Most played game by a 'hardcore' gamer August 30, 2008
Xcom Ufo Defense is simply the best strategy game ever made. It is a classic. I just purchased this game for the third time in 10 years, and this one will never be loaned or given away. All the clone attempts over the years have failed miserably in comparison. I remember thinking how I had rented another crummy game the first few minutes I spent playing Xcom. The graphics were terrible even then. However controlling an entire global army to combat aliens in air and on ground, and researching thier technology is just a great concept, unmatched to this day.
Rare Find - But WELL worth it! March 25, 2008
i was first introduced to xcom 1996 it is too addictive. The graphics are not state-of-the-art... but I DARE YOU to find better gameplay and content! Just the research on "alien artifacts" alone is too much fun. Well worth the find. I will warn you this game takes a brain. Much like Sim City or Tactics. but if you're smart enough to play a game of chess. .. then you'll be fine. Just Get It!
A collector's and a gamer's game! August 27, 2006
I've been playing this game for months now. I was surprised at how much fun this game is. If you have a Playstation One, you have to get this game. If you're a collector, you have to get it or your collection will be incomplete. It is addictive and will suck up hours out of your life.
All the fun of the original PC game without the annoying errors January 16, 2006

Buy this game! You won't regret it.
I'm not a fan of strategy games. I've never been into Populous, Civilization, Command & Conquer, or anything resembling. However, I can't stop playing this game. Every year I pick it up and start playing it again.
You are at the helm of a multinationally funded UFO defense team. Your goal is simple, protect earth from the oncoming insurgency, and ultimately seek and destroy the source of the invasion. Aside from the strategic turn-based combat sequences, you will control all aspects of the administrative efforts. Sink your fingers into the purchasing of supplies, design of bases, hiring and firing of personel, the armament of your aircraft (for shooting down UFO's) and MOST IMPORTANTLY, which alien technologies to research and incorporate into your arsenal.
Combat sequences boast a fully destructible environment, a rarity in classic gaming! Need to get down to a lower floor? Blast a hole and drop down! If there's a tree blocking your view, turn it into kindling with a well placed shot then take aim at your newly exposed enemies. You can even level a hill if you have the firepower! The designers should be proud, they thought of everything.
If you try this game you will discover a new love.
One of the Best January 4, 2005

I dont know what it would be like on the PS1 but on the computer it is considered one of the best games of all times and also a clear example of gameplay over graphics.
