This was one of my favorite games. However there is a bug where you have to protect a ship going through an astorid belt, but it never jumnp out and you can't win and you can't proceed to the next mission. I remember there exist a mod that uses the freespace 2 engine where you import the orginal mission to it so you can play them with the freespace 2 physics, that does work. search for Knossos-0.14.3

Epic!
This won several Game of the Year Awards for a reason. Even by today's standards, this game leaves little to be desired. Other than some of the giant ships having that "wallpapered" detail look (but hey, this was made in like 1998 or something), this game has an easy-to-follow and outstanding storyline, fantastic gameplay, and lots of thing to customize, including HUD and the layout for your weapons and ships. There are tons of awesome controls that will take you a while to master, but it is still easily playable with just some basic targeting and movement controls they teach you in the training. For a measly six bucks, this game is the best game I've ever bought (well, Freespace 2 is equally awesome) And if that isn't enough for you, you can download the Freespace Open Installer for free, which uber enhances all the details and effects in the game. There are alos tons of free mods and extra missions online. Like I said, this is, in my book, the best game of all time, and will be for a long time to come. (plus, you don't have to have a very good computer to play this; pretty much anything under ten years old should be fine!)

The Greatest Space Sim Ever Made
My first foray into the space fighter sim genre wasn't Freespace - it was Wing Commander 8: Prophecy. While I enjoyed that game, it left me hungering for more; when I came across a budget jewel case bundle (which I still have) of the original Freespace and it's expansion, Silent Threat, I was hooked. This game has it all. Smooth controls. Mysterious and sinister aliens. Humanity at it's worst (the conspiracy of Silent Threat) and at it's best (the GTA's assistance and rescue of the Vasudan's after the destruction of their homeworld). I replayed the mission where the Galatea is brutally destroyed by the Lucifer something like twelve times, I was so determined to save that ship from it's fate. Freespace has never been topped in my opinion. I've played a lot of space sims, ever since Wing Commander whet my appetite, and Freespace raised the bar - but none have ever quite captured the mix of story, action, and sheer thrill that Freespace gives me every time I strap into the cockpit of the Valkyrie interceptor. If you've never played it, you owe it to yourself to give this a try, even if you're not normally a space sim player. Freespace might just change your mind.

Wine? Seriously?
You have the gall to sell me a game as a Mac OS X version which is essentially just the Windows version running on Wine? GOG, I'm done with you guys.

I'm no space sim fanatic...
... but this game truly stands out. Damn is this game good. It takes itself pretty seriously but, unlike other games who attempt the same thing, this one actually succeeds at it by being both believable and engaging! You aren't held by the hand, like *many* modern games to date, but rather "trained" at becoming a successful space dogfighter. The cool thing is that nothing feels like a chore. During a mission you'll get to: + escort ships + analyze cargo + disarm freighters 20 times your size + destroy many alien enemy squads + lock on and evade missiles (the former with the use of decoys called "counter-measures") + issue commands to your squads in real time and more! Does it sound complex? Well, yeah, it is a little but it's definitely manageable! Trust me. As I said in the title, I'm no sim fanatic: I usually find simulators to be a grind (requiring hours upon hours of studying before you can actually get accustomed to the game), but not this game. I picked it up, didn't read the manual for it, followed the 3 basic tutorial missions and I was ready to go. The missions felt balanced enough to make me learn more along the way, but that's not all. The story and cutscenes are well constructed, with an exceptional voice acting (in my humble opinion), and you actually feel curious to discover what's going to happen next. Admitedly the plot isn't all that fresh, with a sort of Starcraft vibe to it, but by no means should this make the game feel unoriginal. I'm probably past half-way of the story (I still haven't touched the expansion yet) and I'm loving every part of it; with ambushes and surprises around every corner. I'm legitimately hooked. If that's not enough to keep you glued on the screen then the medals sure will. For each mission that you complete you receive a briefing with either a commendation for your success or reprimand for your failures; making every action feel like it has an impact! This shouldn't discourage you however because, if you fail in any way, the game comes to the rescue by giving you some tips to complete the game successfully by clicking on the "recommendations" button (IIRC). This way you get the feeling of being in command of a genuine mission without being constantly spoon fed while playing. How refreshing! Not only that, but if you manage to complete the bonus missions you receive various medals which, oddly enough for me, "feel" like you deserved them. ========= Conclusion ========= This game is awesome and should be played at all costs. I have played it with a keyboard and found it not bad but, let me tell you... I decided to give it a go with an XBox360 compatible controller (more precisely the Thrusmaster GP XID) and... it... is... AWESOME! I've managed to map almost every single keyboard command on the controller by using Xpadder (except for the squad communication commands and energy/shield controls, which are easy to spot on the keyboard) and the level of immersion is fantastic. I managed to rake in 16 kills with no sweat and it feels great. It's been a while since the last time I've felt this way for a game so, for the last time, I urge you to: BUY THIS GAME! IT IS WORTH EVERY PENNY!
