    It's a nice game, but there are better ones out there made near the same time. The controls are all over the place and there is very little polish in the look of everything. The gameplay got old fast and made me want to play better titles.

    One of the best space sims ever made and is a solid candidate for game of the year.

    Multiplayer of course shines, and there's never been a better excuse to splash out for that cable modem than the multi-tiered dogfights possible in FreeSpace 2. The best of its kind yet.

    Still very derivative of the games that came before it. What's different this time around is that Volition has added to the genre instead of just cloning it.
