GamerBlipsWe feel dirty. Dirty because what enjoyment we've taken from UFO: Extraterrestrials isn't of its own making. It's all very well treating it as its own entity, but when something is so knowingly a carbon copy of X-COM, the past can't be ignored. This is a straight copy, not the experimentation of the rival UFO: After series, though equally unpolished. Only the move to a butt-ugly 3D engine, a wonky interface and the same plot but in a different light mark significant change.
That it sucked us in at all is testament to the potency of the original X-COM brew of turn-based squad battles, base-building and the gently engrossing role-play of soldier and item tweaking.
