    I assume you´re talking about FF X2?

    If so, no, I intend to buy it on wednesday when I get my copy of BGDA2.
    I´ve read quite alot about it though. Should be a great game.

    Also, Sarevok, you might want to play FF X before this one...


    If it isn´t the FF game, then what is it?

    [​IMG] I have not played it but my best mate has it and he hooked already, the graphics are pretty cool. I especially like all the different costumes you can wear. :)

    I have played The Threat some time ago, borrowed the game, but I don't intend to buy it. The game has some potential, but as a MMO...ELITE ;) That would be really great and I think they are doing something like that as we speak.

    But for now: game is really slow, you can get money from missions, from trade, from pirating and from production, but you need a LOT of credits to buy factory station. I belive you can also mine the asteroids, but I didnt figure out how, but it seems as it doesn't need as much money as you need for mining station. Missions (well i finished 3-4) are nice, but mostly: go there and return alive, or maybe to shoot somebody later... But biggest problem the game has is flying (IMHO), because the ship acts weirdly and you can buy some improvements to handle it better, but it is not enough, and the fastest ships are to "inertion challenging" for me (sorry but english is my 3rd language :) so I miss the expresion).

    There are several races, and each race has different ships, so there are plenty of ships to fly, from single seat fighter, to transporter or even huge battleship.

    You can buy a fleet of ships and give them some commands, like attack, go there, buy, sell, but i didnt find option to make a list that would be in a loop (for trading), but you can tell him to find best place to sell/buy...

    Overall nice game, but I really dont have time to do trade runs over and over again and I cant fight well, so hex editor is best way to earn cash :D

    Graphics are really nice, but I would sacrifice it for Tie Fighter's flight system (which I played several times, Collector's CD too on a mouse, and I wouldnt trade it for joystick!)
