X2: The Threat Trailer
Critic Reviews27
Gets bogged down in a few of the traps created by its ambitious, free-form design, but an invigorating game emerges anyway. It's certainly in the same constellation as "Freelancer," if a lot more challenging.

Loaded with enough features to keep a serious space simulation nut busy for a long time, however, its steep learning curve and surface dust can cause many a casual gamer to shy away from it, opting out for something along the lines of Freelancer instead.

If you'd enjoy a solid trade sim set in outer space, then check out X2, but don't forget to bring as much patience as possible.
