Man was this game something. Noir comic book storytelling. I played this maybe a year after launch on the XBOX 360 (I got a digital copy years later). This and Bioshock really blew my mind at the time for what was then next gen gaming. This game still holds up. It's so hard to play on the hardest difficulty on a controller, every time I load up I just wish it was on PC with proper keyboard and mouse support along with a higher framerate.

I played it on the xbox 360. You can play the second game on pc, but for some reason not the first one and I wanna play it again. I loved the gameplay and atmosphere of it all.

This game had the perfect blend of horror, violence, supernatural butt kicking, and heart and sorry (Jenny). While I did enjoy the second one, for some reason this one just resonates with me more, and I really want this to come to PC>

This is one of the best games based on comic books that I've ever played! It's also one of the best I've played with supernatural themes. Add that to the exceptional acting for the characters, tremendous atmosphere, the unique gameplay, the detailed interactivity of the world, and you've got a game that should have been widely recognized but slipped through the cracks and left to languish on consoles for no one new to discover it. PLEASE save this game from obscurity so that others can experience it!

i saw a few videos about this very game, and i am really intrested in the story, i did not watch manny fully because i wanted to know the ending myself but since this game dose not exsist on a pc version, its really sad. so i would pay any price to play this game, older games are more fun anyway than any other new game that comes out today

A remake of this game would go hard... This game is a gem. The voice acting was amazing, and the atmosphere and visuals were so gritty and sombre (not even going to talk about the hell level; that horse will forever be etched into my brain), and gameplay-wise, it's unlike anything I have played since. It's so sad to see these games become old like this, especially with no PC port; they are just stuck in this weird era of 30 fps, 720p. They made a sequel/remake but made it cartoony with the cel-shading and really lost all its darkness... pun intended.

I have been a fan of the series since I played the second game when I was young and never got to play the first game, and it's better to preserve this underrated game for the better, because old games should be shared, not as a memory.

This game has been stuck on the PS3 and Xbox 360 for too long, it's about time someone released this game for modern platforms, especially when the second game is available to play on Steam.

One of my favorite games on the xbox 360, underrated gem for sure from Strabreeze studios (Chronicles of Riddick), I hated what they've done with the sequel but I'd love to see this one on PC.

Freelancer
FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.
