Is X3 any good?

I played X1 Gold, but it got boring after a while.  As this was the first 
game that played like Elite I picked it up.

I've since then realised since playing RPG's such as Betrayal at Krondor and 
space sims like Freelancer, that the best type of game to go for today is 
one with the best of both worlds.  In other words one with a diverse open 
universe that doesn't stop you exploring whilst at the same time has a 
strong story that you can follow such that you feel immersed in the game and 
feel part of it and get a greater feel for the character you are playing and 
those you interact with.

Is X3 any good?

Thanx.
