Freespace - the Great War
However the game is too damn short, it took
half a day to go through the whole campaign, and what made it worse is there isn’t
anymore for the moment, meaning that’s it, one stupidly easy campaign. No matter how
well set up the missions are you can’t escape the fact that there are only 36 of them
(5 of them being training). It’s nice though that you don’t have to complete all
of the task’s set for you, unlike X-wing. Although I would prefer to have a more open
ended campaign with the success of the missions affecting the whole game. And then comes
the all weird last level, it screw’s with your mind like nothing you could imagine,
but i’ll save it for you to find out. The gameplay also translates into multiplayer
which is very entertaining and slightly harder than the single player mode but it does
seem to be a bit bugged with lots of strange errors going on every now and then, still fun
though.
Sequel ready:
This game is crying out for a sequel,
hopefully they will make one. Meanwhile buy this one in the wait, it’s good, nice to
look at, and entertaining enough to constitute the asking price and they are releasing
alot of patches to remove the bugs of network play. All in all a good game, not too
original though.
