I've spend countless of hours lately in world of X2. And all I can do it agree with most reviews about how awesome the game is. However, there's a few quirks that annoyed me enough to want to write this review. Framerates are very fluctuating for some players. People with ATI Radeon 9800 and monster specs has reported it to be very choppy. Other people have no trouble at all. For my own part, I have both - some places I have no trouble. At other times, I've 10ish FPS, and this is with most graphical effects turned off. Personally, I find combat in this game to be highly dissatisfactory. Freelancer pulled this off much, much better. Even Elite had better combat, in my opinion. The controls are bad. Perhaps it's better with a joystick (which I don't have), I can't say. Combine bad controls with bad AI, and you have many collisions. Which is expensive. The rest of the game is all dandy, I think.
