Just amazing. I was so worried when I saw the other xcom being developed by 2K, changing a turn based strategy franchise (which admittedly became a air combat and then terrible 3rd person before it died) into a FPS set in a totally different time period.
The guys here did it right and I know purists are going to argue about squad size and blah blah, but to be honest, the old game get VERY boring when you were moving 14 people around the screen and your soldiers not having peripheral vision would make me rage-quit the old game. It's not like if you're in a combat situation you are just going to be staring forward into a blank wall.
That said, this game has a lot to offer and how the aliens change tactics and behave intelligently (depending on difficult) makes it for a fun replayable game, not to mention pitting yourself against friends or random players to see if you win the combat or not. The team have worked very hard and have DLC lined up for the future.
