This game isn't so bad but the GFX rendering could do with some improvements and few to pick up. But if you like to expand your mind with Crosswords, Wordsearch and Chain Letters, so ahead, but don't spend your points too often.

This game may not have crosshairs or a chance of winning near above Normal level, but if you use the Iron Sights and grenades in most extreme cases, please do so. Be sure to allow your Game Options to make a red trail for spending in the Trader shop. Trust me you better with those.

And best invite or arrange under 6 folk to join you to cooperate, but the over 6 player slot servers won't be "Ranked" or allow your Perk to Upgrade.

Well since it's release, I'd would of rated no due to the bugs and negative head-start. But if you are patient enough to wait for the bugs to be wiped and want to help EgoSoft out by reporting bugs and secret flaws in EgoSoft Forums provided, like me...yes.

Today it seems like Egosoft had managed to made good redemption on improving this game along with some cool DLCs. But be sure to report and spot for any bugs to Egosoft Forums for the sake of this game to not ruin other folks gameplay. This game deserves a second chance!

To report bugs based on X-Series EgoSoft games please read this topic and learn the instructions:

This is game is praised for finally being involved with the Earth race since I waited 10 years back in X-BTF for the "Return to Earth" storyline and flying on new Earth built ships. The GFX and quality is truly amazing and the controls are not bad.

Despite trying to climb up the slow learning curve, this game should be awarded and listed as the best unoffical successor to Elite or Frontier: Elite II, due to the high similarities.

Also, my retail version of this game had some bugs since I first bought it when it was on the market since it's debut. Bare in mind it isn't uncommon that most Modern games around in this decade, can have a dodgy headstart. So please make sure you report any important bugs to EgoSoft Forums provided. They cannot help you if you cannot explain the bug assertively and clearly to them.

And if you do decide to play a game like this, don't get committed to start a space campaign that you want to keep in the long term. Because EgoSoft made some changes back in X-Tension v1.4 near 2000 when my saves needed replaced for the TL class for X-Tension v2. And I won't be surprised that happened for X3TC when the patch reached to v3 onwards.

One very important note, if you use Money Cheat, Reputation Cheat or use Script Editor, you will no longer unlock achievements, so DON'T use any Cheats or Mods. Personally I use Money Cheat on this game predecessor as I really didn't want to waste time rebuilding my Space Empire and Reputation as that will take months - years even to complete this game. But this game is the best of all of the X-Series game so far, and it is more enhanced and easy-to-use in comparsion to X3: Reunion.

So my simple final advice is: No Money Cheat, no modifications and use the spoilers at your own risk for when you are totally stuck!

This game is exactly like X-BTF and X-Tension, but more complex and challenging. So you maybe better trying X-Beyond The Frontier first, in order to avoid struggling to climb up the slow learning curve, for this game. The best tip is to avoid Kha'ak M3s and M2 class ships as well as Xenon M2 ships, as those nasties can tear your ship into scrap metal in seconds.

If you already mastered X-BTF and X-Tension, then you maybe best to use Money Cheat as trying to rebuild your Space Empire is time consuming. Trust me, you best off using Money Cheat - just enough for a Argon M3 equiped with as much it can carry and the best shields & lasers. But for this game it is maybe best NOT to use any Cheats or Mods that will "***modify***" your stats - that will mess it up. You may feel to regret having your Stats modified but it is up to you and use the Money cheats AT YOUR OWN RISK!

Don't use any untested or not so promising addons or mods that may ruin your saves, as those things can corrupt your saves. As that will mean you will have to start all over again, if that is the case. And please don't shoot at ships or stations except those belonging to Pirates, Xenon and Kha'ak. Otherwise your saves will have your stats with a negative and irreversible reputation.

If you are Manga/Anime Kawaii fan and want a feel on what it is like to be in a Japanese Environment, GO FOR IT. It comes with a Bilingual dialogue provided in the software and hosted with two cute schoolgirls.

This is a good place to promote Anime Kawaii Girls and to help you feel comfortable and prepared when you like to go to "Nintendo Land" but maybe wise to learn the important manners in Japan and learn Japanese!

A EA game and no longer supports Steam and GameSpy will cease it's support and BF2 will die.

This is much better than the original as you can regain slow-mo bullet time when waiting or resting, but most importantly, it contains more of your favourite weapons, especially if you were disappointed that the MP5 and AK47 weren't in the original. And the story line is more interesting as it contains more of Max's love life. So yes, buy this game and you be surprised on what else this game features!

This Simulator application appears to be broken with the keyboard controls not defined properly and the graphic FPS is slow at near above average quality on my new PC. I don't think it contains some of the other factual buses for the UK or US cities, mainly like Red London Buses or even the classic Volvo Alisa B55 that were popular.

So in my honest opinion, no. Because it needs a lot of work and effort to make this sim-program well built - like including a wide selection of buses, enhanced tutorials, fixed controls and smooth GFX. And the city environment is in Germany but the bulletin boards and bus door and dashboard button texts are in German but not in English.

This game is priceless, not only it has more problem solving test chambers, a longer storyline and more maps, but it contains some good Human Relations humour from the British Bot, Wheatley. You can also play as Co-op with your friends and solve more portal problem solving.

If you are keen on Science or a Sci-Fi fan then this is the game for you. The solving ideas aren't that hard as the key parts are for looking at flat white surfaces, as portals only work in there, working out the gravity, pitch and yaw when jumping from portal to portal. The clues aren't that cryptic for trying to work your way to journey on in the game. But this game also comes with new features like light bridges, suction rays, replusion gels and many more.

Well what are you waiting for? Buy this awesome game!
