This is best of what is now a dead genre. Forget your wing commanders or your freelancers this is the real deal. Decent story, good cut scenes and an active community who are still improving this game 10 years after release mean that this game will still be great 10 years from now. After you buy this head over to the Hard light forums to pick up the latest Freespace 2 source code project release as well as the derelict, and freespace port mods and you will have well over 20 hours of quality entertainment for less than the cost of meal for 2 at McDonalds.
