Freespace / Silent Threat Bundle (Jewel Case) Review
I bought this game at Wal-Mart and I took it home and I was blown away by the details and realisim. I was happy that the game was based off of the Pentium 133 megahertz chip since that is what is in my system. Back to the game, The Great War DISKS! were the best games I ever played for PC. You start out as a fresh piliot and your first missions are traineing, so you get used to the controls. I DID NOT HAVE A JOYSTICK!!! BUT IT WORKED ANYWAY WITH THE NUMBERPAD ON THE KEYBOARD!!!! A joystick would be great but I beat it without one. A great feature was the ability to comunicate with your wingmen. The game has an extremely large amount of laser cannons, missiles, bombs, fighters, and bombers. There are three species in the game; Terrans (Humans), Vasudans, and the mysterious Shivans. The game starts out with you in the middle of a 14 year war (THE GREAT WAR, DUH!) but then a peace treaty is signed because the Shivans come roughing everyone up. But the game is still great. Silent Threat is an expansion pack that puts you at the end of the great war CD. You are a different piliot becuase the great war ends with you bustin up a Shivan destroyer that was gonna kill Sol (Earth). But you find out in Silent Threat that the piliots who killed that ship and saved (Earth) got stuck there because the explosion cause a cataclismic shut down of the only jump node to Sol that you skip through galaxies with. But in Silent Threat, you are working for the Terrans but you are part of the intel, black-ops squad. You go behind enemy lines to do the dangerous stuff. But now, that you are bored with me ramble, here are the
