You can't go wrong.Įxcellent cockpit and graphics, cap ships that makes sense, LOTS of multiplayer options, lots of missions, full mission/campaign editor, It's a completely original space sim in which three species have at eachother with their own squadron of unique fighters, bombers, cruisers and the occasional destroyer. There is very little bad that could be said about this game. There's this one aggravating mission that I simply can not beat. I'm working on my own campaign with it as I write this. The game even comes with a mission editor called FRED, which is really great. There is a nice selection of ships, each with their own unique traits and appearances (unlike those stupid TIE whatevers and whatnot) allowing three different species to duke it out in style. I constantly find myself actually yelling "Haha! Take that, you damn space invader from hell!" after blowing up an enemy craft. The game play is quite smooth and the story line is riveting. I just happened to pick this game up off some shelf at a local software store and, well, WOW. Well, I was getting EXTREMELY tired of playing those monotonous old Star Wars space sims. If you're looking for fast and furious space-based action, I can heartily recommend this game. It takes time to get the hang of it, maybe a too much time for those not a fan of the genre. On top of all this, Freespace comes with a very good and easy to use editor, allowing you to create your own missions in no time. It gives you all the info you need, without cluttering the screen or reducing the size of your view-point. The AI is decent aswell, as in if you blow up a capital ship (a cruiser, for example), that ship won't be there to bother you again.Īnother thing that I loved (after getting used to it), was the very simple yet elegant cockpit HUD-display. Not only did the graphics display perfectly (without any noteable glitches), they were also very nice to look at. I played it on my old system, a P200MMX w/Hercules Thriller gfx-card and 64MB memory, and it blew me away. And I mean both the in-game speed feeling, aswell as in display terms. Also dann: Auf in die Schlacht Kameraden, es darf wieder einmal für die Freiheit und das Überleben gekämpft werden!įreespace is fast, very very fast. Wer die schwächere Präsentation verschmerzen kann, wird einen interstellaren Krieg bekommen, der den Spieler sofort in seinen Bann zieht. Für Fans des Genres bietet Freespace alles, was einen potentiellen Hit ausmacht: Eine ausgereifte Story, sehr gutes Gameplay und interessante Raumschlachten, die so manchen Piloten ins Schwitzen bringen werden. Wars oder auch an die Raumgefechte in Babylon 5 erinnert. Die Gefechte sind hektisch und ich wurde oft an Star Endlich bin ich der Herr meiner Ausrüstungsgegenstände. Auch die Möglichkeit, das Equipment selbst zusammenzustellen gefiel mir ausgesprochen gut. Auch wenn die WC-Reihe gerade durch die grandiosen Effekte und die ausgreiften Filmsequenzen zu beeindrucken weiß, kontert Descent: Freespace mit einer besseren und spannenderen Story sowie abwechslungsreicheren Missionen.
