I purchased this game on the strength of the professional reviews it garnered which were uniformly positive. I have been waiting for some time for a worthy successor to Frontier:Elite and from the reviews that I read, I thought, "Ah-ha, at last!" more

FREELANCER IS THE BEST SPACE SHOOTER EVER!
In my opinion, freelancer has to be the best space shooter EVER! It is the first game I have ever played that you can do pretty much everything. You can choose what you want to be. For example, I like being a merchant. It's just something about buying... more

Amazing game in unlimited space.
Freelancer is a space flight game. It's not quite a sim, but it's not arcade. Many people have addressed the No Joystick issue, but let me tell you, it's not an issue. When you hear "Flight game with no Joystick," you probably scoff, but you shouldn't.... more

forget star wars
How did they do it? How did they manage to cram an entire UNIVERSE (the manufacturers are not kidding)into less than 2 gigabytes???? Whoever designed this went to a LOT of trouble, creating eight hundred years of intrigueing history, building a believeable... more

Not bad but not stellar
I'm a fan of the work of the Robert brothers all the way back to wing commander days. I like how Freelancer takes off were Starlancer ends (The Alliance is fighting a losing war against the Coalition *no more spoilers*). I'm not crazy about using the... more

So many things to do, I can't decide!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First, before I get to storyline, lets get to the basics. The graphics are above-par, and so is the sound. My only beff is the AI. every time you talk to a non-mission relted charachter it always starts like this (unlessyou have alredy spoken with them).... more

Better than average
The main plot is somewhat repetitive, but it's entertainng. The open-eneded nature of the gameworld is really unlocked only when you finish the main story in that at several points along your advance,ment you're required to complete specific missions.... more

Good Open-ended engine that allows for amazing replay value
Freelancer lives up to its name. Where others have failed, some miserably, Freelancer has not only succeeded, but raised the bar much higher for those to follow in its footsteps.
Even though this game has been ranked amongst the top pioneers, it does... more

Nothing 'Free' about Freelancer
The game makers declare the game to be open-ended and you are free to go and do as you choose. Nothing could be further from the truth. You MUST do EXACTLY as you are told or you are not allowed to buy better weapons or ships. ( YOU MUST BE LEVEL 16 TO... more

One of the most realistic games in the history of space games. Unlike many other space sims, Freelancer is an easy game to learn but hard to master. Freelancer is one of the few games that can totally immerse the player in the game, unlike many other... more

This is a Must Own
I have played many computer games and I can say that this game is among the alltime top three: including Half-Life and GTA Vice City. This game rocks. It is almost completely open ended and it can get very intence.
First of all the graphics are fantastic... more

Very Entertaining Space Action Game, not a Space Sim
Any accusing Freelancer being a rip off best not without accusing their own favorite as well. Few games these days are not borrowing from another. One critique of this game called it a rip off of his favorite. So happens his favorite could be considered... more

The fun is in the exploration...
...and that gets old pretty quick with the relatively small universe. I think everyone should just face what this game is. It's a repetitive, boring, gameplayless wreck. You spend more than half the game flying from place to play hitting the F3 key to... more

Fun and incredibly annoying at the same time
This game is beautiful to look at and really makes a strong effort at being an open-ended space combat/exploration game. A literal universe of planets, space stations, debris fields, wormholes, ships, and other encounters wait to be explored. Docking... more

Freelancer, a game for the Privateer?
Cheap is the active description. Rip-off is the verdict. If you want a great game, in the tradition of Elite and Privateer, turn to EgoSoft out of Germany. X-Beyond the Frontier, X-Tension, and the newly released X2-The Threat, all blow Microsoft's... more

Not bad
I have the demo version of the game, which is pretty comprehesive. I enjoyed the game a lot, but it isn't a very accurate sim. All the ships act the same, doesn't matter if it's a big freighter or a little fighter they are all the same in agility. The... more
