What Gamespot Users have to say about UFO: Aftershock
- Rating:8
Good game but resource management lets it down. Not quite the X-Com update I wanted, but hopefullt tyhe sequel will be.
Fair graphics for a strategy game, with good game play but sadly not really enough. I think anyone who bought this game REALLY wanted it to be the "next" X-Com. Close, but some things just don't make the cut. The tactica... Read Full Review

Not a bad game but suffers from many technical glitches. Patch 1.2 is a must, and the community mod is recommended
To begin with, I have been a fan of the X-COM games since the original UFO - Unknown game was released years ago, but must point out that although UFO - AS does have many references to the X-COM series it is not an X-COM... Read Full Review

"Rush to Gold..."
I been playing all XCOM, UFOS, besides aftermath. My favorite is XCOM- Apocalypse. I played UFO:AS for 4 days, got to the wargot ship, did some missions there, played on veteran, and had 12 soldiers, lvl 15-18, and then ... Read Full Review

Semi-real-time-strategy at it's almost-best.
First of all I'd like to say, that while neither UFO Aftershock nor Hammer & Sickle aren't the Game of the Year -material, I'd advise GameSpot reviewer, Brett Todd, to think about reviewing some other games, as he simply... Read Full Review

An excellent squad-based Alien/Human shooter, very similar to Silent Storm ...
When i first got this game I was expecting something not too good after Aftermath, but i was in for a surprise... Let`s get one thing straight.. IT`s NOT X-COM. It`s a nod to the X-com guys with many X-comish featur... Read Full Review

Great battles and tons of planning, the physics, line of sight calculations & multiple storeys make this a great game.
The good: It's amazing how wrong the gamespot reviewer is. The fact is that this is a really-really fun game, with excellent graphics in the missions (turn up the res, detail and antialias Todd...), great music one of wh... Read Full Review

This game is what any UFO X-Com : Enemy Unknown was wishing for. Don't listen to what Bret from Gamespot wrote!
I am currently playing this game and it is amazing. The author of gamespot is CLEARLY clueless about this game. A quick look at the screen shot and any experimented player will see the flaws in it. Gamespot compare t... Read Full Review

If you have the time to spend making sure you don't fail at life
Aftershock is a step up from Aftermath in the base management department, but the actual tactical gameplay is more or less the same. Where Aftermath was the next step in X-COM style tactical gameplay, Aftershock is the n... Read Full Review

The 1st "true" successor to the X-COM series
Let me preface by saying that I first played X-COM back in 1993 when it came out and have been an X-COM fanatic ever since, I am huge fan of turn based strategy/ Tac Sims and have played them all. From the JA series t... Read Full Review

A pure insult to fans of the X-com series & sci fi genre. A sad attempt that can not be taken seriously.
The Story: The story is told through long boring monotonous dialogs with dry acting. Imagine listening to Dr. Laura describing aliens. The story is choppy, in- consistant and the characters are cornier then the scripts... Read Full Review
