	Freelancer (computer game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Freelancer is a space simulation computer game developed by Digital Anvil and published by Microsoft in March 2003 for Microsoft Windows.
		Many people have noted similarities between Freelancer and a much older game, Elite, which was available for the BBC microcomputer in the early 1980s, as well as its two sequels, Fronter: Elite II and Frontier: First Encounters (particularly the bulletin boards at each base where the player can find jobs to carry out).
		Freelancer supports a thriving modding community, mainly due to the fact that almost all of the architecture of the in-game universe (solar systems, economy, factions, etc.) is contained within editable.INI files.

	Freelancer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A freelancer or freelance worker is a self-employed person working in a profession or trade in which full-time employment is also common.
		Fields where freelancing is especially common include journalism and other forms of writing, computer programming and graphic design, consulting, and many other professional and creative services.
		But the practice is widespread: for example, bounty hunters and mercenaries are freelancers, with their full-time counterparts being, respectively, the police and the military.

	DailyGame Reviewers Choice: Freelancer [PC]
		Freelancer will change your mind about how exciting an open-ended game can be, and it will distort your perception of the genre in so many wonderful ways that you’ll ponder why you ever bothered to play any other.
		Whether by the game’s slight weakness in the "land-based" activities or by your own choice, you’ll probably spend most of your gameplay time in space, so it’s a good thing that the ships, stars, asteroid clusters, bases and cosmic clouds are all illustrated with the utmost attention to detail.
		Freelancer is the best space-based game since X-Wing, its gameplay is just as innovative, and it’s the most complete PC game of any genre that I’ve played in a couple of years.

	Freelancer for PC video game review and cheats (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Freelancer does a great job of different areas having unique cultures and politics so flying into a new area does keep the game from becoming stale.
		Freelancer in my eyes is definately a buy, it has too my surprise when it comes to microsoft's games been an exellent game.
		Here is a game that could have been a solid 10 but the lack of a joystick and in cockpit view ruined it.

	AtomicGamer - Freelancer Review
		Generally, these games have hit and miss sales, and they do not always correlate with how good the game is. At least with the case of Freelancer, though, the game may or may not sell well but there is some quality work in there.
		Freelancer doesn't really do much in the line of epic space battles where dozens of ships duke it out - the scope of the game is a little more personal most of the time.
		The game includes a large number of cutscenes, most of which involve your character talking about whatever is going on in the story with the people who are giving him the missions.

	Rise of Nations Interview: Doug Kaufman, Designer (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		I find computer games to be much more "of a piece;" that is, the design has to be more cohesive.
		Yes, you can tweak systems, but the repercussions are more grand than with a board game, and that's one reason why the design of a computer game can easily take two years where the design of a boardgame typically takes 6 months.
		Most computer games are single-player experiences, or need to have excellent single-player modes, and this of course informs all sorts of different design concepts.

	Personal Tech: Computer Game reviews
		The game's AI is most impressive when you make the classic mistake of being caught on candid evil camera, setting off the security alarms throughout an enemy compound.
		Freelancer is the long-awaited descendant of games such as Privateer, Elite and Wing Commander.
		Freelancer also offers multiplayer capability, which can be fun, but already is done rather well in Earth and Beyond.

	Action Vault - Freelancer Review
		Freelancer itself has survived its tumultuous journey and has arrived in a slightly different package than the one originally announced.
		Freelancer takes place in a universe where the societal structure encompasses four major "houses", the North American Liberty, the Asian Kusari, British Bretonia and Germanic Rheinland.
		Freelancer is an action game at heart, far more classic space opera than hardcore science fiction or space sim, with a light smattering of role-playing elements.

	RPGnet: Review of Freelancer
		Freelancer, released in March of 2003 by Microsoft and Digital Anvil, is one of the most beautiful space-fighter-jockey games to come along.
		Since it seems that joystick games are becoming fewer and farther between, Digital Anvil skipped the usual translation of joystick-to-mouse control that has been problematic for some games in the past; instead, Freelancer has been designed to fly-by-mouse right from the ground up.
		Flying your fighter and blasting bad guys is the highlight of the game, which is a good thing, because the rest of the game has some adequacy issues.

	"Freelancer"/ a game review from Christian Spotlight
		Freelancer is by far, one of the greatest games of 2003.
		Although a few minor problems keep this game from being one of the top games of all times, it is certainly worth picking up.
		Also if you have a Radeon graphics card, there is a bug which slows down the game to a crawl when text is displayed (there is a fix involving mucking around with some settings every time you want to play).

	Freelancer Review - Groovalicious Games
		While this space combat/exploration/trading game may not offer a huge variety of missions or gameplay, overall it's very enjoyable and rather addictive, and is easily my favorite release of early 2003.
		Freelancer's single player campaign is put together well, propelled along by an interesting story and some solid cinematics, featuring movie-like action such as hairbreadth escapes and heroic sacrifices.
		As I mentioned in my Game Awards, Freelancer was one of the games I was most looking forward to this year, and as the first of my "Big Six" games to be released, not only does it not disappoint, but it sets a standard of enjoyment that hopefully the other titles will reach.

	Review: Freelancer for PC on Gamepro.com.
		At long last, PC space-shooter fans, Freelancer sits upon your gaming store shelves, and have no fear?it was worth the wait.
		The game casts you as an interstellar pilot named Trent, who survives the destruction of Freeport 7, a space station in Freelancer's massive galaxy consisting of over 40 systems and countless bases, planets, and spacedocks.
		If you?re not moved by the chaos of combat in Freelancer, you might want to check your pulse?laser blasts shooting past, missiles and mines exploding, and pilots barking out taunts and frightened wails make for some of the most intense dogfighting combat yet.

		Most of the games being released now take great care in providing atmosphere that carries the player through to the end.
		However, like the rest of the game, it still possesses a charm of its own that makes it impossible to dislike it -- and that charm is its anime influence.
		I've always had a great respect for computer game music, simply because, if done right, it can give a game that little nudge it needs to be able to fully emerge the gamer in the game's environment.

	Freelancer Review - PC
		The game does have a few minor problems, primarily in the sound department, that tends to stifle an otherwise enjoyable gaming experience.
		The host system was running the latest drivers for the sound card, and since all other games on the system seem not to have a problem in sound rendering, it would appear as though the problem is with the game’s interfacing with the host computer.
		Freelancer’s maps are huge and whether playing through the story, taking on missions, or just exploring, the game gives players the choice to customize their gaming experience.

	[No title]
		However, the good news for followers of the game is that Freelancer remains a thoroughly enjoyable title, offering hi-octane thrills united with an innovative control system and an exciting plot.
		This is where freelancing comes into play, as you're able to travel all over the galaxy taking on assignments as you please.
		Freelancer kicks off with an intro movie detailing the backstory which encompasses a hundred year war between The Coalition and The Alliance (which some of you may recognise as being the same conflict featured in Starlancer).

		Despite the game's age, its graphics are spectacular, as is the sound and voice acting, and in that way, fighting and trading with friends or alone, Freelancer proves worth the wait.
		Following the main mission of the game is fun and its elements are interesting, but in order to shoehorn you into it, Freelancer made the extremely poor choice of tying it to your pilot's progression.
		You are the freelancer Edison Trent, an intergalactic jack-of-all-trades.
