UFO: Extraterrestrials

Best turn-based game since X-com

User Rating: 8.8 | UFO: Extraterrestrials PC

Not a fair review from Gamespot. If you played stategy games like Panzer General,Final Fantasy Tactics and Advance Wars you will love this game because its better than all of them. First the Good.
- Develop & customize your base, research tech and manufacture your tech.
- Budget monthly funds or go Bankrupt.
- Character gains experience through battle
- Replayable. Then the Bad
- Graphics and sound seem dated. Conclusion
If you want the best graphics or a die hard real-time stategy fan this game is probably not for you. But if like micromanagment / turn-based games this game is a true gem.

This game has kept me up long hours into the night, not many games have done that for me since the civ series.

  OK, first off, UFO:ET is not related in any way to the UFO:After... series. It's designers from what I understand had every intention of remaking the original X-COM game, just more updated and with a different storyline... Read Full Review
