Descent: Freespace Battle Pack

A really cool game for space sim addicts like me, the expansion is a little buggy, but playable.. IMO, StarLancer and Tachyon (The Fringe) are way better in graphics and story line. I wish GOG would add these two great games to their arsenal.. FS2 is another thing though.. Don't get me wrong, FS1 is very cool. If you're into these kind of games, get it without hesitation!

The best space sim EVER...

Played Freespace 1 years ago and felt it was a real treat - and bought 1+2 on this site. To my surprise, the graphics still hold up - sure the game doesn't have bump mappng and parallax mapping and all that goodness - but the models are nice and the only time you might feel the graphics lacking is on the big ships where the texture is not so pretty. But besides that - the small ships look ok, the explosions are great, the effects are great - the atmosphere and gameplay is awesome! But if this review put you down on the graphics side - I woyuld still want you to try it out - why? Because the Indie-scene isn't that much better alot of the games graphic wise, but they argue instead for better feeling, atmosphere and so on - if you are an indie game person then you must give this space sim classic, made by a big studio, a chance!

i have tried many games old and new,trying to find a space sim as good as the wing commander series is to me.some are more advanced, some have huge galaxies,but none have the stories or atmosphere i was looking for, until i found freespace great frikkin game man!!!! i can't wait to finish so i can get freespace 2.

They don't make them like this anymore. This is just a space shooter. No economy, no grind, nothing. Start the game, fly, shoot. The campaign is nice, the lore is also nice. The music is okay. The voice acting is good. The graphics are a bit dated, but still work quite well. This was a great game at the time and still holds up.
