    Enemy Unknown Plus feels like a game behind schedule, rushed to the finish line after the success of the sequel to take and garner the positivity coming from it. It is a poor excuse for an XCOM game, pulling down the pedigree while hiding its best features.

This is my first time playing xcom, i slept on this game for a long time, but better late than never. Its definitely worth the $20 bucks, after playing this i would pay $40 for this game its that good. Its a little laggy and buggy here and there but doesn't spoil the game play. The cut scenes look really good, and im not to far in the game but its challenging so far. The graphics don't look bad at all, not ps3 looking but still look good to me. I've never been a graphics guy anyway. But if you're a xcom fan don't hesitate to buy this one. Full Review »

I never tried Enemy Within so I was pretty excited when I heard it might come to the vita. So as soon as it got out, I bought it and it is not disappointing. I am addicted to that game and I try to play as soon as I have a bit of free time.
    Pros:
    - Enemy Unknown and Enemy within for one price and on the go
    - depth of the gameplay
    - One of the best tactical game of all time
    - Excellent replay value
    - great soundtrack
    Cons:
    - the graphics have been downgraded, but that was to be expected
    - the sound is struggling to keep up with the game
    - long loading time
