Freespace 1 + 2 Both fantastic space sims.
As far as the game goes, Freespace series are the best campaign oriented, mission driven space sims ever. Period. BUT READ THIS FIRST. IF YOU ARE LOOKING TO APPLY THE MODERNITY UPGRADE FOR GRAPHICS VIA THE FREESPACE OPEN PROJECT, DO NOT BUY FREESPACE 1. THE ENTIRETY OF FREESPACE 1 (CAMPAIGN + SILENT THREAT MISSIONS) IS INCLUDED IN THE FREESPACE OPEN PROJECT'S GRAPHICAL UPDATE OF FREESPACE 2. IF YOU UPGRADE FREESPACE 2'S GRAPHICS WITH THAT MOD PROJECT, IT WILL INCLUDE FS1'S CAMPAIGN -AND- THE SILENT THREAT MISSIONS. With that said Freespace 2 uses what is now an older game structure of a mission by mission system rather than an open world. I wouldn't call it inferior to open worlds, just different, and I wish games nowadays would employ it more often. Not only is it a full on space sim ala Xwing vs Tiefighter, but commanding your wingmates is just as important as the actions you take on your own. With the FSO update the graphics are beautiful and modernised. They completed the project in 2014 or so, and upgraded all the sounds, graphics, music even the main screens. But even without it, it still does more than a good enough job. The world is tight and concise and you know who you're fighting and why the entire time. The storyline is a classic one (During a war with normal enemy A -> crazy enemy B surfaces making the old threat look like a joke.) but it's well told through briefings, debriefings and the occasional CGI cutscene (also greatly improved as part of FSO's project). So as a whole, buy it. But if you're even considering applying the modernised graphics and sound updates make sure you only buy FS2 so you don't waste ten dollars. Unless you want FS1 for other reasons. OH And last but not least the FRED mission editor is a great way to learn boolean logic, it's easy to script events in and easy to create missions. I had great fun with it even as someone who usually doesn't create missions. And that's it. 10/10 The Great War was, in fact, Great.
