Wing Commander is a space simulation series that is unrivaled. Prophecy is not the best of the series, but the improved spaceflight and graphics make it a great game. Anybody interested in space simulation should be interested in this game.

Space Sim Classic

Wing Commander Prophecy is a classic.
Even in 2002, it still looks pretty good concidering the screen resolution limitations. I actually first played Wingman on my PS2, and back then thought it was a better flight sim than most flight sims offered for PS2. Its just fun, and a "must have" for any simulation nutt. Its like re-visiting my roots.
I spend most of my time with other games, but getting a perfect mint condition boxed copy of Prophecy, still sealed .... from 1997 ...for 14 bucks ... wow !!

I think thats a find.

The game play is great though the story line needs a little work. But that really does not matter much if you are after the great graphics and new ships. Not to mention the great intellegence of the AI. Moves of the AI are harder to predict. No patterns so that would mean great dog fights and damn great action. Character interaction is great not to mention the weapons and the guns. I hope origin comes up with a sequel. or even a trilogy like the first three.

fun game, just wrong format

this a great game very good, great graghics though a somewhat weak story line it could bo stonger. when you fly you get a strong feeling of speed movement. the ships are cool very cool, it is just so fun to fly around with the devestater and blast ships with the plasma cannon one hit their gone everyone should try it.

sub par

orgin really screwed up with this one. maybe they were trying to kill the series but this was the worest wc game ever. all the numerous incarnations, wing commander 1,2,3,4 and academy were awsome. the story was so immersive that after you played you really felt it was worth your time. i play wing commander 4 still at the beginning of every summer and everytime its like watching an epic. too bad the movie didnt adopt the story of the game! would have been so much better. wing prophecy was so uninspired in story that i had no interest in the plot. i was only interested in finishing the darn thing. dont buy this game, borrow it from your friends so you can say you played it. oh and yeah they killed blair. today is a sad day for the confederation

Much the same

Yet another in the turgid 'Wing Commander' series, 'Prophecy'thankfully reduces the amount of dull, plotless FMV, whilst notsignificantly improving the gameplay, which doesn't seem to have evolved very much since the original 'Wing Commander'. Your ship still doesn't 'feel' as if it is flying through space, the supposedly-invincible bad guys are more of a nuisance than a threat, and if you fail a mission it will probably be because you failed to protect something that you were not told about.

Imagine watching a bad, low-budget science fiction film whilst playing a modern homage to 'Star Raiders' and you have the game in a nutshell. END

Nice graphics, no story

This is a very pretty game. The graphics were top of the line when this title was released and it still looks very nice. However, the strength of the first 4 Wing Commanders was the storyline. The filmed scenes in WCIII and WCIV told interesting stories that brought you into the game. The filmed scenes in this version serve little to move the story along and are a waste (I am sure they cost quite a bit to make). Furthermore the missions are fairly repetitious - you are either in a dogfight or on a bombing run. Try Independence War if you want a challenging space sim or X-Wing Alliance or Freespace if you want a more traditional but fun space shooter.

Wing Commander, sorta....

Having grown up with many of the original (and quite excellent) Wing Commander games, I was a bit dissapointed by this one. I found the gameplay was good but the story seemed to fall apart. The expansion was pretty sad, they didn't even take time to put any film cutscenes in. It was fun but I doubt I will be going back and playing this one again soon like the other WC.
