  • Rating:4

    This poor mission pack makes you appreciate just how polished the main Freespace campaign is.

    Silent Threat on the surface features a decent story and a great set of features. Unfortunately, both are tremendous letdowns. Everything in this pack is notch below Freespace. The poor voice acting is the first thing yo... Read Full Review

    Good, for an expansion.

    The only good space flight sim.

    If you want to play a good space sim game then this is the one and only one to get. The graphics are great especially for something made back in 1998. The gameplay is fairly difficult and really challenges you to play be... Read Full Review

    Gameplay: Definently not as good as its original, you're put into service with Galactic Terran Intelligence (GTI) to do the dirty work and all that, but it just doesn't work with a space fighter game, basically instead o... Read Full Review
