Freespace 2
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...

Consumed by the atmosphere...
First I was absolutely delighten by the game's intro and soundtrack. Then the visuals, story and fights. Finished the first Freespace just a few weeks before playing no.2. I loved the continuity and many new features. What I stil remember from Freespace 2 is the soundtrack and great "tough" voiceacting (Admiral Petrarch? I am not sure about the name but I loved it). I have used the Freespace lines in my English classes in high school :-) but had oscillating success with the teachers - Our school was not a military academy after all :-)... My quest to get it was also memorable - It was not released in Czech republic and I had to buy it from the UK. No UK shop at the time was shipping to Czech so I had to persuade (using persuadentron, of course :-) my UK friend to buy it and send it to me (sent him cash in an envelope - no paypal then :-). It was a great service for me and I never will forget his brave deeds. NOW I REALLY HAD TO BUY THIS GREAT BUNDLE OF BOTH FREESPACE 1 and 2 and Re-Live it again with all the sweet mods and additional goodies. 5 of 5 stars - That's and order. Thanks GOG!!!

The Best Space Combat Sim EVER!
There is no word or phrase to describe the beauty and perfection of Freespace 2, it was the beginning and the end of the best space combat simulators in the whole of gaming history. It's up-to-this day an experience worth every dollar and every hour of your time to witness and joyfully play in all of it's glory.

The best.
I played this game years ago with my buddies, but then we all upgraded our machines and lost all this old stuff. It's so great to have found a copy of this floating around!!!
