Not much to say except that i am a little disappointed in this game. I don't care that the acting is bad (very bad) or that the cut-scenes kind of stuck. Even with those the game is still fun and the story is descent. What I have a problem with are some of the bugs/lagging that i am experiencing. From other reviews it seemed the issue of bugs were fixed and maybe they were but I have experienced a few issues with this game still. Even with the random crashing (yes i tried to fix it and it crashes less but it did not stop) the game is still fun. However I have a really great computer but somehow I am having issues with poor frame rate (lag). I have also tried fixing this and again it works a little better SOME of the time. I would forgive this game its various pitfalls if it were not for the bugs/lag issues that I have had with this game. Overall disappointing game
my title pretty much explains it all.
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.
There are only a few space sims out that i enjoy alot. This is one of them. Unfortunately I have not had the pleasure of playing this games predecessor Freespace (and its expansion) however i am planning on looking into that myself. If you have ever enjoyed any space sim, this could arguably be the best. Personally it is not my favorite space sim (my favorite would be tachyon), however I would say that this space sim is the best in existence, if that makes any sense to the people who read this. Buy this game here and now. I remember looking for a retail version on amazon and it was over 40.00 bucks (only 6.00 here at G.O.G). Bottom line: BUY THIS GAME (even if you dont want to).
