Don't buy if you want the full X3 experience

Don't buy this if you want the full X3:Reunion experience. X3 is a really huge and complex game, and if you enjoy building an empire by trading and fighting your way there, you'll love it. However, this mac version does NOT work well with the many community expansions that are available. Most importantly, it doesn't work with the mighty Extended mod which adds tons and tons of ships, systems, weapons, etc, to the game.

Some have likened the Extended mod to a full expansion and it's free and of very high quality. You will not be able to use it with this version nor will you be able to run most of the other mods, like Battlestar, etc. I recommend getting the Windows version and running it in boot camp if you want the full experience on a Mac.

I've also seen a few bugs in this version, not seen in the PC version. Some graphical issues and I've even locked up a few times.

The game installed and does run, but without supporting mods, and the reported problems/bugs, some of which I've experienced first hand, I don't think this product deserves more than two stars.

Don't buy X3

Don't buy X3. The game might be fun, but the frustration of poor product support far outweighs the enjoyment. I've had numerous problems with the game, submitted tickets to the tech people and so far gotten no resolution what-so-ever. If they can't fix your problem, they simply quit responding. I have a support ticket still open and haven't heard from them in two months. I've asked for my money back and that certainly didn't get a response either. Spend your money somewhere else. I rated this game 1 star because the website wouldn't let me leave it at 0. It doesn't even deserve 1 star as far as I'm concerned.
