I read "Ender's Game" a while ago and really liked it. Are there any good Sci-Fi books out there somewhat similar to it?

First I'd recommend you read the whole series. Others in the Ender series include Speaker for the Dead, Xenocide, and Children of the Mind. The Shadow series begins with Ender's Shadow, a parallel novel of Ender's Game told from Bean's perspective, and then progresses to tell Earth's history. Shadow of the Hegemon, Shadow Puppets, Shadow of the Giant.
The author is Orson Scott Card, and he's great. I've read about 90% of his books and have yet to be disappointed although they're not all science fiction.
As far as other science fiction goes, I've only read a handful of star wars novels. They can't really compare to Ender though although they are exciting and fast-paced.

If you didn't want to read the whole series, which, I agree, is really very good; I've read 3 of the books and heard nothing but rave revies from folks who've read the whole series... But if you wanted something that wasn't Orson Scott Card, I'd check out The Sparrow, by Mary Doria Russell.
Also, in the 2005: Best Short Stories, there is a short story called 'Andra's Game' that is a current application of Enders Game that is VERY good.

If you want something a bit like Ender's Game, but by a different author, Lois McMaster Bujold's Miles Vorkosigan series is pretty good... The main character is awesome.

Ender's Game is apart of a series. Orsen Scott Card is the author. Very good writer.

Try Ender's shadow. It is basically the same story, but told through the eyes of Bean.

I personally like the last one. Its called Children of the Mind. Very good. I suggest you read all of the series. It has somewhere between 6-8 books in the series.
