Fun Shooter/RPG with xcom story (Not a strategy game)

i hear people say this is a bad mass effect rip off. That got me excited so i bought it. I figured a bad mass effect was mass effect 3 (graphics aside). It's only been associated with mass effect because that's the only rpg the reviewers have ever played. It has a dialogue option wheel. that's it. that's why the people freaked out and called it mass effect.
Anyway....it is strange to play a different style xcom game. So many times, when i played my first xcom game, i wished i could take the shot. So it's interesting that they made a game that's fps.
It's cool to get more back story on xcom. It's cool to see the same characters in different ways. It's cool to have some strategy and telling men where to go and see that old shield pop up to show if the guy's spot will be in cover or not.
There are some flaws in gameplay....trying to mix the strategy part with the fps....barely works in some situations. This isn't a brilliant game.
In conclusion.....It's a good game. As people like me hang around in the greatest generation of gaming consoles that was and ever will be....we play through the hundreds of titles made during the boom. Not all of them were block busters or critically acclaimed. Certainly, there were some tanks. But there's still so many good games out there to play. Games that allot of talented people spent time on just for one play through. Most games are worth the play through and even have some charm of their own and moments of excellence.
I play a bit of a game every morning before i start work. it makes this shitty world a bit easier to swallow. I love to get into a game and within a few days, i'll be waking up and be excited to get my coffee and go be immersed in that world for a bit of time. This game does that for me.

GREAT GAME!

Great game! If you like shooting aliens you will like this. It's set in the 1960s which makes it fun too. You are the main character "Carter", an agent of the Bureau who travels from one location to another trying to stop the alien invasion. The weapons evolve as you progress and you have two agents who fight alongside of you, they acquire more skills as they progress and you can change agents back and forth from a squad to keep a well round force. Bottom line I found it to be a blast and I would recommend it.

P.S. There is also a sequel, "The Bureau XCOM The enemy with in. Not as good more like a chess game. You move and shoot, then they move and shoot, then you move and shoot, then they move shoot, not as good as live action format.Read full review...

Cool game, recommended for purchase!

Old and origin X-com Enemy Unknown game was one of my first games when i was a child.

Excellent graphics and gameplay!
New economic model, much easier then in original game - may be it's a little minus, but you can focus on other game features.
Less alien technologies than in old game.Read full review...

Amazing!

I buy it because I used to play UFO (XCOM).
A very good remake for PS3, battles by turns in 3D.
If you played XCOM games before, you need to buy this game.
You need to create your base, investigate, build your weapons, upgrade it, arming your soldiers, etc.Read full review...
