Wing Commander™ 4: The Price of Freedom
Description
This version of Wing Commander™ 4: The Price of Freedom features DVD-quality cutscenes.
The year is 2673, four years after the Treaty of Torgo and the end of the Kilrathi War. As hostilities died out, more trivial concerns like rebuilding what was lost or dealing with space piracy, became the biggest concerns of the Terran Confederation. Even Christopher "Maverick" Blair, the famous Confed pilot responsible for ending the war, settled down and became a farmer. In these times of peace, humans grew fat and complacent. All good things must end, though. Soon enough, heinous incidents erupted on the outskirts of the Confederation, and humanity was forced to the brink of civil war. Confed HQ needed the best and decided to recall Colonel Blair to active duty.
This is where you come in.

One of those games that suck you in...
... there are only a few that manage to keep you as glued to your screen as WC4 does. You WANT to know how the story continues. What will be the next plot development? Who will be an unexpected ally, whose of your friends might be a traitor? While no element of this description sounds original to any gamer (or movie buff, for that matter), WC4 executes the storyline to perfection. It is up there with some of the best adventure games (think Tex Murphys Pandora Directive or the Last Express), and it shows how FMV is done right. Professional actors (Luke Skywalker, the guy from Clockwork Orange, Gimli the Dwarf and the dude from West Wing, to name only a few!) and slick directing do an amazing job to deliver the story to you. Plus, the game is an amazing space sim on top of that! I did my first playthrough on one of the easier difficulties because I was DYING to learn more about the story. Once you got your story fill, you can replay the game and turn up the difficulty - nightmare mode will be a challenge even for the most experienced space captains!

Amazing
I've always been a huge WC fan... played all of the games, even still keep my WC3, WC4, WC5 original box sets. I can't believe I can actually download this and replay it again. Looking forward to it. :)

Best Space Combat Sim EVER!
WC IV set the standard for space combat sims. It's even a better production than that sloppy mess of a movie Hollywood rushed out the door. The gameplay, graphics, story, choices, cinematics...it all adds up to one of the most engaging and memorable gaming experiences I've ever played. I played through multiple times to see how my dialog choices affected the story arc, and I was well pleased with the different game endings.

"Maniac!?"
"Yeah, I know... but you can't say you haven't missed my sparkling repartee just a little." Even more than Heart of the Tiger, The Price of Freedom is an interactive movie experience. I always thought the flight simulation in IV is a little too... touchy. A little too augmented reality. What a movie experience though. You don't know Mark Hamill fully as an actor unless you have played, or at least watched, Wing Commander III and IV. The other actor that I have to give credit to is Tom Wilson. Maniac completes Blair. You have to see them on screen to appreciate it.
