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)

It's just a bad version of Unreal, under the Xcom title.

Hey -
Yeah, I just read the review.

Sounds aweful, I'm sorry you had to experience that!

EDIT: Their webpage is pretty good though! I think I probably enjoyed the page, more than I would the game...

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...

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...

they did, but never finished it. It was Xcom Alliance.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).

Now it's Xcom Alliance R.I.P.

Was enforcer even made by the original developors of X-COm? Gallop bros. I think. I hope not, coz if they put their name on that piece of **** then their reputations would ave taken 1 big battering.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.

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...

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.

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

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.

Granted, enforcer was pretty bad, but it was not as positivly sucky as its made out to be. Yes, the publishers are always dicks.

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.

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 onTheir fault why TFTD (for me
)and Apoc (could be tons better) sucked.

All that means you've been affected by the X-COM Syndrome.
