UFO: Aftermath - PC

Did not like the graphics! There seemed to be a lot of playing options but the graphics were so poor I did not play the game!

If you like Xcom, you will definitely want to pick up this title. I have the complete series, and I haven't been disappointed yet!

I was very excited at the prospect of playing a game similar to the original X-COM games. The X-COM series has forever been my favorite strategy game. So, when I heard about this game, I had to order, even though I saw many negative reviews on it.I must tell you, that I have had this game for over a week and I still have yet to play it. I installed it straight out of the box and it instantly crashed. I was prepared for this, as I had already read the reviews. I then downloaded all the patches, bringing my game version up to 1.3. Guess what? It still crashes and my computer greatly exceeds all the recommended system specifications.A LITTLE RANTING: I have never played a game by Cenega before and I probably will think twice before buying another. This game certainly doesn't speak well for them. If I went to a car dealership and bought a NEW car, I would expect the engine to be in it and be able to drive the car off the lot. Cenega should ensure its games are complete and playable before they release them to the market! Even if it means pushing the release date back.BOTTOM LINE: I can't recommend this game, I haven't even played it! You buy a game for enjoyment and trying to fuss with multiple patches and still not have the game work is NOT enjoyment.

A lot of controls to remember if you are just starting out like me. with time it is ok,I love anything U.F.O. I will get the rest of these. Download is fast,working just great! THANKS!

This is, in my opinion, the best game in the UFO series. Aftershock doesn't feature the bases, and Afterlight doesn't have the, well... Earth stuff. For me, the actual weapons are a must. That's part of the enjoyment, like playing the Fallout games - real stuff in a surreal environment.The Gameplay is good, especially if you like to move the men tactically, out of real-time. Having the option to go to real-time in a way that actually works is nice (i.e. in Fallout Tactics, most of the time the rt combat will get you killed.)The graphics are what they are. The sound is never something I can really comment on, since I turn it off and listen to music. It gets a bit buggy if you have other stuff running in the background, so keep it to music, or find another game to play when your torrents are active.I give it a 9 out of 10.

Don't buy this game if you are looking for the old UFO Defence/Enemy Unknown magic... because it just isn't there. If you didn't know the old UFO games. Well try and buy this one and have a flat experience of a game that could be much more layered.I'm sorry, I know the guys who made this game made a valiant effort for it, but it just doesn't work.Very important! DOWNLOAD the demo first and see what you make of it.My patience with this game was killed after 5 hours of gameplay, and here's why:1st crash: in the bloody configuration right after installation!(the 1.2 patch fixed that though so not so bad)2nd crash: when I use ALT+TAB to check something out or talk with someone on msn while playing (it can have many funny effects) and i'm not talking about a game crash, I'm talking about a full blown Windows 95/98 like crash in my XP that just locked the computer(which millenium are we in again?)Glitchy graphics: suddenly the Geosphere was covered with the game's logo(!!?) and the soldiers faces looked like they had a bad rash from spores.Dumb opponents: they might as well apply for a job in a slapstick comedy game instead.These things along with LOOOOONG load times and terrible interfaces completely killed the enthusiam for this game.This game seems completely rushed and unfinished and i'm very surprised something like this is even allowed to be released to the public. The soul this game could have had is lost in the flat gameplay, plot, and interfaces...But the guys who did this will get two stars for trying as well as they could I'm sure and for the brave dream of reviving something dear to a lot of people. But who knows maybe they can make a 750 MB patch that fixes everything... I would hope so.
