Released two weeks ago, the WC Saga prologue demo has been downloaded almost a thousand times from the CIC server alone. Wing Commander Saga joins Unknown Enemy, Standoff and Flight Commander as a major fan project to be released to the public. The standalone mod uses an updated version of the Freespace 2 engine and is available for Windows and Mac.
Wing Commander and the Secret Mission expansion are okay for a while. A while being about ten minutes... As a package things don’t really stick together. The games load up quickly, but generally the presentation is poor; it’s like EA gave the project to a group of new graduates to knock out on the cheap. Fourteen games - or thirteen, if you remove the pointless Wing Commander expansion pack - is a paltry number...These guys also managed to pan Prophecy Advance, back in 2003. In that light, it seems important to note that Secret Missions isn't actually an expansion pack -- it's the full-fledged SNES release of the game, and it features quite a bit of added material (including an introductory cutscene, new takeoff segments and two different endings).
