Product Description

Product Description

XCOM: Enemy Unknown will place you in control of a secret paramilitary organisation called XCOM. As the XCOM commander, you will defend against a terrifying global alien invasion by managing resources, advancing technologies, and overseeing combat strategies and individual unit tactics. The original X-COM is widely regarded as one of the best games ever made and has now been re-imagined by the strategy experts at Firaxis Games. XCOM: Enemy Unknown will expand on that legacy with an entirely new invasion story, enemies and technologies to fight aliens and defend Earth. You will control the fate of the human race through researching alien technologies, creating and managing a fully operational base, planning combat missions and controlling soldier movement in battle.

Key Features

  • Strategy Evolved: XCOM: Enemy Unknown couples tactical turn-based gameplay with incredible action sequences and on-the-ground combat.
  • Strategic Base: Recruit, customise and grow unique soldiers and manage your personnel. Detect and intercept the alien threat as you build and expand your XCOM headquarters.
  • Tactical Combat: Direct soldier squads in turn-based ground battles and deploy air units such as the Interceptor and Skyranger.
  • Worldwide Threat: Combat spans the globe as the XCOM team engages in over 70 unique missions, interacting and negotiating with governments around the world.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Strategy Game on the Xbox 12 Oct 2012
By Runeweaver VINE™ VOICE

Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
The Xbox has had a few Strategy games on it and most havent been very good,the main problem is the controller.
Most Strategy games are ported from the pc and are designed around a mouse and keyboard control scheme,and most fail when changed to console due to the restrictions in the amount of buttons.
But X-Com has always been a well designed Strategy game needing only a few controls and is also very easy to learn, the Xbox controller works very well on this updated version of the game and the tutorial for X-Com is in the form of a story which teaches you all you need to know,the learning curve for the game is near perfect,giving you time to get the hang of things,but keeping up the pressure so you dont get bored or get over confident.
The graphics are pretty good for this style of game,the game isnt going to win any awards for them but they are clear and well designed.
As for sound its all well done,from the voice acting to combat,it fits the game style and X-Com.

If your an old fan of the series then buy it right now its been brought up to date and is near perfect as you can get, If you like strategy games or want to try one then buy it as you wont find anything near as good on the XBox.

Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
First of all let me just say - This game is amazing!!! 2K (Edit: Sorry, apparently I should have said Fireaxis, becuase apprently 2K only published the game, and that really matters to a few people out there) have taken aspects of the original X-Com (an absolute classic in its own right) and introduced a more modern feel to it, producing one of the best strategy/action games I've played in years. I'm a massive fan of Turn Based Strategy games, and whilst they aren't everyone's cup of tea, the way this game has been put together you'd be hard pressed not to have a good time playing it.

The difficulty settings in this game are spot on, and hark back to the days when Hard actually meant Hard and you weren't spoon fed a game from start to finish. Be warned, Normal difficulty will really challenge you, and expect to get absolutely trounced if you leap into Hard or above right from the start.

The graphics are good, and the artistic style of the game really suits the conflict stricken world you find yourself in, where mankind is desperately clinging on for survival against a far superior force. Night time missions are suitably shadowy and sinister, whilst daytime missions show off the detail the developers have gone to creating each specific type of terrain. And the main HQ is represented in fantastic detail too, making you really feel like you have an elite force at your fingertips.

The game pad controls take a little getting used to, but once mastered makes the game a very immersive experience.

All in all I would highly recommend this to anyone who likes their games to contain a bit of of shooting/blowing up aliens whilst also requiring some pretty deep strategising. A LOT of fun.

5.0 out of 5 stars Expectations met and exceeded! 16 Oct 2012
By Crucial
Fun: 5.0 out of 5 stars   
I used to play this game on the PC 15 years ago and while i wouldn't say i played it as much as XCOM addicts i certainly spent many an hour on it.
I only noticed a month before release this game was on the cards, and after checking out a few videos on the net i was instantly impressed with the direction they were taking this reboot in.

My experience with the game to date has been nothing short of refreshing, it's been the first time in a long time that i'm thinking about a game while being at work, and when i have my free-time after my duties as a Dad are over for the evening, i'm on this game for the rest of the night until i have to tear myself off to sleep for work the next day.

The strength of the game for me comes in the fact that it is constantly keeping me on my toes, keeping the base operational and effective as the alien threat escalates, developing the soldiers over time to be efficent combat vets in their specialised areas and trying to keep them alive while on mission. It's throughly engrossing and most importantly i have a lot of fun while playing any aspect of the game!

Congratulations Firaxis for making such a fun game and a breath of fresh air in the FPS oversaturated market which is console gaming.
