UFO: Aftershock hands-on preview:
Our reporter went to the Czech Republic last week to visit UFO: Aftershock developer ALTAR interactive. While there he got to play a version of the game that was less than a week from completion. You can find his preview over at StrategyCore.co.uk (http://www.strategycore.co.uk/ufo/pg/aspreview1)
The four soldiers entered the map inside the capsule. I moved them carefully just outside, but didn't immediately spot any Transgenants. So I moved my team along some railway track with a large train on them, and soon met the first enemy. All four soldiers were ordered to fire, and it went down quickly. Piece of cake I thought, and moved on. Coming around the front of the train however, I got to learn that I had only met the scout. Four Transgenants started attacking my soldiers, and one of the guys was hit so hard he stumbled and fell.
