I remember the game being too hard for me back in the day of youth. It's still hard for me now, and there are many frustrating parts, but I simply enjoyed the story and gameplay. X2 is basically T-tension, but with better graphics and the addition of a story. And I simply can't describe it in detail, but the X games are etched in my memory and I consider them one of the best space games. Even though they still don't have everything I would like my ideal space simulation to contain, as they say, "they have that something".
