I've been playing Freelancer for the last three hours or so. It is one hell of a gorgeous game. It even runs in 1024x768x32 with most of the eyecandy on with virtually no chugging on my 1ghz AMD w/GeForce2 MX.
The only real issue I have with the game is the voice acting. Some of it is horrible. But everything else is just... wonderful. It's almost like "Wing Commander meets Star Wars" -- the graphics, ship designs, and general atmosphere are very WCish, but dogfights have that distinct Star Wars WWII-era feel. The rapid-fire laser cannons help, too. My little Patriot with quad Justice III mounts is hell on wheels...
I also virtually stole a copy of Morrowind for $19.95, but have been too busy with Freelancer to install it yet. B)
