible now as it was in 1999. there is simply nothing to compare to it. I'm sure my waking thoughts and dreams will be consumed by it soon.

Summary: Fantastic!
Review: Look, there's nothing I can say that can do this game justice. Saying that the graphics are groundbreaking, the sound is excellent, and that it has an honest-to-<insert deity> plot that would actually make a fairly decent SF novel just doesn't capture the magnitude of this game. Go to the Interplay website and download the playable demo. Afterwards, pick your jaw up off of the floor so that you can buy the full version.
