Description
Freespace 2 includes the FRED2 editor available in the installation directory of the game.

The year is 2367, thirty two years after the Great War. Or at least what YOU thought was the Great War. The seemingly endless tide of Shivan capital ships, bombers and fighters with super advanced technology was nearly overwhelming.

As the Terran and Vasudan races finish rebuilding their decimated societies, a disturbance lurks in the not-so-far reaches of the Gamma Draconis system.

Your nemesis has arrived... and they are wondering what happened to their scouting party...

Bring back the space combat

The first free space was amazing, this one took all the things of the first one and made it better and it was the last best space-combat-sim to ever be released. If I had to pick one old game to get a sequel it would be this one. Here is to volition taking up this series again.

Never Gets Old

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.

No need to think twice.

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.
