Review, 82%. "Play it patiently, explore, fight and enjoy... It just might do the trick before the heavy hitters like Starlancer and Freelancer arrive."

Review by Dave Markell, 3/5. "Beyond the frontier, but not beyond Elite."

Review by John Bye, 3/10. "Overall this game is dull, tedious, repetitive, boring, and highly frustrating. Avoid at all costs."

Review by Johnny B, D. "While not a technical disaster or a malicious creature, it is nonetheless a stunning example of how to make a game that lacks the quintessentially important fun factor."

Review by Trent C. Ward, 77%. "Not bad, but it's still not Elite."

Review by John Misak, 78%. "This is one of those rare games that does what it sets out to do, doesn't stumble often, but doesn't leave you with your jaw hanging either."

Review by J.B. Peck. "Hardcore space-combat heads will probably find X slow and frustrating. But people looking for a game that takes them away to another world where they can really live, at least for a while, will enjoy X's otherworldly immersion."

Review by Kareem Harper, 3/5. "X during the first few sessions can be a joy to play. Poor design choices, and repetitive actions, keeps X from being as memorable and fun as Elite was."

Review by Quinton Evans, 60%. "If you loved Frontier: Elite 2 then you'll love this. Although if you're more of a Descent: Freespace fan, you will hate it with a passion and possibly a hammer."
