mkreku Posted July 9, 2006 Posted July 9, 2006 I just realized that I haven't been hooked on a space simulator since Elite. On the Commodore 64 (2-3 fps rocks!). Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

SamuraiGaijin Posted July 9, 2006 Posted July 9, 2006 (edited) What are some good space sims or games with space ship to ship battles? Freelancer. Have to agree ... Freelancer is definitely one of the best Space Sims in recent history. You can learn the controls in seconds, you can complete the storyline in about a week, and can continue exploring Sirius sector for months and not see everything. Combat is exciting, but the opponent AI is not exactly challenging. The storyline is entertaining, but the missions get pretty repetitive. I've played through the game no less than four times, and will probably do it again in the future. Edited July 9, 2006 by SamuraiGaijin
Silpheed Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 The Wing Commander and Freespace series are simply the best of the space fighter genre. Starlancer was a pretty good game aswell.
Silpheed Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 Nothing new there, I still consider Starlancer a better game than Freelancer.
Silpheed Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 Tighter and better story, better looking ships and the missions are good fun. Freelancer is pretty much a space shooter with a thin veneer of Elite/Privateer that ends up feeling "empty" after a while. Once you find a trading "milkrun" you can make retardedly amounts of cash in a short while since Freelancers economy is static, which is a big no-no for a Elite clone.
Dark_Raven Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 Starlancer & Freelancer older games? I recall hearing about Starlancer. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Bokishi Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 Freelancer is old but gold, starlancer is even older. Current 3DMark
Dark_Raven Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 Great. In other words something that will not be in the local computer stores. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
Dark_Raven Posted July 10, 2006 Posted July 10, 2006 Amazon is my friend when it comes to music, might as well include old/used games. Hades was the life of the party. RIP You'll be missed.
SamuraiGaijin Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 The Freelancer trial is available here: http://www.microsoft.com/games/freelancer/downloads_05.asp ... and while it is about 3 years old, I remember seeing it in the stores not too long ago.

mkreku Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 I saw someone talking about Freespace in this thread earlier.. Then I saw this: http://www.webhallen.com/prod.php?id=60789 Both Freespace games for 49 SEK (appr. 6,68 USD). Should I buy..? Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
kirottu Posted July 11, 2006 Posted July 11, 2006 For that price Freelancer 2 is worth it. Missions are repetive, but it This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.
