As a massive fan of the original, I was extremely sceptical about this revamp being released. Thankfully I didnt have to worry at all as the finished result is fantastic. Firaxis have reworked it in key areas to make the game a far less complicated yet more involving game in which you actually care about your soldiers. Games such as 'Brothers in Arms' should take note. Very few bad things to say about it except for a few frame rate issues and the customisation could have been a bit more in depth.
Like the original then you will love this would of have given 5* but for the fact that in later missions the game has a tendency to freeze up and needs to be rebooted hence the save often.
Major patch needed for the freeze outs as in begining of game you can play for hours before it crashes the more you research and the more fancy guns the more chance of freeze.
Save often!!!!
Do not be fooled by other 5 star comments about this game, if this game was reduced to a Pound i wouldn't buy it, luckily i purchased my copy from somewhere else that had it on offer, i probably played this game for about 15 mins before i'd had enough then took it to a well known trade in shop who gave me 3 Pound more than i paid for it, this game really is pants you have been warned.
I have been debating about this game for some time and with the reduction in price decided to take the plunge.
For those wanting flat out action I would avoid but those wanting a bit of turn based strategy, its is great.
Graphics not the best but game play for me is fantastic.
One word of warning, as soon as you personalise your units and name them you all of a sudden become more attached and battles become that much more complex as you try to save your leveled up units.
If you are still debating, don't, buy it.
I'm old enough to have played the original, but I don't think I did. However, so glad I picked this up as it is quality. Really involving, rewarding and challenging. If you are looking for an alternative to the FIFA and COD type games (which I also love) then this is the change of pace you might just be looking for.
