I think Freespace 2 is definetely one of the best spacesims I've ever played. This game has almost everything what a real spacesim require: huge dreadnoughts and very lethal weapons( like infamous bean cannons and flak turrets), very impressive graphics & sound and ofcourse a great plot!!! Though Freespace: The Great War was more concentrated on the gameplay than on story, Freespace 2 has it both!! You play as a pilot, who is only know as Alpha 1, fighting for The Galactic Terran-Vasudan Alliance against a rasict faction The Neo-Terran Front, when suddenly your greatest nemesis, The Shivans return! Is this a coincidense???? You will find the answers through a number of very challenging missions!! My only small complain about this game is your wingmen! In each mission you get the same wingmen, which like you, don't have a name or a callsign! I'm sure the guys from Interplay could have done better!! But it's a great game and I certainly recommend it too all fans of Wing Commander and Starlancer!!
