Some people would say yes. I never got into X2 very far as I had just come off
playing X-Tension or X 1.5 as it should have been known. It was so similar I
just couldn't be arsed to play it after a week. This game is more of the same
it just looks a hell of a lot better. It is fun but I worry that Egosoft are
doing games development Smart style, selling the same product over and over
again. All of their games have the same basic premise really. Space is broken
up into little grids with gates at the four cardinal points (very roughly).
Outside of this area there is usually nothing going on. You fly you ship
across this chessboard selling and fighting. If I described the game that way
to someone I honestly believe they wouldn't be able to tell which of their
four games I was referring to. The thing that makes it apart from the
graphics, which are superb, are the fan made scripts especially the
artificical life ones.
