Freespace 2

Despite this game's age, it is still better than most games of its type. Actually there aren't really any others like it, which makes it a one of a kind. With Freespace Open you can expand tremendously on an already feature packed game. Some of the best tutorials of even today, and some of the coolest briefing scenes.

i played this game I and II about 12 years ago i had the CDs; but i lost them This game, im my opinion, rate along other great games i have played before like DOOM(any version) or BF 2 and 3 It is the story what keeps you interested thru the whole game and beyong If they are coming with FS3 i will say GO FOR IT!!!!

My brother urged me to get this. So glad I did. It's been a long time since I last experienced a space battle game like this. It''s really enjoyable and I highly recommend it. We are yet to try out the multi-player option in the game.

This is one of the best space sims I ever played. The controls are smooth. The atmosphere of the game is tense. The missions sometimes frightening serious.

This is a really good spacecombat game. You get a briefing for the battle, then depending on your rank you might get to choose your ship and loadout and later your squads ships and loadout. Then the BATTLE starts. This game has really really good battles. You can only fly smaller fighters and bombers, but the battles has cruisers, destroyers, titans...you will see huge bams going off, you will see flak defence fire. And you are in the middle, part of a bigger battle. But you can influence it in a lot of ways. Run interceptors and catch enemy torpedoes so your capital ships win. Or fly air superiority fighters and get those enemy bomers. Or fly a bomber and disable enemy capital ship components. Or make your squad bombers and protect them with your fighter.... But its not all allout battle, you can have scoutmission in a nebula where you can see anything. Or you get invited to a blackop mission behind enemy lines. Or you are stationed near a civilian structure and have to make sure nothing goes wrong! But you know what the best part is?This game went open source, there is a fanproject that you use that updates the graphics quite a lot. And there are countless of total mods with new storyline and everything. btw, this game is perfectly fine with mouse and keyboard, at least the open source project version is.
