How it feels
A grand space opera that pulls you between Hollywood-style drama and tense dogfights where every wingman lost is gone for good.

About
Wing Commander is a space combat simulator intercut with live action cutscenes. Gameplay involves completing missions and destroying enemy craft, Wing commander III dispensed with the issuing of medals after such missions and relied more on cutscenes to drive the story along making much more use of CD technology. As the man giving the orders, Blair often gets to choose what ship he will fly, what missiles it will carry, and what wingman (wingmen) he will take with him. As in Wing Commander, some wingmen can be killed permanently in combat. Blair's own call sign remained customizable
What players say
A pioneering interactive-movie space combat sim stuffed with Hollywood FMV and a star-studded cast, fondly remembered for making players feel like they were starring in a sci-fi film. The PlayStation port preserved the cinematic spectacle and the series' beloved dogfighting.
