As a lot people out there, I had played this after previous 4 Wing Commanders. And althought Chris Robert was not involved in doing this one, it still terrific. It's actually became more strategic, and you get to see epic battles, instead of usual small scirmishes WC-style. So now it is more akin to Tie-Fighter and Freespace. The plot is not as thrilling and dramatic as in previous games, but the acting is still good and engaging. Couple of advices for new ones: 1. Don't forget , that you can switch targets in map mode, while the game is paused. Immensively helps in this pesky escort mission we all "love" so much. 2. Grab the fan patches for this one, wcnews have a lot of them. I don't think this release already have them, but DVD movies patch and OpenGL patch are a must!
