X3: The Reunion 2.0 Review

Starts out fun but..
It crashes way to much to get into. My pc is fairly new and its specs are well past what the game needs. I posted about it on the game site and was told to get used to it and save alot. No thanks on this game.

Old time X fan..it just gets better
The X universe has been around for a while, since X Beyond the Fronteir, like 1998 or so. The game is big, and sectors are massive. The ships can be flown in real time and first person, something arcades guys just dont get. But if realism is good to you or you wish you were born about 1500 years from now, this game will knock your socks off, and the new X3 coming out in a few months will just make it better.
It uses an advanced flight mechanic that shows that kinetic energy is worked around a bit in the future, like fighter games now, you can turn quickly and with a little effort, but fast enough for good combat. The weapons have limited range, but each size gets better and more powerful..think alpha,beta and gamma sizes..and missiles can both lock on or not, depending on type. The game is gorgious and needs a shader card to play it well and some older cards just cant, so make sure your ready and you'll see what we mean that this is both great play and time consuming. Like one modderator on ANOTHER games site told me once, X games arent really games, they get addictive, and become part time jobs...lol.

Doesn't satisfy me
I have to say. I hear a lot of about how buggy the game is. I installed and updated it just fine and the game ran great on my computer. Guess I got lucky
Now when I got into it I realized this game will take some time to get into. I did a lot of reading on the forums and spent a good amount of time figuring the dynamics of the game just to realized I've just barely begun. First of all going along in the story, the dialog was a joke. It reminded me of a really bad movie. I had to turn the volume down so my wife wouldn't laugh at me becuase of the cheesy lines.
I thought the game was very open ended and you could just go at it and do whatever you wanted. In the end I felt empty inside. Normally setting up a business and making a lot of money would be a good drive for anyone, but only in a MMORPG. You can be filthy rich and have a powerful ship but in the end... it's only a single player game and it's meaningless. So I finally just uninstalled the game and traded it in for something else more enjoyable. Unfortunately I only got like $4 for this game.
I think that a hardcore fan of the previous X games would enjoy this but anyone else would do better with another game.
Oh. I forgot to mention that one thing I enjoyed about the game was the graphics were beautiful.

This series is getting better...
I started playing this kind of game with Elite on the C64. That game was always the one to measure the others by. Unfortunately I've never had as much fun as I once did with that old game. Sure, everything aspect of gameplay has moved on but it never quite worked well enough for me to get into the game like I once did. The X series has certainly been the leader and this latest version, the 2.0, is far and away the best space combat/training game ever made. It allows you to play it like a Wing Commander/Starlancer mission based game or (and my preferred) completely open-ended. I feel like I'm flying around a fully realized universe with this game. I almost get that limitless feeling like I once did with Elite. Indeed, there are many different ways you can play the game and that is why the replayability is also something remarkable here. Compared with all previous games like this one I think the combat aspects are the best they've ever been. I'm very satisfied. The game certainly needs some work in some areas, such as more voices...got tired of the same old voices when docking. Still, any problem is certainly minor. I've been enjoying this game a great deal. A word of warning, if it grabs you, you better have a loooot of free time.

X3 the reunion
This makes up for what the original freelancer lacked. More cargo hold space, and building of stations and buying of fleets of ships. This game I bought a big lots for nothing. But it is mind boggling with all the stuff in this game. Buy your own factories, make your own automated trade routs. Buy upgrades new ship and make lots of money. In other words very good game.
