    It looks like a great game on the cover but, there are many game-killers. For one, people not familiar with this sort of massive-space-sim genre it will be nearly impossible and incredibly confusing to get into it.

    I could see this being a great game if you have 18 hours a day to really get to grips with it.

I have not played the story game and would be interested to hear what people have to say about it, but at the moment i fear i might go insane through boredom if i give the game another go.

I could find no way to reverse the mouse Y axis and as a result I can't and don't play the game. It is too bad that magazines and game sites don't get down on games for this. It would be so simple for the programmers to make all the controls reconfigurable that there is absolutely no reason not to do it for every single game and that includes consoles not just PC games. Unfortunately this fact isn't in most reviews so I am still buying games only to find out afterwards that I can't change the controls, and it's the rare game that doesn't need it. One of the reasons I play PC games, besides the graphics, is to have better control. I use a programmable gamepad and a mouse (simultaneously because I use the mouse in my left hand) to play almost all games but having a programmable gamepad doesn't help if you can't reconfigure the controls. Instead of useless age ratings for games, they should pass a gameplay certification and one of the requirements should be FULLY reconfigurable controls. It's 2008 dammit, not 1980.… Expand

    I can't see how anyone could really want to put so much effort into learning how to use this game. I meen the game 'could' be good if i new how to use it. But then its so slow and borring its like a mental challege just to stick in to learn how to work everything. The controls are just anouther thing that gets in the way. They should make people complete this game as a punishment!

    Egosoft and Enlight have some explaining to do. My X3 discs were missing files that aborted my install of the game. What good is a game that won't install?!! And Enlight's Tech Support was an exercise in futility. I didn't need another $40 set of coasters; I got those when I purchased Master of Orion 3.

    I was off to such a good start. My copy of the game came with all the CD's in the box. And none of the code was missing - the game installed without a hitch. However, what did install is basically an expansion pack for X2. And it's chock full of bugs!! Definitely wasn't worth what I shelled out for it. Major disappointment.

    Went back to Walmart - they insisted in checking themselves - got a man in a suit to examine the CD's (in case i'd faked them I guess ?) In return I insisted they check the CD's they were replacing them with ...guess what ... they were blank as well !!

    After nearly 90 minutes in the shop i left with a full set of CD's with data intact.

    Fired up my system, spent 40 minutes installing and registering with Egosoft (don't bother with Enlight, they know nothing, go to Egosoft, they know a little bit more, but not much)

    The menu stuttered, thought it must be HD cacheing, but the stuttering didn't go away, MY system is way above minimum spec (Intel 3200 HT - 6800 Ultra 256Meg and a gig of RAM) but the game played in slow motion

    Fiddled for an hour, downloaded something called frap to see how fast it was running. played with settings and turned them all to minimum (at which point the game changed from looking like a fab space sim like in the magazines, to something from the 1990's) defragged hard drive, messed with grafix settings on desktop, disabled loads of background processes. frap said a get about 12fps sometimes as low as 1fps

    for a game that should look spectacular, but now looks immesurably worse than freelancer, this just ain't good enough. in short it's unlpayable even with the second patch. people in the forums at Ego are talking about a 3rd patch to get the game running.

    Should looked here first, seems like i'm in good company, though why the magazine scores so hi? do they get the same game, or they running it on Cray 50?

    Gameplay should be about enjoyable anticipation, then exciting discovery.
    Many more beta releases like this and it will be more about "pay to test unfinished game, then give up and play something that works"

    The whole experience is very dissapointing. if i could give a negative score i would. feel like someones just nicked $40 dollars outa my wallet and wasted a day of my time - thats not a zero, thats a negative ten.    … Expand

(over a very long time, i do have a life) This is coming from an experienced player, one who loved the game to almost its full extent. I found that this game had so much potential, but the complexity of the interface is what did it to me. Just trying to remotely outfit one freighter so you can let it go off on its own and try to make you some money while you're out fighting is a daunting task all on its own. The learning curve for the game itself is very steep, and even a basic movie tutorial to go over the controls and basic concepts of the X3 universe would have helped many. the game is beautifully made, and the graphics are outstanding, but it's how you play the game, and how long you have to play the game to get anywhere that's the problem. each and every menu item has at least two ways to get to it. if you want to go to your personal file and change the name of your pilot or something, you spend half an hour rummaging in different menus, just to find the "Pilot" icon and realize that it was the other "Pilot" Icon three pages ago that you needed. everything has you running in circles. For the next x: game that comes out, i strongly suggest that the interface be completely reconstructed to allow for a much simpler menu system, and remote control system for governing your fleet. there is so much potential in this game that remains untapped it is freaking rediculous. i'm not sure what the developpers were thinking when they put this on the shelves. it took me 120 hours to realize that if i was in the same sector as one of my other ships, i could remotely fly it around and do everything in that ship from the safety of my own. Another problem is the amount of time required to get any experience with the races in the game. there were many a night where i had to leave the computer running with 10 laser towers in each sector just to get enough rep to be able to buy a new ship. I still don't have enough experience and race's sectors are the only place i fly in now. If there is going to be another x game, and i'm sure there will be, it'll have to be seriously re-designed to allow for its many functions to be simplistic and user friendly.

What X3R tries to do has been done better a thousand times before with more realistic everything. I actually bought this game when it came out many years ago and when the computer I intended to play it on died it sat in a box for many years waiting for a machine that could run it. I dug it out recently (being a space freak) and thought it'd be worth a bash... but was I ever wrong. The learning curve is beyond vertical with no tutorial and no introductions, Just an endless list of email spam the first time you do something new, and if you can't find your ingame inbox you're out of luck anyway. There doesn't appear to be any way to plot a course, you've got to do it from memory and if you happen to forget one of the totally generic and forgettable names along the way you'll get lost or dock at the wrong base, and forget about issuing orders in a hurry if you're flying with an automated ship.

    Trading is completely inscrutable, prices don't fluctuate nearly as much as the game claims and the only useful profits are small-potatoes on short hops for minimal returns, add to that the fact that there is no easy way to gain freelance work and no real money to be made off contract and the only sane choice left seems to be piracy. But even then it's such a huge grind-fest the game box may as well have contained a pepper mill instead of a DvD.

    The interface is BEYOND disgusting, flight is fine and the addition of inertia to the turns and acceleration is nice, It's not actual newtonian physics but it's nice, but doing everything else that requires doing in a space sim seems to have been made MUCH harder by way of compensating. Navigating the menus seems to require its own manual, and the context dependent keypresses mean that if you're in a menu screen and need to stop in a hurry or turn off the autopilot you're SOL. I have gotten lost in the menus more times than I care to count and it took me half an hour to figure out how to buy stuff, even with help from the game forums.

    The storyline is instantly uninteresting. You're dumped into the middle of a universe sometime after the last instalment, your father in a coma after an encounter with the bad guys, and no reason to care about either his plight or their motivations. You're expected to know how to fly (fairly straightforward) but everything else is left inscrutable and unless you do some reading you'll never learn how. the game has some wonderful innovations (like an economy-tracking device) but they're not worth holding out for. I have seen better work done on every facet of X3s gameplay some of them by indie firms producing free software. This game SHOULD get a 1 just for being a space sim, but what it's doing is poisoning the well by the fact of its every existence. If people think 'X3: reunion' when they think of space sims then the game has done a disservice to the genre.    … Expand

    Chouette graphiquement et c'est vraiment le seul compliment qu'on pourra lui faire, car pour le reste, on a beau chercher, on ne voit rien de valable dans cette daube intersidérale sidérante d'amateurisme dans ses mécaniques bancales et mal foutues. L'interface est un bordel sans nom et l'ergonomie la plus élémentaire y est bafouée régulièrement avec un aplomb qui laisse pantois.
