freelancer game

has anyone played this game and is it any good. it's a little late as i just ordered a copy, but did i waste my money? are the controls easy, reasonable, or hard to use?
and what about starlancer, the older game in the series?

that game BLOWS! I think I played a demo and its one of the worst games ever!
I wouldn't go with older games, because you won't like the graphics....

I bought it... it's alright. Not the best game in the world. Controls seemed fine.

Starlancer? I had that on Dreamcast, it's an OK game.

well i saw a quick glimpse on tv, and the graphics looked acceptable to me. i was thinking more of the gameplay. are there masses of missions, for example, or are all the missions the same with only a few descriptions differing?

I'm not sure, because I hated the game and I couldn't stand it, so I quit after a few minutes of gameplay

To be honest... I did about 3 missions and stopped playing when I died (don't buy a cargo ship and then do bounty hunter missions). Graphics were good.

The missions seemed to be the "find this and destroy it" or "escort this convoy" type...

it isn't that bad.. to make money fast just find places to buy cheap, and sale high.. and locate your shortcuts off the main routs..

It has a ok story.. so it is worth the play..

Online is fun (if you can find a server with a bunch of people on it). There's mods out there which let you fly the big ships. I dont know whats been going on with it all though I haven't played it in awhile.
