Freespace 2

I was blessed to have a dad who bought the big box copy back when it was released. To this day nothing comes close to how sensational this game is. The music, effects, story, graphics and everything else is absolutely fantastic. One reccomendation is that anymore who buys this checks out the Freespace 2 Open project as to this day they are improving the game engine and mission editor and after playing with the mods the game looks like it has been made this year. Cannot rate this game highly enough.

Brilliant game, might actually force me into buying a joystick! It's a shame that I played the X Series before this though, I would've seen it for what it truly is!

This game is incredible! Gameplay is fantastic and the storyline is top notch! You must play this game! Actually, because the story is a continuation from Freespace: The Great War, play that first. Then play this game! Also, be sure to check out the graphical enhancements freely available with the FS_Open mod and all of the great fan built campaigns. Go to www.hard-light.net and use the installer package they provide. It will give you fantastic graphical updates and dozens of hours worth of quality campaigns.

Freespace 2 offers the best space-based storyline ever created, fast-paced action and, even now, beautiful graphics. A must-have for absolutely all people who enjoy a good story and like computer games.

Definitely the best in it's genre. Not only a great simulator but a climactic story (much better than SC), and it's just a load of fun. I would definitely buy if I didn't have my original CDs. One of the best game purchases I made.
