Great game but overshadowed by latter iterations of the game, mainly X3TC. Only worth playing if you want to experience the story line from X2 the threat (picks up right where it left off). Other wise do your self a favor and jump right into X3TC.

A really fun space trading game. It has easy automated ship navigation and fast travel. Controls are very easy to learn and everything but ship combat can be done with just the keyboard or just the mouse or both. All keys can be re-configured to your desired keys. It's also has a nice relaxing space opera atmosphere and the story-line is interesting with relatable characters.

I have held an interest in space travel since watching the original series of Star Trek back in the day. And so I took an interest in this game, and the like. The game runs very well, except for the auto-docking, depending on which way you do it. Not much at all other than that. I give a 4 out of 5 big stars!

Great game with good story. Plenty of ways to play and mostly free to roam around to chose your own path, just need to finish the first few missions to gain enough reputation to be able to start buying ships to expand your fleet operations. Great graphics and good controls even for someone like me who's not good with keyboards. Only thing I didn't like was that they don't have pictures for the ships in the first buying menu like the did for X2 and they made it a little more convoluted to find ship details before you buy the ships; you need to use the U key while in the buying menu's first page to get the details so you know what weapons and shields you need. Be VERY CAREFUL when reading online guides or forums as they have INCORRECT information; the ONLY TWO ARGON vessels that have Mobile Drilling Systems compatibility are the Mammoth and the Centaur. Just a matter of tooling around during your first mission to get a hang for the nuance of the controls and the game becomes more dynamic once you get that down.

I keep trying to get into these games but then my ADHD having ass sees all the spreadsheets and stuff and I die a little inside and go play a game that caters to my attention span.
