Anyone ever play this game?

It looks like it might be a decent Space sim - they did give it a 4 out of 5 even though the review was comical.

Amiga Format predates that by a decade.
 
The X3 review was funny but they were also dead on.
The game is a little TOO open and free.

Imagine if you were playing Oblivion and nobody told you to take your amulet to the priest and they had a terrible interface to find the map and the quest log.
You would wander aimlessly and eventually get bored and give up.

But it is a nice change from Freelancer. Many folks loved the optional stuff in between the main campaign but there wasnt enough, and that annoying Miko would always bug you to help her out and keep the plot moving forward.
After you beat Freelancer it doesnt feel very satisfying to chase pirates or run trade goods anymore.

I understand EVE Online is a good alternative but it takes too long to get stuff. Its a long ass grind like most other MMO's.
 
I love this one cause of the description of all the events

This quote from it the article reminded of my below comment "Find Extreme Watersports CD. Throw it to the other side of the room again. Keep doing this 'til you get bored."


I also remember reading a review of a game where the guy listed his pros and cons in a similar fashion to this--i couldnt stop laughing
pros: can be fun to throw the disc against the wall
cons: disc can possibly shatter causing physical harm
