 Horrible May 5, 2006

I first heard about this in 2004 and the idea for it sounded incredible and like it would be a lot of fun. When the game actually came out, I was so frustrated with it that I hardly even got the chance to actually play it. The instructions are very confusing and it feels like they have left things out. I had to go to the Internet and read fan sites to figure out how to play the game. The main problem however is with the user interface. It is incredibly poorly designed, and it is difficult to interact with quickly enough to have an enjoyable game.
This game might be fun if they took the story and gave it to another designer, but as it is now it's trash.

I heard that the reviewers who gave the previous release a 5 star rating (Battlecruiser Millenium: GOLD) were all devoted fans or even "orchestra" of Mr. Smart.I would really suggest all of you to check to a website like gamestop or something like that before geting a somewhat objective review of the game.
The thing that is the most ridiculous is that all of Mr. Smart's devoted fans are talking the same garbage about X2 and Freelancer ("...it has ONLY good graphics.The immersion sux...blah blah blah" ... something like that). So please, read the reviews on a more objective site.
I was a customer of his (in the past years) but my status totaly changed when i challenged my opinions on his forums.Does "Fascism" ring a bell? In a democracy you can speak up - negative points of view are flamed and people get banned (even not being able to DL a patch afterwards - stay away from the forums)
About this game: Its quite a potential that all other developers had picked it up before this game was up.Just look E.V.E. ONLINE - now THAT's a game.X3 shows much promise. Its the depth that lacks and the broken promises that Mr. Smart (not so smart anyway) made years back. (Like transporting to other ships, a "WORKING" interface,far better graphics,able to controll SEA vehicles...etc.).The thing that frustrates me most is how he gets away with that :) In my opinion,flaming others because someone doesnt like the game is self-explainatory. Its just toping the fact that the game is done pretty bad for these day's standards - no excuses !!! WE ARE THE ONE'S WHO BUY IT !!!
Graphics:old and poor (no spatial effects like debris and a real feeling of SPACE.There is only a bitmap of nebulae and thats about it).The shielding effect is the only one i liked most - and the spaceship's design is impressive but not unseen in other games.
Sound:bad and boring.
Gameplay:Has huge potential.Its a verry complex game but lacks depth and a sense of having a part in the UC universe.AIR SEA SPACE LAND ... well ,SEA missions do not exist - no SEA carriers to play with and thus being in command of such :).Good if you love going to planets,discovering (dead) "new" places on all the globe.The idea of a "nuclear" war is somewhat cool,but dissapointing.Its nice to play for about a few hours,but then it gets really boring - no NPC interaction leave everything to your immagination.The idea is great,but Smart's work is not so SMART :)
I hope i didnt hurt ANYONE's feelings :)
Cheers!

This game would be great if it had a tutorial on it and a manual that actually told you how to play it, the maker has a good vision but he alone only knows how to play the game.
Do not buy this game and you'll be very happy and still have $20 in your wallet.

This game has a horrible user interface and a nearly useless manual. The premise is awesome but the execution is terrible. I don't think that I have much more to add to the reviews here other than to say that I truly tried to like this game. The premise is so darn cool that I really really wanted to like it. I read the manual. I re-read the manual. I played it with the manual next to me. Finally I had to give it up.
I am very very disappointed in this game.

When I started to play this game it had terrible graphics and the game commands are very complicated. I am glad that my friend opened it before I did, because I am returning it right now! Its horrible!
