While not a huge fan of the message, it is a great single player game with a solid gameplay, setting and story. 100% worth getting here. I played it to completion and I would love to own a copy here too.trusteft

I had this game in my sight for many years and I wanted to add it to my games library but when this game was getting delisted, it was available at a huge discount but I missed the chance but I am sure very soon we will play this game at the GOG platform forever...😍😎

Ótimo jogo. No começo, parece mais um game genérico de tiro, do tipo Call of Duty. Mas, a medida que a história desenrola, nota-se um jogo com uma história desconcertante. Recomendo!

This is one of those games that I wasn't able to experience when it first came out due to me being very young and interested in CoD Multiplayer. And I'm greatful I got to experience it a couple of years ago via third party means. One of the best stories I've ever experienced. The statement that this game brings to the table is as relevant today as when it first came out. Please bring it back, so more people can experience it in a legit, controlled way.

This is an EXTREMELY important game. A true spiritual successor to Heart of Darkness, a response to the blatant push for American imperialism and colonialism caused by the "War on Terror," and a response to the many modern military games of the time that didn't bother to take a moment to depict the realities of war. That's before mentioning the amazing way progression in the story causes enemy dialogue to shift, the twist that I wish wasn't so famous just so people could have it hit them as hard as possible, and the fourth wall breaks in the loading tips.

Literature has Heart of Darkness, Films have Apocalypse Now and Games have Spec Ops: The Line. I wasn't able to play this game legally before it got delisted and I feel that the fact that I enjoy it, and it destroyed me in a lot of ways, and didn't pay for it is bad in so many ways, I would love the opportunity to both buy it and play it legally.

I watched someone i know back in the day in person play this game. It wasn't popular back then, but there were people playing it. The ending was brutal. This is one of the games I will always remember.

This was the greatest story breathtaking drama Game about War. I look forward to it's release here I am German and the German translation isn't in steam available. Like the German dub, which I really liked on the good old Xbox 360 days.

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.
