Fun but a little shallow

I was so excited to find this game since I was feeling nostalgic for the original X-COM game. And this is a good fun imitation that works fairly well on my IPad. However, its a little buggy, with bad physics programming in many situations (try standing up and throwing a grenade over a waist-high picket fence).

The biggest shortcoming, though, is that it just isnt as deep as the original. The old PC game was spooky and scary due to the plot (when the aliens start abducting your marines and playing mind control games on them, for example), but even the 2.0 version of AvH doesnt really have a plot. Its just one fight after another, with no sense that the aliens are improving at the same time the humans are.

I still enjoyed it quite a bit and recommend this game. But its very shallow.
