Hands down, in the top 3 games of all time (for me). Limited skills and ammo, excellent audio and music, decent enough graphics. SS2 has it all. The game is a complete package that is challenging and totally submersive.
When I first loaded up X2, I found it very confusing and "difficult". Struggling to understand how it was meant to be played and what it needed to thrive. It took a number of starts to get into it completely, but once I had a good grasp on everything, it was awesome. I learnt how to capture ships and built an empire through many hours of game-play.
