Action Vault's review of Freelancer is the best of the lot for sure, just as the statement said on the home section of this web site. It is really a must read for those who are thinking about just playing with the Pr beta and not ordering the final release. And for those who do not have the PR...you should also read it and get even more excited than you have been! The part that got me excited was there is "48 known systems and the rumor is there are several more uncharted systems". It did say something about a release date of March 3rd?
The last I heard was a release date of March 4th.
