A Dissenting Opinion
There's no doubt about it: lots of people really love this game. I had high expectations due to all the praise it receives, but I have to say I was disappointed. If, like me, you're looking for a space combat simulator, Freespace 2 is not for you. It is strictly arcade-mode. Now, that's not necessarily a bad thing if that's what you're into, but if you're looking for realism and depth, you'll be let down. If I judge Freespace 2 simply for what it is rather than what I wish it had been, it still comes up short, mainly because the controls are ridiculously over-complicated (possibly to mask the inherent simplicity of the gameplay) for an arcade point-and-shoot. There are dozens of different buttons to push for all sorts of trivial ship functions that should be and would be automated in an real starship. If you love spending hours acclimating to an unintuitive UI, you might enjoy that, but I didn't. Freespace 2 is, frankly, my most disappointing GoG purchase so far. I made it through about 10-12 missions, became completely bored -- not frustrated, not aggravated, not anything except bored -- and I haven't fired it up one time since.
Hilft dir das weiter?
