Xcom this isn't, but still worth a look at.

I loved playing the old Xcom - UFO Defense game on pc! It was actually my favorite for a VERY long time! The second xcom, Terror from the deep, was so much harder, but still based on the same gameplay mechanics! So you can see how excited I must have been when I saw this title. I actually bought my Nintendo DS for two games...this one, and A boy and his blob. I must say that I am disappointed in this one. I am not a big fan of anime, and they include that type of "big eye white guy" kind of graphics into the game. What happened to the "world view"? I didn't need cartoon crap to enjoy the first two games and don't need it now! The game looks similar however once you get through the training...which SUCKS!!! But is necessary. And who doesn't love shooting up some aliens to save the world? Graphically, it is a good game considering it is for the Gameboy advance, just don't expect much in that area...you can tell what everything is and that's all that matters! Control is a bit sketchy I think. Sometimes it's tiresome trying to get the reticle where you want it and that pop up thing is annoying. Overall, I will play this game ALOT when I get deployed and have any kind of free time on my hands. But at home, it will sit on the shelf till I need it.
