One thing that is most noticable: In Freelancer you're pretty much taken 
by the hand and locked into a fairly narrow corridor of progression. It 
looks fairly free and footloose to start with, but you soon realize that 
to improve you have to cross certain T-s and dot certain I-s or a whole 
lot of content won't get unlocked. Once you have finished the storyline, 
at least in my personal experience, the game gets fairly pointless and 
there's little or no replay value ( I am sure some people may violently 
disagree with me on this point ).
