One of the best!

User Rating: 10 | Descent: FreeSpace - The Great War PC
By luckjon | Review Date:
For some reason, the original FS feels more, visceral, even if it lacked hi-res polygons and stuff. This version was faster and more in your face than FS2.
After playing the demo and falling in love with the GTF Apollo design, i went out and bought this game, and loved it every since. The most memorable mission was Exodus, the 2nd to last mission where you fly to the jumpgate, and the sub-space mission. Even if i loved the Apollo, nothing beats the Valkyrie.
Even after 9 years, i still play this game thanks to the FRED editor, i always try to have 10 capital ships versus each other with 50 fighters duking it out.
Course it seems to crash after a specific number of ships you put out :(
Overall, this game belongs in anyone's space sim collection.
