Freelancer (PC)

“A good, if somewhat limited, attempt at a modern-day Elite. The entire game can be played with a mouse, which means you don't have to go find a flight stick. It's relatively open-ended... You can fight, or trade... There's a decent storyline......”

“A good, if somewhat limited, attempt at a modern-day Elite. The entire game can be played with a mouse, which means you don't have to go find a flight stick. It's relatively open-ended... You can fight, or trade... There's a decent storyline... But it just isn't as open-ended as I would have liked.”

“When looking for a simple space-combat simulation, look no further. It's forgiving learning curve and controls makes Freelancer a joy to play. Breathtaking scenery and plenty of systems to explore, this game will immerse you. Somewhat repetitive.”

“A good space combat sim with customizable ships as long as you got over the idea of solar systems strung together internally with "space highways".”

“Had this in my collection and recently installed it. Though the graphics are a bit outdated today, the gameplay is still fun and there is a lot to explore. Fly in space as a mercenary escorting ships as well as trading items to get funds.”

“Pros: Voice acting. Starfields. Novel handling of asteroid and debris fields. Customizable weapon layouts. Mouse-compatible flight. Cons: Poor joystick flight. No 3D map. Learning-curve plateau. Weapon mapping is sub-par. Inspired EVE.”

“An epic space opera with one of the best free multiplayers around. I must have burned 2 years of my life playing this game and I don't regret it one bit.”

“Freelancer is a Space combat simulator, where the player is free to do as he wishes: trade, explore, combat, etc. This game has a solid story and a lot to do but the real meat of the game comes in the form of player mods.”

“One of my all time favorite games - I've never seen a flight simulator controlled so well with a mouse look system!”
