X-Com: Enforcer

I give this 4 stars because this is a very simplistic, no frills game that still manages to be fun. Yes, it's OLD SCHOOL, as in the original Unreal Tournament engine OLD. Runs just fine on my 2021 machine---Win10, i5, 16gb ram, 3060ti. The only real complaints I have is the cheesy voice acting of the "professor" and the bad mouse aiming. You move the target reticle around the screen, but the up and down is HORRID! The reticle will go to the sky, off your screen, and you cant see it because your field of view is locked on your character. It's like your looking at the ground 30ft in front of you. You cant see the map very well. Still serviceable and playable, but it was though the Devs were trying something "new" back in the day and should have just kept to what they knew. Still a fun game, worth the money when on sale, mindlessly blasting aliens never gets old. I never played an X Com game so I cant speak on this being in the established X Com "universe".

I have this game, but it's absolutely horrible. However, I knew one of the developers who worked on this game, and a picture of me is imbedded into the game wearing a 1970s "Sears Leathershop" leisure-suit jacket while standing next to David Hasselhoff (separate pictures photoshopped together). There's also an Easter-egg of a blue Dodge Neon in here (not mine). But still... not a fan of the game, but I have to give it 5 stars cause I'm in here... somewhere.

Not much else to add. Even if we strip this of it's X-com name, it's still a bottom of the barrel third person action game. I give 3/5 because it's not offensively bad or anything and it does have some personality. It's also seems to work on my computer. Reality is it's a 2.5 star game at best. Couldn't play more than a few minutes of it and I won't be returning anytime soon. I do think this could have worked but it has fully abandoned any notion of simulation and is a full on forgettable arcade game from the 90s.

This game features forced mouse acceleration.

Imagine making a city building game and call it FIFA.
