But it is missing something. There is an unmistakably hollow feel to the game which only increases as you play. It feels like its soul has been quenched. This game feels shallow where it should be a rich, deep and varied pool in which the spacer in you can wallow for weeks. Whether this was due to the departure of Roberts and other key instigators of Freelancer, or just constraints of time, but the title which for years was anticipated like the second coming of Elite has turned out to be nothing more than the equivalent of a flashy televangelist. One who is goods enough to separate you from your money and leave you feeling happy, but just cannot provide you with the answers you were searching for.
