Freespace 2

I really was hoping to play this game... But I cannot get it to run on Win7. Compatibility modes fail. And since I'm using home premium, I cant use XP mode. Sadness.

Bought a SLEW of classic games all at once, only to find I wasted $30+ on games that don't run on Windows7. Don't make that mistake

This game have received a lot of praise over the years, and I enjoyed it as well. Still, there's some flaws at this game. Basically, it's a space shooter, and a great one as well. it never gets too complex, most of the missions is just "shoot the bad guys and make sure we don't get hurt"... One problem is the overall universe and plot, which is narrated some extremely boring briefings, that you will want to skip instead of plowing through long pages of space-military-blah blah forever. Other than that, pretty nice game, and do yourself and install FSopen, that will improve the graphics radically, and give you the opportunity to play new campaigns.

Call me when its $5, not 9.99.

Read the reviews and was expecting something great for a space sim game. I was disappointed. The graphics were worse than Freespace and the gameplay and missions weren't any different or improved at all. This ended up being more of a rehash of Freespace and nothing more. Good thing i didn't have to pay much for this or i'd actually be mad about it. Back to Freelancer and Mechwarrior.
