UFO: Extraterrestrials

Does anyone remember possibly the greatest strategy game ever made?
X-com: Enemy Unknown

A Chezch company has produced a sequel to it:

UFO:EXTRATERRESTRIALS - tactical and RPG Ufo styled strategy game

I've only played it about 4hours and already I'm really impressed. Graphically its superior to X-Com (obviously) but not to 2007 standards, being an indie game and all. The atmosphere is way ahead of any other pretenders to X-Coms throne although to be fair, no game will ever come close to matching it. this is aided by having loads of the same sound effects from the original, helping immersion if you have played it before.

It's also pretty moddable, some people have already changed all the minor differences to have the same ruleset as X-Com and someone else is working on putting it back on Earth instead of an alien planet.

I'll put up a review once I've completed it or got closer to the end but so far I'm really impressed.
