Freespace 2

I discovered the series a long time ago in an unlikely way: A mod called Beyond the Red Line (now discontinued) had three action packed BSG levels I played quite a bit. A few months later, I found The Babylon Project, and soon discovered that the two mods were based on the same engine. I looked into the game and finally on August 28, 2009, I gave in. Now, at that point, I was a rather good player, but I had developed a knack for finishing whole campaigns in one sitting. Having a good joystick at my side, and a level head in combat, I dove into the first game. Truly amazing stuff. Sure, the resolution was low (640 x 480) but it was still a blast to play. I moved on to Freespace 2, before I decided to get FS Open, and play the games AGAIN with updated graphics. I don't think I've found a game I play more frequently than this. The only drawback is that the multiplayer service is rarely, if ever used. I have yet to play a single online game, but the concept intrigues me. Buy. This. Game. With FS_Open, the replay value is almost limitless with great mods like Blue Planet, FSPort, Just Another Day, and others. PLAY THE FREAKING GAME! DOO IIIT!

i grew up on this game and frankly i cried the day my disks stopped working the only other copy was a collectors box on ebay for like 300 bucks i am glad to see someone is snapping up these old clasics and redistributing them for the next generation. but i have freespace to thank for my piloting skills. recently i started playing a game called eternal silence and frankly freespace is what gave me the ability to have a 10 - 1 kill ratio in space sims. sadly the other players realised that i suck at fps and now keep sniping be before i can get into the interceptors XD. but freespace is was an will always be great game

Freespace 2 plays like a great sci-fi novel. It has mystery, adventure and great action against insurmountable odds. You have to play to believe it.

This game is incredible. I remember playing the demo as a kid and I've been looking for the full version for years now. Thanks to GOG, I finally have it! Its gorgeous and runs well on Win7 x64. Thanks GOG!!!

I originally bought this game years ago and was impressed. Recently I saw it on GoG and decided to replay. This game still captures players who want a new and different type of storyline, epic space battles and interactive experiences. Rated one of PC Gamer's top 100 great games of all time.
