I remember playing this game about a week after it came out and I was hooked. Where the story in Wing Commander got a bit weak after #3, the story here was actually pretty good. The graphics were top notch and still don't look bad even today. The dogfighting was fast and furious. One of the great parts of this game is that winning/losing a missing has consequences rather than just "you lose" or "next mission in line". An all around intense game, a very fun game and a must-have for space sim armchair pilots. And you cannot miss Freespace 2 either...
