It's really not disappointing, I am enjoying it (and the massively difficult Classic+Iron Man combo).
It's just there are many design decisions which I don't like, things which distance it from the original game.
Xenonauts will be a more faithful "spiritual successor", but XCOM still has a lot going for it. I must have played it for several hours now, over the past day or so.
XCOM has been made with a modern, partially console, audience in mind. It was never going to be exactly the game I wanted, but no doubt it will satisfy many younger gamers who never played the original.
