Descent: Freespace Battle Pack
Description
The heartless Shivans emerged through subspace near Earth, harboring technology light years ahead of anything seen before. They made no attempt to communicate. They did not respond to your heralds. They simply attacked and destroyed everything in their path.
As a pilot for the Galactic Terran Alliance (GTA) you are no stranger to war. But when racing through space to engage your new enemy for the first time, you sense something different. Suddenly, darkness blankets your craft. Your stomach sinks as your eyes pan across the Shivan flagship's massive body. Then it begins. Swarms of fighters pour from the belly of the flagship and scream towards you. You are about to discover everything you thought you knew about space combat just changed.
This is the beginning of The Great War.

Stars are for the expansion
the reason i give this three stars is for the expansion. I am going to be very clear about this. The expansion SUCKS! as for the main freespace campaign, its good but not as good as Freespace 2. The last level is a bit over the top in my opinion and the difficulty was too high on normal ( i dont like playing on easy). So i give the main campaign a 4/5 while i give the expansion a -4.5 out of 5 (notice the negative symbol). For 6 dollars this game is definitely worth it.

Fun but not quite there
Its hard to write a negative review for any game, easier is to highlight good points or bash any errors... The focus of the game is in the fighter vs fighter arena, there is practially only ONE fight between capital ships, this translates into a big flaw... No EPIC battles: If you ever played TIE Fighter, you will know what it means to fight between three or four capital ships firing each other. Plus the story is kind of cheesy.

Game doesnt launch
This was a very fun game back in the day. However, I cant get it to launch on windows 10 and its too much trouble to try to research and figure it out. Easier to move on to other games. If you are a casual buyer I would recommend giving it a pass simply because of compatibility issues.
