I was very disappointed with X-wing Alliance. The impression that I got was that it was basically X-wing vs TIE fighter with a facelift and the scope of the game needlessly crippled, probably in a panic attempt to make it unlike x-wing vs TIE fighter. They took away almost all options to play anything other than a linear campaign on the rebel side. And the multiplayer options regressed horribly - the options for competitive games were rudimentary, and it didn't even allow you to play the single player campaign in co-op.

But it had some interesting mods for it. There's an impressive graphical update - replacement models for most of the ships in the game. And there's a patch that allows two players to control one craft, with the second player controlling a turret - too bad the multiplayer is so bad. Maybe there's also patches for some the other issues.
