Really, I just couldn't drag myself off it until I've finished the whole campaign... And then some. It's not perfect, and could use a little more lovin' but... The soundtrack is absolutely superb, and it adds to the overall climate of the game (actually it's the first time that I've actually left the original soundtrack, and not muting it and playing my own selection in the background, so it's a huge plus. One minus is that you're restrained to having only a single ship (though you can pick from, like... 21 different vessels) Buying a new one automatically sells the old. It would be better to be able to have few of them, lets say... One for combat, one for mining and so on. And add a ship-capture feature... The victor's spoils... Anyways, that game just dethroned the "X" series in my ranking. Definately worth buying.
First thing I've noticed is that the game is unnervingly buggy. I got so many crash-ups with "program not responding" messages, that I allmost broke my screen. It resembles a browser-based flash game, and still hammerging resources like a goddamn Vista. The research is a mess; researched projects are popping up at random it seems. One time I'm researching Laser weaponry, and then suddenly, out of nowhere Alien Biology pops up... and after the project finishes, I still have Alien biology on the list. Even though I already have results of that research. And the simplicity... On one hand I receive freebies like aircraft/vechicle armanent, and on the other I have to manufacture soldier weapons and armor... Still it's a X-com clone, and those are so few and far in between, so I'm giving it +1. I can't believe I'm saying it, but UFO: Extraterrestrials is better...,
