if it's the same as the pc version you have a huge universe to explore and a variety of activities to do.
and by "explore" i mean having to watch your 'fast' travel for 10min so you don't overshoot a waypoint, and by "variety" i mean repeatedly deliver packages and watch annoyingly slow landing/docking/undocking procedures.

Might be worth editing your title to include store details.

Thankyou. I'll attempt it. Using a mobile and I'm useless with it :/

If it's anything like the original classic I had on my C64 then it's worth buying an Xbox one for, that and Star Wars Battlefront

It definitely throws you in at the deep end and doesn't hold your hand either.

It is just like the original with updated graphics, annoying over shooting hyperdrive and an attempt at multiplayer... some would question if things should have moved on slightly in the last 32 years. In some ways Elite 2 had more going on, oh the good old days on Atari ST..
The first time you travel in to a system and star fills your screen is pretty epic though, the 2nd time still epic, the third time not so epic... the 100th time yawn.. you get the idea.

Yup. Although if you have a PC capable of running it then that's the MUCH better version - it has Horizons, looks prettier and will have VR support soon.
The original game was number 1 on my All-Time Best Games Of All-Time list, but that's now dropped down to number two since I started playing Elite: Dangerous. The only downsides to this remake is that the space stations spin MUCH slower so it's way too easy to dock your ship and it's WAY too easy to earn credits. I guess they had to do this because these days gamers don't have as much skill as us oldsters had and they wouldn't stop moaning about how difficult it is to dock and how difficult it is to earn a crust lol :smile:

The horizons update should be in the next couple of months. Might be worth waiting.

you need to buy brazil credit R$, i use offgamers.
you log into your gamertag at xbox.com go the bottom of the webpage and at the bottom change store region to brasil , redeem the credit and purchase.
you'll find it in your ready to install list on the xbox

Yeah, its no where near as good as frontier elite II or first encounters.
I don't see the point of it being online, I don't think I've come in to contact with another human.
Was looking at getting horizons but the unbiased reviews put me off. Still, it was only a tenner at xmas. Purchased as I was expecting to treat myself with an oculus rift for £300... which obviously didn't happen.
So I've got my oculus thrift of google cardboard headset, ps3 eyecam, phone, tridef, and moonlight / nvidia streaming which works pretty well.
Takes a little bit to setup the first time, but once registered there, you can buy again easily.
And if struggling to find a suitable address, just Google a hotel in the capital city.. :wink:

It's certainly a game you have to invest time in, a lot of time. Time and space...
