What Gamespot Users have to say about UFO: Afterlight
- Rating:6.5
Decent game except for the bugs
Pretty decent game though it gets a bit repetitive. Major issue I've had is that it crashes every couple of missions later in the game. Makes the game much more difficult to play and ended up shelving it prior to finishi... Read Full Review

Worth the payoff for those patient enough to figure it out.
If I could say just one thing about this game I would say it needs a better learning curve. There is no manual at all in the box and no mention of it in the game. Online help and the tutorial are basically worthless. ... Read Full Review

It takes a certain type of person to like this game.
I personally love this game, I have started to play it over and over again to achieve perfection... may it be who researches what or what type of weapon a certain persons carries. I love the fact that you can tailor the... Read Full Review

The Gamespot review of this game completely missed the mark... Strategy and RPG fans, dont miss this great game!
With all due respect to the professional Gamespot reviewer, he was simply dead wrong about this game. I cant say im completely surprised though since the last UFO game also recieved a poor score on this website and that ... Read Full Review

First tutorial/mission almost stopped me from playing. Glad I didn't.
The first mission gives players a bad impression with the pathetic weapon, cartoony graphics and robot that is totally untextured. But after that it gets alot better. Gameplay::: Very fun and unique idea with both Tac... Read Full Review

Excellent game, still it can be better.
It is by far the best game in series. Astounding graphic quality for a TBS - only Silent Storm can compete whit this - excellent squad strategy. The global phase is also well done. I strongly recommend it. What I sti... Read Full Review

UFO blends RPG elements with a cracking turn based system to deliver a well paced and highly addictive game
UFO games in the past have usually been fun to play, but absolute murder to figure what is actually going on. Afterlight in this case is no different as there is a distinct lack of a tutorial to really give you any help ... Read Full Review

Not Impressed
After reading some of the player views of this game I sought after the Demo. That way I wouldnt have to shell out the bucks for this game. I have been and still remain an X-Com fanboy at the ripe old age of 61. Well I g... Read Full Review

A highly addictive game that is, in many ways, even better than the classic X-Com series. A pity it crashes sometimes.
Perhaps a comparison between UFO: Afterlight and X-Com is unfair because X-Com had some features Afterlight does not and vice versa. X-Com had multiple base building, a UFO shooting down minigame, and the squad-based ta... Read Full Review
