First Cities in Motion was one of the finest sim experiences I ever had. I pre-ordered CIM 2 but I regret I did as I was quite disappointed. The biggest drawback that it feels like the game could have been more polished. I deeply dislike their DLC policy to make the game more complete and they are very expensive for just few models.

One of the best games I ever played. Is fun, is challenging and it has a great storyline. The endings? are one of the best voice acting ever, and most touching moments. Voice acting of some NPCs could have been improved but overall the game have been an absolute terrific experience.

X3 Albion Prelude have more than X3 Terran conflict to offer. In this expansion the interface is made clearer and more user friendly. There are a lot of bug fixes and the new politic economic changes add spice to the game. With 3.0 update there are a lot more of generic missions. There are corporation missions too and the plot missions are very enjoyable. Honestly this is what is best out there at this time. This game is just complete. You can do everything, manage everything. With Bonus pack addition(addons for game that have been certified by Egosoft so your game is NOT modified aka you can do achievements) gives all that you might need to make your life a bit easier. You want to fight? you have complete control over your ship=rolling, strafing all directions,moving in a real 3D environment. You can help the war effort too and make a difference over control of war sectors. Want to trade? start small and grow bigger. Want to exploit the market? make a trading empire and with the use of the stock market you can make money quiet easier than X3TC, which for some is a bad thing but is a relief for others. Want to explore? go ahead there are new sectors new mechanics In phew words: is just an amazing game. It has a steep learning curve but is really worth it. See it as a book that slowly unfolds towards you. The game doesnt rush and you dont need to know everything in order to enjoy it. Take your time and take it easy and be ready to be absorbed by this game. Give it a shot on steam happens to be on often quite regularly with x3 terran conflict. (the x3ap is a dlc)
