Space PC Game

Danger Phoenix · 13 Apr 2006 at 15:03

Can anyone suggest any fairly decent space shooting games for the PC.

I want to fly around shooting things, and have missions to complete...

Freelancer possibly.
X2

X3 is also quite good. And Fairly new.

DaveyD · 13 Apr 2006 at 15:12

FreeSpace 2

Or X-Wing: Alliance
or
Old Skool:
Decent I, II and III

freelancer is an excellent space shooter, although graphics could do with an imrpovement, and bigger ships would be nice

it would be good if they made x2 and x3 multiplayer playable, i think it would have openned upto a large audience then, thats what freelancers' advanage was

freelancer. good playability and longevity due to trading. combat is decent, much better then in the X series of games.
freespace 2. old but good due to combat.

Or you could wait a few months for Elite IV: The Next Encounter, to be released

Freespace 2 is pretty fantastic, and being open source it is available for free and is also constantly updated in terms of new enhancments. It's certainly the best Space Sim I've played in the last 10 years (I got it back in January).

Free you say? (said in Zoidberg's voice)

Where can I download it from?

Freespace = The best space game ever

Freelancer is awsome too

I still haven't got round to playing X2, i got a copy of it, but my computer is too poor to enjoy it, and I want to get a manual for the game first.

So as soon as i get a new computer and some free time im buying both the X games, im sure they aer awsome
