Any one played this game yet? If yes what do you think?

I haven't played it firsthand, but I hear it's crap. The reason why I didn't play it is because it refused to install on my system...

I played a while, for me  it's poor copy of X-COM. About Soldiers are immortal -they get only knock out on battle, and have very poor aim. AI isn't so good, monster move in group so it easy to eliminate them with splash damage weapons. There are some other annoying things.
Here is movie of  tactic gameplay and second part.
global Tgameplay movie.
I heard that mods make this game much better but i only played "pure" version at friends house.

well i got a copy, thought it cant be that bad, well it is! bullets fly out the guns at weird angles, soldiers miss the targets an inch away. I installed a mod "bman"
and now soldiers can die and loads of things are fixed. Personally i think that alien invasion is light years ahead of this game in graphics and more fun.Be warned folks 
watch the links above like i did after.

I cannot beleive I just found this Website.  I bought UFO Extraterrestrials a year ago thinking "Maybe! Just maybe something good has come.  A real replacement" ..man.. Such crap.  I haven't touched that game for a year because of my disappointment.  I seriously wish I had known about UFO: Alien Invasion.

I'm so glad you guys are still here working on the same game.  I recently Bought UFO: Trilogy (Aftermath, afterlight series) just to quench my thirst for X-com.

I can't wait to get home and download this version! The trailer looks awesome!

I like the menu artwork for Extraterrestrials, though.

Trust me, i played it and completed it..... it sux.

Though i must say at the time of its release, it was quite a hype (for its UFO-connected fans)...... the plot, the battle sux.

Esp the battle..... very diff feel from Xcom and the enemies cluster-*@%k.

Aniwae, i still have a copy of it though, for the fun of it...... I even have afterlight and whats the other one in the series?.... nah, i am sticking with UFOAI. lol. Or simply the Good o' Xcom (which i still have a copy and DOSBOX or a Pen 120 for this purpose running in DOS 6.22). lol.

How about if you don't compare it with X-Com? WOuld it still hold up as a good game?

Or is UFO: AI our only hope?

And if i dun compare? It sux more...... Its ai is crap, the soldiers not realistic, and basically i dun like the gameplay and concept........ Yupz. And u have to pay good money for it...... Sigh.

This game is really easy to mod and there is a very nice mod on net full of new options, harder AI (and dificult levels for it), soldiers really dying and other tweaks to make it more real and chalenging.

But yes, the game as it is on retail release do sux. Not because the game concept sux, but because it seems very badly executed by the game project. You get the impression it was just released in a hurry before it was all tested/tweaked/balanced.

Mods do fix a lot of it though. And game is very mod friendly (Well, I surelly can't code good enough for UFO AI, but I had no problem modding extraterrestrials myself on every little thing. Very simple to handle the game var. and files). Everything from items to game mechanics was very easy to edit.

3) UFOAI
4) X Beyond the Frontier
5) Fantasy - Endless Nova
6) Space Empire 4 - Heavily Modded version.
