I have such a soft spot for this game despite all of its flaws. Of all the games in the TLoS trilogy (console versions), this is the best one imo. Yeah, the free flight system in this game is nothing to write home about, but I still have a blast with this game whenever I replay it. Is it nostalgia? Definitely, but I still think this is an interesting game nonetheless.

This was one of my favorite games growing up. I genuinely loved the sheer scale of the game. It was arguably more epic than anything I had yet seen as a child, and it's one of the best video games I ever owned on my old PS2. Not to mention the all-star voice cast this game had: Elijah Wood, Gary Oldman, and Mark Hamill, to name a few. I wouldn't have known these names back when I played the game, but I still remember enjoying every second of the dialogue. The music was superb, too, for a PS2 game. Just look up "Valley of Avalar" or "Floating Islands" or any of the rest of the soundtrack to see what I mean. I'd love to see the whole trilogy on GOG so more people can experience both this and the other two games in the trilogy.

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.
