Still fun [Posted on 2008-02-15]
I played and finished this game when it came out a number of years ago. I really liked it then. Only one of its kind. Since then, I gave it away and went on to other things. I recenlty bought it again for the same reason. AS far as I can tell, it's the only one of its kind. The only thing out there that's close is EVEonline, which is a MMO. But even that, I'm not quite as happy w/ as this. The two main reasons, this has no monthly fee to play, and fighting is in realtime. I'm not totally crazy about the game b/c it does get pretty redundant. Also, I would've liked to have had more things to do at the various bases, and have more things to do w/ my money besides buy bigger ships and more weapons. I think if they could ever work on those areas and make a Freelancer2, it would be a fantastic game. Some things I do like about it: Pretty easy learning curve, lots of systems to explore, little hidden things here and there in the systems that make it fun to fly around and see what I can find. I'm hoping someday someone will make the game w/ all the components I want in it.

This is the best space trader game ever. Not because of the original game but because of all the mods available. Blaster universe mod, Discovery mod and crossfire mod. Using freelancer mod manager. There are many more mods too, even starwars mods. No game is beter. And some mod continue the story. I bought this years ago but lost it. I need to buy a new copy. I lost or traded probably. If I had all the mods back then I would still have it. The mods give the game 100% replay value due to the fact some are xml and I gave my rino freighter in the demo 100,000 cargo capacity and got 2 billion credits. New worlds to explore and galaxies and new merchandise to trade and new enimie. Mods realy help this game but most all require the original version.

Great Game [Posted on 2008-05-27]
When I was a kid one of my favorite games was Wing Commander: Privateer. It was the best of the Wing Commander series and I played it several times over until it no longer worked on whatever computer I owned, but I haven't been able to find a game since to replace it. Until now.

Freelancer it a great space adventure game without all the muck of being a flight simulator, which I am not very fond of. The only reason I didn't give the game five stars is because it has some long cut scenes of you attacking bases on foot, but doesn't actually let you go into FPS mode to fight the bad guys yourself.

That aside, I love this game.
