Publisher's description
From Enlight Software :X2: The Threat is space simulation on the PC taken to a new level: trade your way through the space lanes and achieve mogul status; fight your way through dozens of interlinked missions within an all-new storyline; build your empire of stations and ships across the universe; think if your next move could be your last as the universe reacts to your actions.
A first-person space experience designed for today's gamer, X2: The Threat lets you discover new worlds and races and become a trader, bounty hunter, pirate, miner, or a cunning combination of them all. The uneasy peace that befalls the universe is about to be broken--can you meet the Threat head on?
This playable demo lets you jump into a test universe and run through tutorials on the space game's trading, combat, and other gameplay elements.

Version: X2: The Threat demo
"abso-bloody-lutely brilliant"
Pros: the graphics!
theyre great plus this is quite an old game
you can do just about anything in space - you have a ship, you can upgrade it or buy new ones - or buy a new fleet - or build a trade empire - fight and take over - this is a cool game!
Cons: i wouldnt recommend using a pc at the required specifications - youll be waiting forever just for it to load up.
you cant do much in this demo - its mainly tutorials!

Version: X2: The Threat demo
Summary: The controls are very "floaty" for mouse users. May be better with a joystick but im not going to buy one just to play this game. The keyboard configuration is absolutely horrific.
