Looks like a rip off of the X-Com games to me :/

Guys, i am looking for ages for a decent price for the first two Call of Duty games. Hard copy or digital. Nothing! And they never appear on the various sales!
Anyone can spot s'thing?

That would be because it's the same series of games

 

[Glaucus]

Thanks, it was a great game.

Is it?
I bought the X-Com pack and this wasn't included.

Only ever really played the first on (UFO Enemy Unknown) TFTD never really caught my attention

X-Com: Apocalypse was my favourite. I'd still love to see that re-made fully with modern graphics. I'd pay full price for it!

Is it? Not made by the same developer, not included in the X-Com pack. Looks just like a rip off.

Series X-COM

Yes it's part of the same series, but is not part of the same story line.
It's a very good game.

You grabbed the new one? Played nothing else since I bought it lol
So much time wasted

 

[Glaucus]

Just seen they are making a ufo2:exterrestrial due out by end of year

 

[pingwing]

Cheers for pointing that out, got me off my bum to buy the things I have been eyeing up for ages!

UFO will be fun, got lone survivor and home as well for the fun of it.

Series X-COM

Yes it's part of the same series, but is not part of the same story line.
It's a very good game.

Where are you seeing that? I've just looked again on the link provided and still can't see it. The description even calls itself a "spiritual successor".

Yup, got it on Xbox (don't shout ) and loving it, really good fun. Going through on Normal to start, to get used to it, then I'll be attempting a Classic Ironman run I think.

More wiki pasting:

A spiritual successor, sometimes called a spiritual sequel or a companion piece, is a successor to a work of fiction which does not directly build upon the storyline established by a previous work as do most traditional prequels or sequels, but nevertheless features many of the same elements, themes, and styles as its source material.

Yes, which is exactly what a rip off is. Uses similar ideas, themes and settings, but isn't set in the same universe, doesn't follow the same storylines, and isn't made by the same people.

As I said, looks like a rip off of X-Com.
