The download is a the game. They also have a button that leads to a bunch of reviews at various sites. This game came out for the Mac first so that is where most of the reviews are.

It might not have the fully 3D and immersive enviroments like X3 but it looks like an inexpensive and fun game. In my opinion that is a good combination. TNX Blair.
