I've played many Space Games: Elite, ProtoStar, Privateer 1&2, The Wing Commander Series, Freelancer w/ different Mods, Dark Star One, Space Trader, and then I picked up a copy of Freespace2. As good as all the previous Space-based games are...so is Freespace 2. If you like the adventures of Space based gaming, then you will also add Freespace2 to your collection. I did recently and I am extremely pleased with my decision. Additionally, I've purchased additional copies for my friends and neighbors. Why should I have all the fun? Following the story line makes this Sim worthy of adding it to your Sim Game Collections. You will not be disappointed!
