Overall a better approach to the rather basic one that the first game took. Now you can move up and down and it feels like a proper space sim. The pay off in this one being that you can only fly smaller ships compared to the capital ships of the first game.

Can't really remember much of the story, it mainly delves into the life of a character from the original that only shows up towards the start. I remember thinking the story was pretty okay but as you know the main character is around by the time of the original game it does remove a lot of the stakes.

If you are a fan of space flight Sims in whatever form they may take then I do recommend this one.
