Freespace 2

A gem with infinite replay value thanks to years of work of a great community. A whole new galaxy is opened to you !

In regards to space combat simulators this was the best. I loved flying my little fighter out and about and trying to defend the larger ships and the sequel and story and everything about it.

I enjoyed this very much.. Like Wing Commander but with far superior controls.

WISH THEY CONTINUES IT!!!!!!!

This is why GOG.com is going to be the greatest thing to ever happen to PC gaming. I have seen this game going for 100 bucks or more on ebay in the past. It's a fantastic game that everyone should play, but who wants to have to pay 100 bucks in order to play it? The space flight sim genre is all but dead. That's a shame. I think Freespace 2 is the pinnacle of the genre as far as gameplay goes. Wing Commander began to focus too much on storytelling and uninteractive movie sequences. Freespace 2 does away with all of that and instead, it gives you hours of tense combat. It's also very very pretty. Its visuals hold up very well for a 9 year old game. If the genre were still alive today, I wouldn't think any new games would look much better than Freespace 2.
