This has got to be the best space fighter simulators I've ever played. The plot is engaging, the gameplay is extremly intuitive (along with very useful training missions, which you could skip if you want to), and it is just fun.
Another great feature is the FRED mission editor. It is the same one used by the game's designers, and enables you to create your own missions. It's also very intuitive, and gives you lots of options to make your missions as good as or better than the originals.
Any downsides? Well, the space flight isn't very realistic (when the ships turn, the velocity changes so the ship is always pointing in the direction it's traveling, rather than in real life, where you could be traveling in one direction, but pointed in another). Of course, if they made Freespace to act like real space, the game wouldn't be anywhere near as fun. (To see how space travel is REALLY like, download Orbiter).

this game is one of the best computer games i've ever seen. the movie clips, especially the opening clip, have pretty good graphics. the plot is that the terrans are in a "war" with the vasudans when the shivans, a species of freaky five legged walking weapons with even better guns and shields, come in and kick both of their a$$es. you get a cornucopia(look it up) of valuable weapons, and there is no dearth(that one too) of available ships. your wingmen are smart, and you can give specific commands to one fighter, one wing, or everyone on your side. if you have an old computer and are worried about lag, i have it on a 1995 gateway computer, windows 98 and it runs great. i highly recommend this game to anyone.

this game is very strategetic and exciting you dont know whats going to happen. I love this game soooo much I play it almost every week when I dont have to study for any tests.I am addicted to this game that whenever I dont get a medal for each mission i play the mission over until i get a medal.I know that this has lots of violence and fighting against aliens or some odd mechanical robots and right of the back you know this is a boy game but guess what i am a girl and i LOVE this game.i am desperately trying to find freespace 2 in shops.the best game ever!!

If you like Lucas Art's TIE Fighter or X Wing then you'll love this game, it has a very captivating storyline that pulls you into the game.
The game's graphics are not wonderful, but aren't the worst I have seen, but you rarely take time to notice as you are normally involved in some good combat, the hud is customizable to a degree, unlike some other space sims. The weapons are unique but the missles are pretty much left to be used on capital ships only later in the game. As you progress later in the game it becomes an all out fragfest and a series of "protect the" missions that can become rather hard and irritating if you paly them for the first time.
I do tohugh, still recomend this game to anyone, too bad Interplay went out of business so the only way to get it is used.....but its still a good game to have...

I have played many space-combat style games in my life, but none as good as this.
It's better than X-Wing, better than even the original Wing Commander (and that's saying something). This game features tons of cool missions which actually change objectives mid-mission (and sometimes are intentionally impossible to accomplish), all in the name of wondrous storytelling. The graphics are marvelous, even by today's standards, with perfect glowing particle explosions and neat shield-hit and hyperspace jump effects. The sounds are sweet (full of crunchy explosions and searing laser-fire), and the cut-scenes rank among the best ever seen in a pc game (the beginning and ending cinemas are two of my favorite ever, and who can forget the phrase "We hurled outselves into the void with no fear"?).
What really makes this game shine though is the perfect controls and the awesome computer-controlled A.I. The controls are super-intuitive(featuring the best keyboard layout I've ever seen in a space-combat sim), and allow you to tell your wingmen EXACTLY what you want them to do. This wouldn't be particularly cool, except that your wingmen actually are smart, and will always try to carry out your orders. And the enemy ships aren't exactly idiots either (resulting in that one bogey leading you away from your objectives instead of endless waves mindless enemies like you see so often nowadays). After many years of space combat (and considering the fact that I still keep a copy on my hard drive after all these years), I have come to the conclusion that this is the best space-combat game ever. I like it ever more than it's sequel (which DID feature better graphics but not a better storyline). A definite must-have on ANY PC gamer's list.
