When this happens, you'll be plunged headlong into combat with hordes of alien scumbags. I'm sorry Jeremy, but your taunting days have finally come to an end. While Championship Manager 2 is. X-COM die-hards need not worry, the option for turn-based action is still there, but to be honest, the new real-time combat is so good I really can't see why anyone would want to play the much slower and often infuriating turn-based tactical game.
The argument that turn-based combat is more of a strategic challenge doesn't hold up any more as you can stop the real-time action at any point to make strategic decisions. The other advantage to real-time is that you can speed up the action when you get close to the end of a mission. That final elusive alien git that simply refuses to pop his head out of whatever hole he's hiding in is no longer a complete pain in the arse as you can simply speed up the action, send all your agents whizzing around the play area, and you'll find the culprit in no time.
Then of course, there's the fact that real-time combat, by its very nature, is much more exciting than its turn-based counterpart.
Aside from the real-time nature of the new combat section, there are other areas of the tactical game that have been given a complete facelift. The variety of missions, for example, is much greater than before. You can send agents to investigate buildings for alien activity and if they do find any you can pretty much guarantee that an enormous scrap will immediately ensue. You can raid buildings belonging to organisations which are hostile towards you.
If you take this option you'll have the added satisfaction of completely wrecking the building belonging to the organisation that pissed you offr as well as being able to steal all their equipment at the end of the mission. You can also use your spacecraft to attack enemy buildings, or even some of your road vehicles if they've got suitable weaponry.
Generally speaking, X-COM 3 has much more variety than the early games in the series. You can pause time and spend ages assigning agents and vehicles to tasks, or just speed things up if you want to get on with things. This is the beauty of the open-ended nature of the game, and this is what makes X-COM 3 not only better than the previous X-COM games, but for my money better than any game of its type.
Now if you'll excuse me there's a whole world out there in danger of being taken over by aliens, and I'm not going to get it sorted out sitting here blabbering to you lot. Browse games Game Portals. X-COM 3: Apocalypse.

Ok first let me start off by saying, i cant mount everything fine, the sound and mouse works fine which is the biggest problem ive found HOWEVER, when i try to save it like imediatly deletes my save file, and cannet store it anywhere for some reason.
I tried to install from cd but it hangs on the "reading cd rom speed" part any help on this? Ive tried a frontloader and just the original dos box running the program and the same things keep happening.
I just want to be able to save my game. A game i tested called "dune" saved just fine. Solution is simple - just create a new folder in the Apocalypse main directory, named Savegame. The game cannot probably make this folder by itself game is presuming that it already is there. Then you will be able to save. Vista forbids programs to save anything except in your "My Documents" folder.
