i bought it on a whim from newegg, still hasnt gotten here, but now im having second thoughts, i didnt realize just how much they have changed from the original, (only 6 person squads???) but im still optimistic, i'll come back once i've spent a little time with it

Reading about allot of disc problems and bugs...will wait till cost goes way down.

i've been playing this off and on since yesterday and even tho im still in the early game, i have to say, this is already going down as one of my favorite games of this generation



firaxis really went above and beyond on this one, its basically a whole new game but has enough of the original feel of the old xcom to satiate veterans, the class based system for soldiers opens up an entire spectrum of new strategy you can add to the game, i still kinda think charging 60 was a little high, but i cant pretend like im not getting 60 dollars worth of fun out of this so i got no real complaints


if you're a fan of turn based strategy games or just good games period, you should definitly pick this up

Come back here when you beat the game as I read people were a little disappointed in how long the game was [ about 15 hrs ] One guy said he was happy with the game but it was way to short for this type of game. So, will probably wait till it's 30.00 as did with... I just got Birds of steel for 20.00 ship and Warriors Orochi 3 for 30.00 ship new.Sometime its pays to wait.

from reviews, i've read its closer to 30 hours but i kind of think its 30 if you yourself make it 30, like i purposefully avoid the goals needed to advance story so i can hang back and build up my squad, but missions are much smaller and more focused than the original xcom missions, i remember some missions taking me close to an hour and a half on the original xcom, i've been on missions where i spent barely above 5 minutes before it was over


but thats because the pace is quicker, everything is more streamlined, even if the game is 15 hours long i guarentee you'll jump back and restart the game to do things different, you can start on a different continent which gives you different bonuses, and unlike the first game, when you get multiple ufo attacks and landings (which happens all of the time) you cant go after all of them one by one, you're usually given a choice out of 3 and if you choose to save one country you're pretty much screwing over the other 2 and the mission you get is a completely different one, so theres that for replayablity, this is a great game i stand by that, but i do feel like 60 is still a little too much, 40 dollars is perfect i think

I'm on PC, so I'm no use, here.

Yea, good reason to let price go down then and wait for patches.
