"Turns very good into great"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

I purchased Enemy Unknown when it first came out and really enjoyed it – it had a couple of really nasty bugs in it where enemies would suddenly spawn on you en masse making the ironman challenges pretty impossible for some missions. However despite the issues it was a very good good game.

So when enemy within came out I was pretty skeptical of what looked like a big DLC that for the 360 you have to buy as a disc instead of download. The story goes that it was too big for Microsoft to allow as a download though I think the size is similar to the huge extra info ending Bioware gave to Mass Effect 3.

Anyway fast forward to Xmas sales and I decide to give this a go.

This is the part where I now go… Wow. The developers didn't do DLC for this game they took and polished it and really turned it into the game into something great.

Maps are redesigned and there is less deja vu when doing extractions, research and engineering are expanded, the new missions are a lot of fun and the new enemies require new tactics to overcome. I sense they tied a little more in with Xcom the bureau as well, which is nice for fans of that game.

I haven't experienced any game bugs apart from the usual Unreal Engine slow texture load times – which is not an issue of the game but of Unreal.

Overall I'm very impressed with the extra polish that has been put into the game and recommend this to anyone who has the original Enemy Unknown – if you don't have the original get this version first.

For anyone who hasn't played this game and is interested in the play style it is a turn based strategy game. You need to investigate alien landings and rescue civilians from being abducted while trying to figure out why Earth is being invaded and how to stop that. You have a team of 4–6 soldiers who each get to either move go on guard or take a shot per turn and then it is the aliens turn – sort of like chess or a board game. You need to use your ground to your advantage finding high ground and taking cover, and if you loss a soldier they are gone for good which is quite tough if you have leveled them up and gotten attached to them.

There are plenty of hard choices to make in this game and you get spanked by your allies if you don't help them.

10 out of 10 – good job Firaxis!
