Two things to note about it though that detract from the 5 stars: It is good but considering how cheap XCOM EU or EW are, its not as good a deal vs the game at full release price. Second, and more noteworthy, is Elite Soldier pack DLC and Slingshot DLC are both included with XCOM:Enemy Within (Expansion Pack), so buying it negates the majority of the value unless returning to Enemy Unknown.
So fun, but if you plan to buy EW, skip since its included. If not, and you don't mind the price, its a fun addition to XCOM Enemy Unknown.
In terms of content: Better than expected! I'd already finished the game twice when I bought this, so I was very ready for something new. The new missions are cool, especially the new maps. The new achievements don't hurt either. This is a good buy for people who've already played through Xcom several times or completionists who need to play everything.
My issue is the game crashes / locks up on me all the time since this purchase.
3 times now have lead/forced to a reboot. What happens is - nothing works in terms of actions. However, I can move the screen around as normal. Just can't pick solider or action.
(CTRL ALT DEL - Task Manager - Just pops right back to game. - so you have to select reboot to end the problem)
- One of the original problems I had was the save gave feature - you don't realize you are not saving the game anymore (choosing default save)
and it carries over to this as well. You have to be really careful to make sure you are saving when you are saving.
- I had accidentally deleted my games when I finished the original - so I have NO idea if you can go into slingshot with a well armed team (as my guys started out from the beginning)
And back to the locking up and crashing. Just very frustrating to get a mission almost 90% done and have to reboot the PC.
UPDATE about 3 days of playing game: This time I am taking my time and not researching the PRIORITY items as soon as they show up (I think this acts as a trigger to move to the next level)
So I have been getting everything I can get done before moving on to the priority items. What I have noticed is I am playing A LOT of the original game. Very little is different at this point. I had a couple of slightshot missions early on - like 2 and now 10+ missions have been the regular stuff I already beat. Perhaps after those key PRIORITY trigger points more will appear and HOPEFULLY the ending is different but for right now, I am just playing the game I bought before - NOT the DLC.
