Suskie's X-COM: Enforcer review

You knew this was coming, right?

Enforcer kinda sucks, but, really, are you sure you want to damn the first games based on so little play and a clear misunderstanding of how to play the stratigic titles XCom was based on?

I suppose I want everyone to like XCom, such is my fanboyish love affair with it. Even my hated nemesis!

I certainly hope you're secure enough in your love for your favorite game that someone else disliking it doesn't diminish your ability to enjoy it. (I forget exactly how you phrased it by now but you get the point.)

You're getting preditable, man.

But I agree; Enforcer was okay, just drab and plodding. I liked that you could pick up bits of alien tech in a shallow attempt to keep the earlier game's reliance on stealing alien weapons and adapting the hell out of them, but that's about it. It's nice to hear the game now comes pre patched enough to not be the buggy mess it was back when I gave it a decent spin, though.

I'm surprised to learn that Vista runs UFO Defense fine and has trouble with Terror from the Deep, which as far as I can tell is precisely the same game with a few names and graphics altered, and a difficulty bug from the original game fixed by just making it three hundred and forty times harder.
