I didn't play the first I-War, either, but I'm enjoying I-War 2.
Even with the latest patch, the game has a few 'bugs' (well actually
I don't know if they're bugs.  Near the beginning of the game, you
get intelligence briefing about a distress call during flight, if
you go back to base to change weapon loadout (as I did), when you
relaunch the distress call is gone...)

I bought I-War2 at CompUSA for $10 (jewel-CD only.)  But you might
try checking all your local stores (Circuit City, Best Buy, etc.)
for leftover copies of the original boxed version.  My local Circuit
City had a beat-up boxed I-War2 for $9.99 (but I already had bought
the jewel-CD version from CompUSA.)

Check www.compusa.com.
