Ever wanted to do your own thing?
X-2 is a strategy game consisting of one goal to control the games so called X-Universe, through means of trade, marketing and war. But the best feature of this game is that you don't have to follow the plot storyline.
The games character is Kyle Brennan's (X: Beyond the Frontier) son Julian Gardna as a space pirate that is given a second chance by the Argon Commander Ban Dana, and the game for the player starts here.
From this point you can follow the plot and proceed to the end in which the game is still left open for extended play. Or take off into the X-Universe to explore, build stations, trade and control good, or start wars.
This feature of playing you own game is the best feature that I like in the game as one can build there own empire in the game with stations making goods and income and fleets of ships to transport and defend ones empire.
The game supports a good graphics for a game of its day and has by far the best gameplay of a sim game on the market even today. The ability to do ones own thing is the feature that makes this game one of the best most enjoyable to play. Give a unlimited level of custom game play to the player to choose what path they want to follow. This game should be considered for one who is willing to wait through the very slow start to the game that usually takes a week to get started, but a wait that is well worth it.
