Anyone played X2 - The Threat before ?

Would like to have your views on the game.

It it a secual to X - Beyound the frontier. Which is a follow up of the old Elite and elite frontier games.

you mean a 'sequel' <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

anyway, I thought about buying it, but the reviews were just 2 mediocre about the game, I haven't found any review about it that was full of the game. So I didn't buy it

Read the reviews and played the demo - it ran fine on my PC.

I loved the Elite games and this one looked great - espesialy the graphics.

you're forgiven, and it's better to help someone so that he doesn't make the same mistake again than to let him/her keep on making mistakes... it's a smal thing to do to help someone <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />

Having played the first one x: beyond the frontier I was really looking forward to this one - but my PC can't handle it.

It played but only at the lowest settings and the cut scenes where a complete joke - chug chug chug even though they didn't look anything special!

My brother has it on his powerful PC and he thinks it's brilliant - I thought it was very promising too, but had to bring it back!

The average score on Gamerankings is 74%. The game looks rather good but I heard it was full of bugs on release. I'd reccomend to patch it first.

Another good free-form space sim is Independence War 2. Be sure to check it some day.

You'll need a directx 9 card (and a fast one too) to see it in all it's glory.

I bought a game called "Allegience" by Microsoft (online only game) and when I went online (Game Zone) to unleash wrath, there was no one there, and I couldn't play it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/memad.gif" alt="" />

I couldn't take it back to the shop and say "No one will play with me" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shame.gif" alt="" />

What a scam!

I really quite liked the first one but it was rather flawed. Amazing how they still cant beat elite even with all the snazzy graphics and huge amounts of memory available now. Ill hold off until it comes down in price, $90 seems a little rich for a game that gets a mixed bag of reviews.
