More exploration options than anything else offered out there.

User Rating: 9.2 | Freelancer PC
Okay, so its not that revolutionary. Privateer II had the same theme and wasn’t much different in its gameplay. Freelancer is still good though given the exploration you could indulge yourself in. The open-ended exploration seems to be emphasized and yes, it is there just as promised. The downside is that its so highly addictive that eventually you realize you are still dealing with a finite program and after hours, days, weeks of gameplay you will still run into the last place you haven’t visited and then you will have seen it all. The usage of the mouse alone is not a much of an option (then again it is Microsoft). Still, the game does give people who want that mercenary lifestyle game exactly what they want. The battles are still fun, the strategic side of the game is fun. You get to choose what you want and how you’re going to get it.
