Amazon.com Review:
Are there any computer and video game players that haven't dreamed of piloting an intergalactic starfighter against an overwhelming enemy assault? Perhaps there are--but if you share that dream, you can live the vision, at least in computer game form, with Interplay's high-octane space combat simulation FreeSpace 2.
Placing you in the role of a nameless, but extremely able, Terran pilot, FreeSpace 2 continues the complex story first introduced in its predecessor, Descent FreeSpace: The Great War. Over 30 years have passed, but the nefarious, spiderlike Shivan race continues to threaten Earth and its peaceful ally, the Vasudan Empire.
Over the course of 30 new single-player missions, a dynamic tale of both civil war and armageddon unfolds; the improved storyline is just one of several sequel improvements. FreeSpace 2 implements the most impressive 3-D graphics of any space-combat simulation to date--prepare to feast on mammoth capital ships, missile trails, detailed ships, and eye-opening, screen-filling explosions. Many FreeSpace 2 missions occur within dense nebulae. The immersive, clouded environment offers intense dogfighting gameplay to match the dazzling visuals. When you're finished with the single-player campaign, hop online and compete against others, in both team and solo warfare, on Volition's online service. --Doug Radcliffe
Amazon.com Product Description:
Interplay successfully eluded the "sophomore slump" with the 1999 release of Freespace 2. After great critical acclaim, Freespace 2: Sci-Fi Sim of the Year builds on the success of its predecessors, adding over 20 missions and allowing one to create, customize, and even exchange single-player and multiplayer scenarios with FRED 2, the new and improved mission editor. - Up to 12 players can battle in dogfight, team vs. team (up to 8 players), and cooperative missions via LAN, TCP/IP, or modem. New scenarios include flying with Vasudan squadrons, piloting advanced stealth fighters, and "painting" targets with TAG (Target Acquisition and Guidance) missiles. An in-depth combat system enables players to target and destroy subsystems, disabling engines, defensive turrets, missile batteries, and fighter bays.

Nothing out there comes close to what freespace 2 did. This game was and still is the best sci fi space sim. Its a shame that there was not a part 3. This game was and still is EPIC.

Freespace 2 is an amazing game - but take note: it was released into the public domain on April 25, 2002, when Volition released the source code to the public as a noncommercial license. The engine is now the basis for the (also free) Battlestar Galactica based game "Beyond the Red Line."
If you are a collector, you're gonna pay a stiff price for that box. If you are a player, the game is available for gratis.

Freespace 2 is, hands down, the best space fighting sim I have ever played. The fact that it still has a vibrant community and a plethora of people making custom missions for it attests to its greatness. But even more so, the Source Code Project, undertaken by the community, has worked to bring the graphics of the game up to modern standards. Wow. Really, buy this game, it's worth it.

Freespace 2 is in a nutshell, a Freespace 1 with all its faults fixed. If you don't like flight sims, you wont like Freespace. But, if you've ever enjoyed X-wing, Ace Combat, Wing Commander, or anything to do with fighter planes, this is for you.
Freespace 2 starts off several years after Descent Freespace. Over the years, technology has improved, and Volition accurately shows that. The GTVA fleet is made up of new fighters, though the best of the last gen fighters are still being used. ... Read More

I remember getting an ad for the original Freespace just before it came out back in 1998 and mentally dropping my jaw at the "life-sized" starcruisers exhibited in the glossy fold-out I'd been sent. I bought the dramatically titled "Descent: Freespace - The Great War" and enjoyed it immensely. Not since the release of the first two Wing Commander games had a computer game blown me away in quite the same way.
A couple years later, I was in the minority in hearing about the release of this, ... Read More
