Take 2 - Now I now what the heck is going on. I enjoy it but I find one drawback. Sometimes to progress the story missions, you need to research; to research you may need specific items; items may be across the world; to secure them you need to expand territory - ergo, some levels seem to repeat themselves.”

“Aftermath is a game that suffers greatly for its developer-intended similarity to X-Com. On its own, it's a good game, maybe even a great game, that simply fails to live up to the nostalgia-infused expectations of the X-Com fans. Of course ... without X-Com, this game wouldn't have sold even the copies it did.

All told: fun game, with flaws and foibles numerically similar to, but thematically different from, X-Com's. Worth the cost if you can find it cheap - the UFO: A* trilogy can be found on Direct2Drive I think for about $25.”
