This was quite a mixed bag.
The story was quite a standout feature s it really helped flesh out the universe and the Kilrathi, and i'm especially looking forward to the Firekka in future WC games.
There's a bunch of new stuff added to the sandbox too- The Hsiss was a nice addition and it looks cool too even though it is a bit too bullet spongey, the Dralthi Mk. II
(despite just being a stupid scimitar) was fun to fly around in and fight against, and the charaacters are now actually characers, nice to see Iceman finding his daughter.

The missions are a bit repetitive and some are genuinly just torture (especially Firekka 1 and 2, i hate Firekka 1 and 2) but overall it was fun to play

I'm excited to see what WC2 brings to the table! I'm really liking this series so far and really look forward to stuff like Privateer.
 
Well done!

If I remember correctly, the story of SM2 was written by an actual author, Ellen Guon, and thus it feels way more realistic.
 
Oh really? I'm guessing this is one of the earliest cases of professional writers working on a video game, and it doesn't surprise me Origin did it
 
Congratulations! That's great flying. Secret Missions 2 was done as a sort of prequel to Wing Commander II... I'll be interested to see what you think of that one!

(... uh but don't get too excited about seeing more Firekkans...)
 
I've already started WC2 and while it's too early to make any opinion the combat is crisper than ever and I love the new bombers!
 
Glad you made it throught the Secrets Missions, worst slog in all of Wing Commander in my opinion. If you liked the more story-oriented shift you'll love WC2 though.
