It's fantastic if you enjoy turn based tactics games.

2 is pretty fun, it has some stealth mechanics and the little sectoid aliens you would encounter in the previous games decided to beef up and take steroids

About the new DLC, I've been playing it for two days. They did a great job of implementing the new classes, and the slight changes in the game mechanics improved the "Xcom experience". Again, Firaxis is to be congratulated.

If your PC is shit, look up "Open X-com".

It's a super modded up version of the original X-com game and it's basically everywhere due to it's age and it's popularity. It's much more in-depth, tactical, and complex than the newer ones, but comes at the cost of looking like an 80's wet dream.

But be warned, even on the easier difficulties the game is super fucking hard, and if you are brave enough to play on Iron-man then more power to ya, but I'll just get started on digging a grave for you, when you eventually die of either a stress-induced aneurysm or suicide.

Also the controls are about as simple and intuitive as a god damn nuclear submarine, so definitely read the wikki a couple hundred times before you start.
