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.

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.
