On all accounts an upgrade of Freespace 1. When you're looking for something quite similar to Wing Commander. Although you won't find any character defining on carrier banter between pilots in this game, FS2 is extremely focused on space dog fighting against small and big foes alike. And it excels in them. With a gripping story, diverse mission objectives and plenty of spectacle. Just an fantastic game all around that has withstood the test of time. Use the Knossos launcher to run the game. Recommended is the mod that improves the graphics. Rating: 9.0/10
This is a really good game, i started playing this i was maybe 12 years old, im 28 and i stillplay from time to time, the graphics doesnt matter, the load of action is realllyyyy fun. WARNING, it doesnt work on every pc, idk why but sometime i install it and there is no way to lunch the game, and other times i can play.

One of the finest space combat sims every made with tons of community missions campaigns and games thanks to the fantastic people that has formed around the source port FS Open. The original campaign is highly reocmmeded if you like flying between big space ships wiping each other out with huge laser beams. Missionsign is mostly great despite a few annoying escort missions. The Steam version is barely working out of the box, GOG version is superior from an "ease of use" perspective. It doesn't matter though if you go for the community prohjects. I absolutely recommend to get FS Open all other mods) via the Knossos launcher. FS Open is also recommended to get this game working with modernizations and improvements on all fronts. MediaVPS is upgrading visualy and sound to modern standards and breathing new life into the game. CHeck you YouTube, it is simply stunning. If you use FS Open it's simple to setup either keyboard & mouse or controller for proper gameplay but I highly reocmmend any kind of joystick to get going. Sadly the games price set by Interplay is completely insane, same on GOG. The have inflated the prices on all there classic games. All cheap keys are gone. And it never seems to go on sale these days. The game has been 6 dollars for over a decade. Developer Volition has been closed by Embracer. Make you own decisions based on this.
This is the best spaceship simulator ever made. I started with first Freespace before I entered my teenage years, and later on when I found Star Trek, I fell in love with this game even more. Dreams and reality came to life when cruising my ship side by side with capital ship and escorting freighters through contested areas against the Shiva's. RiP Volition, the company that changed every gamers love for space adventures and (almost) made their dreams come to life.
i have installed this game to external drive but it kept saying that the game cannot run from drive root directory? what does it mean?
Although this game came out a long time ago, it really challenges your brain, hand eye coordination and strategic abilities. Graphics are above par for those times. You are the squadron leader, so you can give out orders and lead, or just fight as a disorganized group :D
Kontrolleri çok eski kafalı olduğu ve ben de yeni şeyler öğrenmek için aşırı yaşlı olduğumdan pek oynayamadım. Ama bu kısacık deneyimim (Ve izlediğim oynanış videoları) bana gösterdi ki çağının teknoloji kısıtlamalarına rağmen gerek atmosfer, gerek mekanik olarak çoook başarılı bir yapım. Öyle "kas kas" kafası yok, Elite: Dangerous keşke bu özelliği de bu oyundan alsaydı. Interplay, sen ne muhteşem bir yapımcıymışsın bea.
ive played this game since i was young on every laptop or pc ive owned hence the low hours on here now new pc and steam account this game was my soul my life when i was younger i would reccomend this to anyone and everyone expecaly those who like space sims give this game a try and i promise youll fall in love with the story the game play and more and with the modding community still active to this day its still alive and itll be a long time before this game dissapears and maybie one day a company will revive the series with a new game (also to get the game runing properly) 1) Go to the directory that the game was installed in 2) Go to the 'data' folder 3) DOUBLE click on the file 'FS2.reg' 4) Click 'Yes' When asked if you want 'Registry Editor' to make a system change 5) Click 'Yes' When Registry Editor asks if you are sure you want that change 6) Click 'OK' when Reg Edit says it's done 7) Run the game and enjoy or install knossus ^w^
在steam deck上proton使用luxtorpeda即可自動安裝所需檔案並執行,終於可以回味最好玩的太空射擊遊戲了!
Kann ich das irgendwie wieder Spielbar machen oder geht es nicht mehr Mit Rechnern dieser Zeit?
