Day 48 - Favourite Realistic Sim Game: Descent Freespace 2
I could go for any of F1 1999-2002, Commanche 3, ATF, F-22 Lightning 2, Eurofighter 2000, Falcon 4.0 or AF-22 Raptor, I really could. And probably should, coming to think of it. But I never was that big a fan of realistic sims, not since Wing Commander came in my life. Flying has nothing on dogfights in the void of space. And since Freespace 2, I haven't loved again. An epic campaign, a gameplay as realistic as it possibly could be considering the premise of the game, a distinguished tour of duty worthy grinding for the medals of service, an intensity that will make you grind your teeth. Freespace 2 was never surpassed, and in a way killed the genre: no one dared to try and top it. But on the plus side, there's tons of standalone mods for it, from Battlestar Galactica themes to an unofficial Wing Commander total conversion , aptly named Wing Commander Saga.
