This is what space games should be about: lush scenery, freedom, and room to roam. “Elite” is dead. Long live X2.90GameSpy
If you are looking for a cross between a 3D spreadsheet and “Battlestar Galactica,” with a side of patience and a twist of plot, then X2 lands right in your space station.87PC Gameworld
Though its not a masterpiece and falls in the growing crowd of space simulators like “FreeLancer,” it’s a game that almost everyone will appreciate.84GameZone
One of the most involving space sims released for a while and it’s only let down by a complex and rough interface design and the dodgy voice acting.80IncGamers

If you’d enjoy a solid trade sim set in outer space, then check out X2, but don’t forget to bring as much patience as possible. [Feb 2004, p.50]75Play Magazine
Even a game with outstanding eventual depth needs to give players some evidence early on that rewards will eventually apprear. [Mar 2004, p.69]50Computer Games Magazine
A deep game worthy of exploration and discovery – you’ll just have to exhibit nigh-infinite patience with its glacially slow build-up and general unfriendliness. [Mar 2004, p.86]70Computer Gaming World
With the depth of everything and overall graphical sophistication in X2, it could have been a much better title. [Feb 2004, p.112]70Game Informer
You’re probably looking at a good thirty to forty hours of gameplay before you start to touch on the high-level possibilities of X2.50Eurogamer
There are so many details packed into this game that the learning curve is not so much a curve as it is a cliff and more than a little persistence will be required to get anywhere in this game.40eToychest
X2 contains a great sandbox adventure complicated by an ignorable single-player story and fiendish menu driven control system.60Adrenaline Vault
