Descent: Freespace: The Great War Review

I love the genre and the style of the game, but I think it may be showing some cracks around the edges. I think the technology has caught up with this version of the game, and it is just a bit buggy in the world of XP and Vista.
Still, the game is beautiful, and I am enjoying it, I just think that Freespace 2 might be a bit more on the software curve that is in line with the machines of today.
If you have 98 or XP, this game is still a winner. If you have Vista, then you may want to wait until Windows 7 comes out so you can use the XP mode to run fun games.

One of the best space sims I've played - F. Lambert - Northern CA, USA
I would have to say that this is one of the best space sims out there. I have owned this game since it came out in the 90's and even with all of the great advances in graphics it still remains competitive with the newer technologies. This game has a great storyline with tons of different ships and weapons to use. I would highly recommend this game to everyone that likes space based games. I would also recommend that anyone planning on getting this game invest in a good joystick since it is much much harder to play using only your keyboard.
