Ok so far. A lesser xcom. Needs better character customization for sure. Been playing xcom since... 92 I think and the best part of the game is getting attached to the team. Of course we are all acclimated to today's graphic capabilities so we need more than just adding a name to each character to get us invested. Pimp that out and you'll be heading in the right direction. That being said, if on sale this will scratch the xcom itch till 3 comes out.
