Summary
X3 hurls you back into the most realistic universe created, right into the middle of an epic, intergalactic story filled with twists and turns at every jump gate. Become the hero once more as you trade, build and and fight your way to victory.
X3 is a world where the factories and starships look just like the real thing. Once again, this X game uses Egosoft's 'Artificial Life' system, which creates a living, breathing universe that evolves in real-time, meaning that all your actions have an irrevocable effect on the destiny of the world you inhabit. It's refreshing, as some might argue that this is a feature not even real life can offer. The gameworld also has greatly improved physics, as huge space stations drift in planetary orbit and smaller ships ping off into oblivion when swatted like flies.
The game features all manner of new technologies to explore and new things to build, and the epic X storyline continues from where X2: The Threat left off. The Argons are still locked in a bitter struggle with the Khaak, but now a new enemy brings a new dynamic to the conflict, and those dastardly Yaki pirates still threaten everyone with their boundless greed and ambition.
It's down to you to solve the puzzle of the mysterious disappearing ship - is it linked in some way to an artefact left behind by a long-vanished civilisation? And what have those Yaki pirates got to do with it all? The only way to find out is to first make sure you are strong enough to deal with it all, so build for victory.
The Game of the Year Edition includes all the updates and features up to version 1.4: Mobile Mining, Space Station wrecks and the new Split caiman Miner ship.
