Good presentation, repetitive gameplay.
This is the last installment of the series and well, it looks good but some problems typical of the series as a whole tend to show in force plus a couple of new ones. The story is simple, with a few nice touches reminiscent of what was in Wing Commander IV even though they don't influence the overall plot much (which is more or less the first Freespace without the lovecraftian dread but with a b-movie vibe, alien invaders come through portal and shoot everybody and so on), the FMVs are good quality, the production values are similar to WCIV, and it's nice to see Mark Hamill playing a wise mentor guy twenty years before the new Star Wars movies. The graphics are nice and colorful with early 3D accelleration support, very nice to look at even now in its simplicity thanks to the ability to up the resolution on modern machines. The game has throttle and rudder support, though only on one device (which can be remedied nowadays with plenty of utilities either first or third party). While there are a few interesting innovations (like an interceptor with a booster for emergency interception and cluster missiles) the gameplay is VERY repetitive, it doesn't help that the enemy fighters are very hard to kill (they take a lot of hits even from the most poweful weapons), liberally abuse the afterburner and come literally in droves which is a problem since in these games afterburner fuel is limited and it's easy to run out of it. In general the game feels very padded: many missions have you go to a series of navpoints and destroy wave after wave of fighters before moving on, I came out of many missions positively tired, it felt even more repetitive than WCIII which was already really repetitive. There is also a personal pet peeve of mine: if you want to regulate shields, weapons and engine energy you have to use a weird triangle icon that monopolizes your stick, rendering almost impossible to use it in combat. It's a good game overall but it's no Freespace or Tie Fighter.
