FreeSpace 2 - Star Raiders Grows Up - And How

by jag2112 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Apr 26 '01
Pros: Unbelievable Graphics and Game Play, Fantastic Ambient Sound.
Cons: Hardware intensive.
The year was 1979.

'Home Computers' wasn't even a term yet.

Video games were in their infancy - literally.

Most of the games coming out were derivatives of Pong, or Space Invaders or Asteroids...

But along...

Robust space-combat sim

by kyuushu , Sep 26 '01
Pros: Great interface, excellent gameplay, amazing graphics
Cons: Some missions are too difficult
Freespace 2 is a fun, encompassing, and robust space-combat game. The gameplay is similiar to games of the Wing Commander series, but much deeper and refined. In fact, it's probably one of the best playing 3D combat games around. And despite the fact...

KABOOM!!!!!!!

by steakphish , Jun 08 '01
Pros: Sweet graphics, easy controls, VERY intuitive.
Cons: No real changes from the first in terms of gameplay. Tedious at times.
The first time I played Freespace 2 was in a demo which included 2 missions, one in each enviorment. I must have played the demo 20 times ove because the graphics were just amazing. Then I go out and try to find the game. No luck. I see Freespace 1,...

"Free Space" off of your desk for this game!

by rsoutham , Aug 31 '01
Pros: Good gameplay, Great graphics and sound, good plot
Cons: not THAT original
Thirty-two years have passed since you destroyed the Lucifer. Back then, you tore up its reactors and made it go nova as it exited the SOL jump node, cutting off Earth from the rest of the cosmos. Thirty-two years after you sat on your heiny to bask in...

Give Me Freespace or Give Me Death. Or Both.

by Daystorm , Aug 21 '00
Pros: Beautiful graphics, interesting story, great voice acting and sound effect and all around interstellar fun
Cons: A little lackluster in the story because of a lack of personality, FMV's a little on the poor side
When Origin first released Wing Commander, it proved a groundbreaking game, pushing the limits of the PC and bringing about a new experience in interactive entertainment.

I loved it. Finally, a sim game that didn't suffer from poor, boring...

The Best PC Game Ever

by macenthe , Jun 04 '00
Pros: Fantasitic Game Play, Beautiful Graphics, Terrific Sound, Just Plain Awsome
Cons: Cons? What Cons?
I originally didn't think much of this game when I first bought it. I never played the first Decent: Freespace game, so I had no idea what I was really getting into with this one. I got it mainly because a few friends of mine got the game and according...

One of the finest games of all time!

by magusxiii , Jul 06 '01
Pros: Excellent storyline, top notch action, easy learning curve, BEAUTIFUL GRAPHICS!!
Cons: Lackluster ending, needs high end hardware.
Freespace 2 is one of those games that any fan of the space combat genre MUST HAVE! It is THAT GOOD! If you have owned or played any of the Colony Wars titles for the Playstation, multiply them by a factor of 100 in every department and you have...

Its just a game... It's just a game..

by stillwaddup , Oct 28 '00
Pros: Everything.....
Cons: ....except multi-player.
Volition dam well knew it was a bad idea to mess with a good thing. In fact, it was beyong good, it was sacred. Descent: Freespace was such a kick a$$ game that when I was done with it, I just kind of sulked back into and heaved a sigh that indicated...

FreeSpace 2 - All they caimed it would be and more!

by zero_c , May 22 '00
Pros: Graphics, Sound, Storyline, Controls, Movies, Interface, "Feeling"
Cons: Multiplayer, (one is one too many)
I, like many others, was drawn in by the reviews, the advertising, and mostly the demo, of FreeSpace - The Great War. It was an excellent game. Never before had I seen anything like it - it was nearly a perfect game (if there is such a thing)....

The Best Space Sim Ever

by Tarkon , Mar 31 '00
Pros: Excellent gameplay, graphics, and sound
Cons: Poor performance on slower machines
As you may have noticed by my title, I am an extreme fan of Freespace 2. This game, based on the popular and addicting Freespace: The Great War (which I also love), is the example that all software companies should use for writing and building their...

FreeSpace 2: Descent into greatness...

by SheerDark , Feb 09 '00
Pros: Excellent story, graphics, and varity of missions
Cons: Um... System requirments can be a tad steep, but that's hardly a complaint.
When the original Descent: Freespace came out, some people had their doubts--This was a brand new territory for Interplay, and a lot of times first steps can prove to be bad ones. But, with impressive visuals and an excellent game design, the first...

The Half-Life of Sci-Fi Sims (Official Sci-Fi Sim of 1999)

by Starslayer , Jul 02 '00
Pros: It was created, distributed and reviewed by me.
Cons: If there were some, they'd be here. But since there's none....
Star Wars, Star Trek, Allegiance, Wing Commander, Titan A.E. and Apollo 13 can all move the hell over. The FreeSpace Universe is now the current "Sci-Fi Everything" champion of the world. If a grade of 20 out of 5 were possible, I'd give it to...

Freespace2 Squad Wars

by rn_vertigo , Jan 24 '00
Pros: Squad War Can be fun at times with certian missions being played.
Cons: Delays in games getting started due to lack of organization, and cheap missions that give the adavantage to one team.
Descent's Freespace 2 is a over all great game. The graphics are awesome, the plot is interesting, and the ships/weapons choices are expanded much more than any other space sim I have seen. The online play could use a few more co-op missions and to...
