IMHO the more open ended Wing Commander Privateer was the best of the series in terms of playability.

I couldn't guess how many hours I spent on the WC series. But it was a blast in it's day. Tried this version for a little bit and I am pretty impressed. Runs great. Visuals are excellent. So far no problems. If the campaign plays out like it's supposed to I'd hope for more. It would be a worthwhile purchase in the future should the makers continue.

Wing Commander Saga is free to play! Suggest everyone try it out. Lot's of work from people nice enough to share it for free.

I was just watching the other day WC3 videos and thinking how cool it was back in the day. A modern makeover is epic

This is truly an amazing piece of work.. "piece" not really doing it justice. Ten years in the making and at a massive 3.3GB download with 50 missions, 70 cut-scenes, 60 voice actors and dozens of fighter and cap ships, it's almost over flowing with content and certainly blew my mind just how good a game it is for a fan-made free game!!!!

I remember playing the first WC series way-back-when, on a 286, and upgrading for each release up until the finale WC4 when I had a 486 with SB Pro. I think from memory I even had a dedicated video decoder card back then!

If you loved X-Wing or the original WC series you owe it to your self to give this a download. They combined the WC universe with its ground breaking story telling, with the Freespace2 engine, throw in a bit of spice with X-wing type missions and tactics, some massive cap ship battles with all new missions... Its everything old WC fans wanted and more from a sequel!!!

Graphics are actually very reminiscent of the RTS "Sins of a Solar Empire".

Might give it a try.
