Title: Ferret's Bar and Grill "Being an old X-Com freak...."
Post by: Ferretlxix_XC on September 06, 2006, 03:39:52 am

Aloha everyone!!  Since I have less than a months time here I have a question about a game series that Alien and seen at a national electronics chain store.  Being and old X-com freak I was wondering if this game is worth the $28 for the two.

Ufo: Aftermath (http://www.ufo-aftermath.com/pages/headquarters.html)

Ufo: Aftershock (http://www.ufo-aftershock.com/pages/hq.html)

Compared to my ol'beloved game, how does it compare and what improvments does the sequal have over the other?

I know this isn't out yet but....

I have the first one and it's very similar to the original X-com.  It's a tad more polished, and is danged hard in places (last mission is a bitch).. but it'll entertain you for hours, and you won't sit there hating it.

I think there are demos available.

I guess that's the case for the most of us.  Manuals suck up playing time. LIL!

I seen both the games for around $30 bundled so, I was considering it.  I just needed to know if it lives up to the X-Com genre.

Played some and it was tough on the first skirmish. Will need to investigate it more.
