I don't know what else to say but this: this game is one of the best games Microsoft Game Studios designed.
While the X series of games actually make a vast believable star system and do everything that this game does (and in some cases are much, *much* bigger than Freelancer can ever hope to be), they miss out on the important concept of balancing travelling time and "shoot those bastards out of space" time. With a vast array of star systems (and one secret system!) and cartloads of ships (the Corsair Titans are the best, take my word for it) this game is brilliant!

Quite an interesting game concept - it's based on physics (and to some extent microbiology); you are a mote (a cell, if you like it) and you can absorb smaller motes through a process that resembles osmosis (just touch another smaller mote and you start absorbing it). The reverse also applies; touch a bigger mote and it absorbs you.
Propulsion is accomplished by clicking and releasing mass. Considering that this is a physics based game, you move with a momentum proportional to the mass you released.
Every level has a goal such as "become the biggest" or "become huge" or "absorb " where is a unique kind of mote such as an Ovarium or a Ferax.
Definitely relaxing in some stages thanks to the ambient music and the not-so-taxing (at least in most levels) gameplay.
Quite an enjoyable game!
