Sorry I haven't played it.
Yet from what I can read on the Microsoft homepage, it looks kind of good.
I'm a single player person, so perhaps this game is what I like.
Gamespy says: "Graphically mundane and repetitive "randomized" missions get boring; weak economic model."
Rather spend your money on an online casino.

Played it on someone else's pc at the last lan I went to a couple of weeks ago. It looks quite good, and plays okay. Didn't have time to go through any missions as such though.

Its ok to start with, nothing special but not crap.
Then you play it for 10 hours or so, and the word 'repetative' crops up - it has little/no longevity.
X² pisses all over Freelancer - but its not out yet. :/

Maybe, but Freelancer is still pretty good.

Freelancer is fun for about half a day, then you realize how incredibly repetitive it is.
All missions simply revolve around flying to spot A via B, then blowing up a few ships. End of mission. Repeat.
Trading is dumbed down too, instead of prices that are close together and constantly shifting because of supply/demand, you have prices which are exactly the same for all but two stations, then one station is significantly cheaper and the other is significantly more expensive, no matter how many runs back and forth you do. Incredibly unchallenging.
Graphics are good, control is nice and I havent encoutered any bugs, but the game simply isnt much fun for long.

Much better. :)
Are you referring to X-Beyond the Frontier or X-Tension? X-Tension added a lot to the original that should/would have been there in the first place, but THQ rushed it out, useless bastards.

both really - I guess I have never been a fan of space games that aren't newtonian (all hail Fronteir Elite 2). having had a bit of a look at the x2 stuff, it does look alot better though, I might get it.

I'm in the US.
Well i bought it from walmart last night. It's ok so far. I can see what you mean by it being repetitive. All the free lancer missions are 'go kill this' or 'kill that ship'.
