Andy Posted July 22, 2003 Report Share Posted July 22, 2003 Just finished the game after buying it a few days ago. Pros:- quick, easy to learn- maps are detailed Cons:- mediocre storyline- too easy- no 'ufopedia'- missions/maps are required to complete to progress onto the next 'stage' (you can't skip missions) 6/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy Posted July 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2003 (edited) It's just a bad version of Unreal, under the Xcom title. [edit]Enforcer website Edited July 22, 2003 by Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreatGold Posted July 22, 2003 Report Share Posted July 22, 2003 (edited) Hey - Yeah, I just read the review.http://www.game-revolution.com/games/pc/ac...om_enforcer.htm Sounds aweful, I'm sorry you had to experience that!Gold EDIT: Their webpage is pretty good though! I think I probably enjoyed the page, more than I would the game... Edited July 22, 2003 by GreatGold Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Posted July 22, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2003 being a diehard xcom fan, I wanted to try it out. Going to try multiplayer to see if it's any more fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miceless Posted July 22, 2003 Report Share Posted July 22, 2003 Shame, im not a great fan of FPS. They have to be good to be good. () Ill check out the website though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundman Posted July 29, 2003 Report Share Posted July 29, 2003 I think they should damn well make a FPS, they could do a good job if they took the time, it would sort of be like XCI, but with dudes who you can boss around (or maybe having one guy), and sending out guys to intercept terror mishes or something (ala Halo2 or Half-life 2, in cities). Seeing alien guts splatter real-time would be most amusing, (it would need a good physics engine of course), you could pick up alien weapons after they have been researched to use as well. They probably won't make another soon though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jim69 Posted July 29, 2003 Report Share Posted July 29, 2003 I seriously doubt if there will ever be anothe X-Com, it's been all downhill since Apoc ( which IMO wasn't the greatest in the series, seemed 2 lose a lot of the strategy altho it has it's fans ).

soundman Posted July 30, 2003 Report Share Posted July 30, 2003 Yeah, I actually quite liked Apoc, but it definitely had its flaws. I guess after a diaster like enforcer developers are reluctant to risk making another. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aosar Posted August 8, 2003 Report Share Posted August 8, 2003 It makes me sick to think that Enforcer is the sixth X-Com game published. While Genesis should have been sixth... Makes me feel all... Angsty... :crying: Those smilies give a good idea how I feel... 'Nuff said... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope not, coz if they put their name on that piece of **** then their reputations would ave taken 1 big battering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually Gallops didn't have anything to do with X-Com after Apoc IIRC, and they definedly woudn't have condoned a disaster like Enforcer. Atleast that is the version I am willing to accept...

Guest Jim69 Posted August 26, 2003 Report Share Posted August 26, 2003 That's what I thought, tho I had heard somewhere ( prehaps here ) that the Gallop Bros. were not the main creative influences in the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl. Facehugger Posted September 7, 2003 Report Share Posted September 7, 2003 If you think enforcer is too easy, you are playing it the wrong way! You should try not only to kill all the aliens in a given mission, but you should do it without getting hit at all, never, nada, not once should you get hit. If you play it like that, you will have much more fun, I guarentee it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jim69 Posted September 7, 2003 Report Share Posted September 7, 2003 From what I have heard it is a watered down Unreal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cpl. Facehugger Posted September 12, 2003 Report Share Posted September 12, 2003 That is true, but, it has this thing that rewards you when you don't get hit. You should endevor to have that up to the max at all times. It is much more fun that way, trust me . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupSuper Posted September 19, 2003 Report Share Posted September 19, 2003 i may be a fan of FPS, but Enforcer simply ruins the whole X-Com idea. Alliance had a better idea of a FPS-type battle and still had the X-Com spirit. but enforcer is simply... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jim69 Posted September 19, 2003 Report Share Posted September 19, 2003 Someone who wored in the same design company that made Enforcer ( but wasn't there when it was made ) talked to some of the guys who made it, they really wanted to do a good job but the Publisher's told them to get this game out in 6 months or else...So blame the publishers not the designers, I'd bet that this isn't the first game rushed out in 6 months because their publishers told them to.

Cpl. Facehugger Posted September 20, 2003 Report Share Posted September 20, 2003 Granted, enforcer was pretty bad, but it was not as positivly sucky as its made out to be. Yes, the publishers are always dicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Extralucas Posted September 20, 2003 Report Share Posted September 20, 2003 Their fault why TFTD (for me )and Apoc (could be tons better) sucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest larc Posted September 29, 2003 Report Share Posted September 29, 2003 What happened was Microprose was working big on Alliance when Hasbro bought them. Hasbro just wanted another video game out asap, and if you'll notice, there's no more stuff by microprose, or in the microprose style. Sid Meyer's stuff is now infrogames, and x-com died. Enforcer was a salvage-piece; Hasbro didn't mean for it to be a great game, and the programmers didn't mean for it to be a final piece. That's just the way the cookie crumbles.

Guest Jim69 Posted September 29, 2003 Report Share Posted September 29, 2003 Their fault why TFTD (for me )and Apoc (could be tons better) sucked.Well, every X-Com game has seemed rushed to me, become almost a sad trademark. X-Com 1 was the one rushed the least I think because all that was wrong with it was technical bugs whereas the rest just weren't thought through enough IMO. And it only got worse as the series went on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Azrael Posted July 31, 2004 Report Share Posted July 31, 2004 Enforcer!!?? EEeeeeeeekkkkk!!! *runs out of the room, slamming the door*That's definitively not a X-Com game, no matter what the title says! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest moomin Posted June 4, 2005 Report Share Posted June 4, 2005 I actually enjoyed the game, it was very fast paced and for a 6 month piece of work it was very good. Nothing to do with Xcom, just a quick paced blast'em up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
