It is unforgiving, relentless and constantly ready to crush your hopes and dreams in a single, fell swoop. A poor tactical choice will take that battle-hardened veteran soldier and introduce him to the business end of an alien rifle, squandering hours of gameplay with a single button press.

XCOM: Enemy Unknown is a remake of a classic strategy game that is variably titled X-Com: UFO Defense and UFO: Enemy Unknown.

Challenging; addicting; well designed overall

Room for improvement in troop customization

Love this game. I play it every couple of months and always have fun going through the campaign every time. Challenging but rewarding when you successfully complete a mission.

ignore the MW3 newbs and no lifes, Xcom Enemy unknown is one of the most terrifying experience`s of 2012. Firaxis has resurected one of the defining strategy games. it was the game that made RTS games.

I think its a great game, fun single player with high replay value, you can customize your units which makes them sentimental and makes you get attached to them. You get mad and frustrated when they die but its great that you get that feeling that they are your units.

I'm usually one who tires quickly of games, but I find myself restarting the game after having completed it. Controls are easy to use and the AI is very good.

This is one of the best games i have ever played and i play a lot of games. If you like to think about what your doing while playing your games instead of just shooting your way through then this is the game for you.

X-com done right. The team at firaxis really out did themselves this go around. All the game elements are well thought out

XCOM is a great series with a lot of cool titles. I've been following it for a while and this Enemy Unknown is an excellent game.. the best Xcom ever if you ask me. It is based on strategy/tactical gameplay and this is NOT FPS ACTION.

Give this game time, Ive only played it a couple of days and seem to be getting roped in further and further, highly recomended
