Suprising no one I know has played this game. Its awesome. More addicting space game I've ever played and I'm very picky about games. Mainly, you fly around in a spaceship more like a space craft, but it doens't really matter. You can either do missions, freelance (picking random mini missions to do just to get money), just wander the universe, become a outlaw, and even fly your ship into the sun (which burns up before it even gets there )
I liked it because you can do almost anything you want. Transport goods to planet to planet for money, just fly around, kill baddies, or follow the storyline. The game is not really outdated (like year 2002+) but it still offers you hours of fun.
Did I mension you can play online? You can do missions with a party of people and such. Ambush transports and steal their goods to make a profit for yourself. I suggest you guys check it out.
One of the addicting space freelancer game I've ever played. I'd give you guys a link, but my internet is buggy... The games made by microsoft. Look for it on google.
I give the game two thumbs up.
