If you like strategy games or games with good progression systems this game is definitely for you. a great re-imagining
Great strategy some graphical touch ups needed here and there and a couple of bugs that need fixing. but besides that the game is relatively easy to learn if you have a head on your shoulders but will take a long while t... Read Full Review

As a true fan of the series & having lost months of my life back in the day playing through enemy unknown, terror from the deep & Apocalypse. I am one of those x-com fans that would have been really hard to please and ju... Read Full Review

Exactly what you were craving from a strategy game after playing the original XCom series.
XCOM: Enemy Unknown delivers on almost every area I was hoping for. If you played the originals (or even if you didn't), there is no turn-based strategy game that comes close to XCOM. In Enemy Unknown, all of that flavor... Read Full Review

Very hard to pick a conclusion. Certainly more story driven than original. Has some glitches.
The game seems fine. It was exactly what I expected. There are some glitches that lost the game 0.5 points, could of been an easy 9.0 Like I said it is more story driven then original, got a bit of clips on key events... Read Full Review

Yes a classic...again.
Story = predictable. Graphics = what you expect.... But the Gameplay = FANDABULOUS. Thats right the gameplay is just so addicting that you can't put it down. My only complaint is that the technology and items could be a... Read Full Review

Simplified version of an old classic, over 40 hours played and one thing I can say: I love the new XCOM!
OK this game is a simplified version of what the original XCOM was back in the 90's, but simplified or watered-down doesn't mean the game is bad; "Au contraire", the game is nearly a masterpiece with its challenging game... Read Full Review

A Great Re-imagining of a classic. Firaxis proves again that it is a master in its genre.
A Great Re-imagining of classic. Firaxis proves again that it is a master in its genre. Except for nitpicking on some controls at tiles and camera quirks, it is a solid performance from beginning to end. The "one more... Read Full Review
