Title: Over-rated
Product review: As a x-com series fan I was disappointed at this release. Yes the graphics are better BUT a lot of the x-com physics are missing. For example throwing grenades now is hit and miss whereas with the original you could hit walls and have the grenade bounce back. Also missing are a good variety of aliens, UFOs and a poor variety of maps which seem lifeless anyway. You'll find yourself doing missions which look almost exactly the same each time and you'll get bored of it very easily. Another thing is you only really have one operation base the rest can only be used for interceptors and the whole base management thing is a dumbed down version of the original.There are user mods around which make it a lot better but still it's a mediocre game. I wouldn't play it without the mods! Quite frankly you're better off with UFO: Alien Invasion which is still under development but is free and more true to the original (and fun as well).
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
