    I'm sure this game has loads of content & potential however the learning curve on this beast is so steep it's practically vertical.

    The tutorial missions offer a basic overview of controls, however there are no real pointers when you get into the actual game.

    This game could have done with a few tutorial contracts to help new players on there way.

    I have seen many people state that it's best to watch Youtube guides on how to play the game but they are all at least 40 minutes to an hour long and often in several parts!

    I want to learn how to play the game whilst i'm actually playing it, not close the game down & stare at youtube for several hours before I even remotely know what to do.

    A lot of players have commended this game on not holding your hand but I don't think the answer is to let go of your hand, run away and turn off the light switch!

    ++(UPDATE)++

    After finally figuring out how to play this game I must say I am impressed with the immersion and scale of the universe so I have decided to change my score from a 5 to a 8.
    A large jump I know but despite the frustrating opening hours I have grown to enjoy the game.

    I still maintain however that it needs to be more accessible to new players by guiding you through the first few confusing hours of what to actually do.
    In short Iv'e decided this game is worth it but you will have to sit through some boring long winded tutorial videos before you even think about sitting in that cockpit.

    Men..this game is so addictive. The whole exploring stuff is stunning. Are u into sci fi, then this game is a must buy.

    Reminder that this game has a steep learning curve.

    A hardcore space simulation with a relatively steep learning curve.

    There is a lot of Elite that is very well crafted, but several puzzling design decisions hamper what could be an outstanding title. The core flight and combat gameplay is tight and engaging. You're free to pursue whatever profession you desire, trading, combat, smuggling, piracy. Where the game really stumbles is through the reputation system by which you unlock missions. It essentially forces you to grind reputation through repetitive tasks.

    This could almost be completely ignored, if Elite's biggest flaw didn't exist. Player interaction is extremely minimal. Exciting and compelling encounters with real people is what this game desperately needs.

    If you're a big fan of space sims, it's a no brainer. Sci Fi fans in general should check it out. But it's certainly a niche title with a couple really frustrating shortcomings. The potential for greatness is there, but unfortunately seems just out of grasp.
