Better and more immersive than the first game. Everything is pretty much a refinement of xcom 1, more of the same, with refinements here and there. There is a sense of urgency in the game though, as most scenarios are timed, which has both postive and negative effects. The positive is that they give you a sense of urgency, while at the same time, they take away slow, careful methodical approaches. The graphics are amazing. The alien research feature makes it so there is also a sense of urgency in the game as a whole, and not just in each individual mission.
