Freespace 2

Yes. Super extra special number one good looking game!

Improves in every aspect over the original, a fantastic game.

Freespace 2 is one of the best space flight games out there. With a choice of ships and weapons that gets larger as you go through the game and you can customize the ships of your squad mates as well, if you have the time or you want to. By the end of the game you will probably want the next game in the series but at the moment it seems that this may be the last good space flight sim for a while. Obviously the graphics are going to be a bit out dated by they aren't too bad. Probably a good idea for you to buy this unless you don't really like space/flight sims.

I think this is the best spacefighting game one can get!

I know I might be burned at the stake for this, but I don't find Freespace 2 to be a superior game to Freespace 1. They're both great, but Freespace 2 has some logical problems with the main story (particularly the ending), and... well, this is a personal gripe - I hated chasing bombs. Absolutely hated it. Freespace 2 recaptures the awesome thrill of Freespace 1, and the gameplay is almost identical. The missions are more varied and interesting (particularly the Special Operations ones), the story is well done, and the new weapons and tactics used to employ them greatly enhances Freespace 2 and prevents it from simply being a rehash of Freespace 1. The very last mission gives you a choice. A choice I won't spoil - but it's worth playing Freespace 2 all the way to the end just to experience it. If you're a fan of space sims, you owe it to yourself to experience the Freespace saga.
