A little like GTA3 for outer space... except without the muggings

This is what they truly mean by "open-ended gaming". Yes, you can lament the lack of multiplayer. You can also lament the too-short storyline (at least its longer than Call of Duty). You can even gripe about the lack of joystick interface (yeah, the mouse-only driving is what cost this review a star).

But you cannot lament the range of ways to play this game. You can run with any group, any time, even the ones you've run missions against or just blown up and robbed (thanks to convenient bribes). There are a number of easter eggs to find (hidden joys), and quite a few sectors that don't get visited in the course of the plot, to give you something to do once you've beaten this game.

While it does get repetitive after a while, most games do. I mean, you can only take so many approaches and kill so many targets before you're done and should really get some sleep, right?

An excellent game. I wish they'd consider a sequel.

Great Game

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.
