X3 was a huge disappointment. It's basically Truck Simulator in space. If you enjoy the latter, you'd like the former. It's limited to maps instead of free-roaming. Bought the complete X3 set and started with Albion Prelude. Don't think I'll go back to it.
If you're into top-down, I'd recommend RingRunner: Flight of the sages. It's one of my all-time faves. The story is great, I enjoy the mechanics, but it can be a little overwhelming at first.
