9/10 too. I got it and TFTD in a trade based on reputation alone. After
installing, I was still "Just looking at it" 5 hours later.

I Loved the undersea setting, but there was way too much psionics. 7/10

9.5 out of 10 here. I like this slightly better than the original. There's just
more stuff in it. The art is excellent.

8/10 A complete success moving X-Com to a space sim. Even the difficulty curve
translates.

6/10 An FPS with no hint of imagination. The weapon balance is sad too. It does
give you the chance to pull the trigger on  classic X-Com enemies yourself.
This is a great game if you feel like killing 4-500 things in two minutes.
