As far as X-Com titles go this certaintly isnt the best, but that doesnt mean rule it out. It has all the trademarks of the x-com series that has made the series do popular, it has an indepth alien research section, a great resource managment system and perhaps most importantly an action section.
The base managment is spot on, with the ability to control all of your base maintence and personnel managment with relative ease, this part of the game is up to the standard of the other x-coms. Only the research lets down the strategy part of the game down, it isnt as involving as it could have been, it just doesnt grip you the way x-com Apocalypse's system did.
My only other gripe is the action element of the game, altought it is great fun to play, it soon gets tedious with the same missions repeating over and other again. An example of this is the intercepting of alien squadrons, this happens frequently and is simply blowing up alien sqaudrons over and over again.
However dont let this put you off what truely is an involving game that fans of the X-com series shouldn't overlook, people who are new to X-com though may want to try X-com Apocalypse first.

This game is one of the best in the x-com seris because it consists of multiple game play scenarios.These include dog fighting in a spacecraft with multiple weapons,expanding your territory by building new bases to create and dispatch units from to destroy the evil alien empire.
Also you have missions such as destroy the alien outpost or destroy all enemy spacecraft.Overall this game will keep you adicted for hours so my suggestion is buy it now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
