A Classic, December 15, 2007

I am really hesitant to review this game because it is really a classic and beyond the playing experience it has historical value. Produced by Origin, a pioneering Icon in the early gaming industry, with the "Father of the interactive movie" none other than Chris Roberts, this game is a treasure just to own, let alone play it. This game plays as if you're really in a movie and you are the star, you're the Wing Commander, you call the shots, you're the CAG (Commander Air Group), and you fly with your choices. this was a big step for Space Flyer Combat Simulation, going from a cartoonish animation to some powerful bluescreen graphic cut scenes and a choice determined outcome was a big leap for gaming. This was the first to make the jump in the Wing Commander series and set a standard for the industry. It is more than just a series in the gaming industry, it's a legend. You will need a lot of help to play this one but it's worth it for the SFCS enthusiast. DOSBox Plays this one and...

I remember getting this game a long time ago and ever since I played it it's been one of my favorites. The gameplay, cinematics, story, and presentation overall is superb. It's obvious the team put a lot of planning into the game. While there are many tough missions they very enjoyable even if you have to replay them a few times. The game's story is also great and you can get a real feeling that you're a part it. Because this game is old it might be a little tough to get running on some newer computers, but using programs such as DOSBox should do the trick just fine. Definitely worth playing if you get the opportunity.
