| yeah, freespace 2 was the only space shooter i had played since tie fighter that really did it for me. very cool. wasn't too much of a fan of freelancer, i was hoping for something more like first encounters (elite 3). |

i loved freelancer! awesome space shooter, so large and heaps to explore. plus the combat was top notch.

i thought it got good reviews... atleast it did from IGN, they gave it a 9.2 in 2003.
never played freespace but i remember the first space shooter i ever played (which i absolutely adored and finished many times) was Star Crusader released in 1994! Anyone remember that? love that ! :D |

i found freelancer too arcadey and the storyline didnt really excite me. its open-ended gameplay was ok, but certainly no elite. i was happy to play it though, til i reformated and its one of those ed games that decides where it will store your savegames :rolleyes: wasnt worth playing thru again.
what we really need is an epic space fighter game. ive never seen a space game with the sheer number of units that tie fighter had. it was ridiculous. going everywhere. too many modern games have a handful of ships and thats it. lame.
what do you do when modern games run badly and you need something new to get your teeth into? go oldschool! :D
for the bargain price of $22 :) that should keep me happy til i get my core 2 duo system up and running to play NWN2. |

man so many memorable moments from playing tie fighter :D
i remember dogfighting in one mission where we were getting hammered, you are losing wingmen everywhere, all of a sudden the music changes to that ominous "something is about to happen!" part and then a star destroyer or something comes in and launches other ships and you are sitting there in front of your screen yelling "yeah! come on! cop that rebel scum!" :D
man i think i played through that game about 30 times :D |
