Only one thing to say: UFO: Aftermath.

I rest my case.

Besides if it's 3D then you automatically lose the old game appeal since the view become a factor which alter tactics and strategies. I also beleive you can't stick to an old formula (i.e. a formula claimed to be a true classic years ago) and "keep it fresh" at the same time... Either do something like Xcom or just do another game is what I think.

3-D would be good if you kept it isometric, just with rotation so that you can actually see where your own grenades landed.

It would be nice if it had real sounds too.

Aftermath is in 3D but it still plays basically like the old 2D ones, and the geoscape in the first 2 rotated anyway in pseudo-3D. I like it.

This game wasn't even related to X-com, besides, because one game sucked doesn't mean another one will, the developers just did an atrocious job.

I found it horrible, but that's just my opinion.

I did not get that game, even I love all UFO related game. And I can't find it in local game sotres. So probably was so bad...

This looks interesting, as it will not hurt my eyes to get somethings better looking, but still playable as old game.

It was average, most said.

Gamespot gave it a 6.4

If you can find it cheap you should still buy it.

I would personally never rate UFO: Aftermath higher than 60%...
