So should a new version of an absolutely ingenious prototype look!

Who would have thought it, after several, more or less good, new editions of the grandiose UFO Enemy Unknown's is now a new edition, the modeled more than worthy. As UFO fan of the first hour, I waited a long time and quite frankly, can no longer believe in it. And yet I could over the weekend, even on my PS3, experience this little wonder :-)

Because the content is already quite a lot of known and were told very briefly. After 12h Time.

1) Story / presentation
The story could catch me again from the beginning. The introduction (Tutorial) is very well done. It's still just as exciting as it used to when you do little by little new insights and waits for the completion of the research. Especially the small always resist interspersed dialogues, videos, which show the progress in the story / research. Overall, it seems, however, very close to the real aircraft. What I am the way, very grateful!

2) Basic Management
In my opinion, well thought out. Single small micro-management components have ceased to exist, but did not miss. Gradually a whole the options open without useless frills.

3) Tactical battles
The battles are done in my opinion, very exciting and full of action. In the beginning I had abdominal pain, because my beloved time units were reduced to only two. But now I say top, a very ingenious adaptation. The different classes and abilities of the soldiers are super. Everything hormoniert very good. Otherwise it is just as in the basic management. The battles were well thought out and adapted significantly improved. So clearly, thumbs up!

4) Graphics / Sound
With the image I am also very satisfied. The Unreal engine does a very good job and we have a lot of effort given to the details. Although everything, unlike the original, has become more colorful. The many scenes, particularly in action to see really great and raise the voltage, even after hours.

5) Control / PS3 Integration
The control I found from the start very catchy and above all unproblematic. Here I've made a lot of worry, because I could not imagine how, with all the possibilities, clean gets the control on the controller. But again, everything was great.

Conclusion: In my opinion, a very successful edition, which clearly shows that it is possible to revive the feel and the atmosphere of a classic again. A very clear recommendation in any case to fans of the original and also to interested newcomers. Clearly, my highlight in a genre in which there was for a long time no top hits more!
