I just finished playing Freespace 2 and I had to leave some feedback. First off, GOG has done an awesome job making this classic game work on modern hardware. I am running Win 7 64-bit with a dual core processor, 6 gigs of ram, a Soundblaster X-Fi and a flat panel monitor that has a native res. of 1680 x 1050 (the game doesn't run widescreen but will run in 4:3 at high res.). Yet, this game ran PERFECTLY. I could not have asked for smoother and more reliable game play. They guys at GOG are amazing for making this old title work so well. Even the graphics looked great. The only thing that really showed the game's age was the low polygon count, but that didn't hurt playability at all. If you are hesitating buying a GOG title because of concern about compatibility, don't! About the game itself: this is an excellent space combat sim. with a long, detailed and slowly unfolding storyline. Your combat decisions have a significant impact on how the story unfolds. Also, graphically, the game holds up well and the guys at GOG have done magic it making it reliable and smooth. If you missed this game when it was new, like I did, don't hesitate to try it out. You get many hours of great game play for your money.
