In terms of gameplay, Freespace 2 is basically a 'bigger and better' Freespace. Being able to think "at the seat of the pants" to quickly adapt to changing circumstances is the key to winning in Freespace 2. Even during the missions themselves, your objectives may suddenly change when new backstory-related developments take place. The game's emphasis on the plot is not just window-dressing, either: as in Wing Commander, your choices as well as mission successes and failures determine how the plot will develop, and ultimately what ending you will see. Frequent cutscenes made with rendered graphics are captivating, especially because outstanding voice acting makes them as absorbing to watch as real-life actors in Origin's Wing Commander IV. Pre-mission elements such as the briefing session and ship configuration are superbly presented, with a lot of details and options to choose from. You play a member of the GTVA, a Human-Vasudan alliance which is fighting a group of human rebels who call themselves the NTF.įreespace 2 improves upon the excellent Freespace in every respect. The game begins with an alliance of humans and alien Vasudans attempting to rebuild their armies 32 years after the end of 'The Great War,' the battles of which were the subject of Freespace. In fact, in my humble opinion the fun factor of Freespace 2 far surpasses that of Prophecy Gold, the last Wing Commander game, by a considerable margin. The strong emphasis on plot development combined with spectacular graphics and story-based missions make Freespace 2 a worthy contender to Origin's more well-known Wing Commander games. Undoubtedly one of the best 3D space combat games ever made, Freespace 2 by Volition is a superb space opera of epic proportions.
