X2- The Threat (Mac) - Software Publisher's Description:
X2: The Threat (Mac) review:3 stars (Fun game, but needs work) - I purchased this game based on a review which stated it was a 3D version of Ambrosia's Escape Velocity on steriods. That much is definitely true. More ships, more wares, more complexity to the economic model, and there's just so much further you can go with this game. Unfortunately, it seems (as of 7/20/2005) that there are still quite a few bugs to work out, and I've found that I restart the game every other hour or so. I still recommend the game, but it may be wise to wait until a new patch is available to work out some of the quality problems. X2: The Threat (Mac) Features: CD Explore a massive Universe, where every object has a purpose and every ship has an agenda State-of-the-art graphics engine utilising all the latest Direct X capabilities including bump-mapping and volumetric shading Trade and manufacture a huge variety of commodities within a truly dynamic and evolving economy Discover lucrative trading routes and defend them at all costs Acquire and command over 70 different ships from single-seat fighters, through cargo freighters to 2km-long destroyers
