Video Game Reviews of Freespace 2: Sci-Fi Sim of the Year
Customer Review: Best Space Sim Hands Down
Summary: 5 Stars
Freespace 2 is, hands down, the best space fighting sim I have ever played. The fact that it still has a vibrant community and a plethora of people making custom missions for it attests to its greatness. But even more so, the Source Code Project, undertaken by the community, has worked to bring the graphics of the game up to modern standards. Wow. Really, buy this game, it's worth it.
Description of Freespace 2: Sci-Fi Sim of the Year
Are there any computer and video game players that haven't dreamed of piloting an intergalactic starfighter against an overwhelming enemy assault? Perhaps there are--but if you share that dream, you can live the vision, at least in computer game form, with Interplay's high-octane space combat simulation FreeSpace 2.Placing you in the role of a nameless, but extremely able, Terran pilot, FreeSpace 2 continues the complex story first introduced in its predecessor, Descent FreeSpace: The Great War. Over 30 years have passed, but the nefarious, spiderlike Shivan race continues to threaten Earth and its peaceful ally, the Vasudan Empire.
Over the course of 30 new single-player missions, a dynamic tale of both civil war and armageddon unfolds; the improved storyline is just one of several sequel improvements. FreeSpace 2 implements the most impressive 3-D graphics of any space-combat simulation to date--prepare to feast on mammoth capital ships, missile trails, detailed ships, and eye-opening, screen-filling explosions. Many FreeSpace 2 missions occur within dense nebulae. The immersive, clouded environment offers intense dogfighting gameplay to match the dazzling visuals. When you're finished with the single-player campaign, hop online and compete against others, in both team and solo warfare, on Volition's online service. --Doug Radcliffe
Interplay successfully eluded the "sophomore slump" with the 1999 release of Freespace 2. After great critical acclaim, Freespace 2: Sci-Fi Sim of the Year builds on the success of its predecessors, adding over 20 missions and allowing one to create, customize, and even exchange single-player and multiplayer scenarios with FRED 2, the new and improved mission editor. - Up to 12 players can battle in dogfight, team vs. team (up to 8 players), and cooperative missions via LAN, TCP/IP, or modem. New scenarios include flying with Vasudan squadrons, piloting advanced stealth fighters, and "painting" targets with TAG (Target Acquisition and Guidance) missiles. An in-depth combat system enables players to target and destroy subsystems, disabling engines, defensive turrets, missile batteries, and fighter bays.
