Bought this off Amazon $20 during the winter sale and absolutely enjoy it. My only major gripe is how finnicky the dice rolls can be but otherwise good game. The presentation is unique and it has a near perfect scale of difficulty from normal up.
I agree on Solomon about the unpredictable and hostile atmosphere in the game, you just throw everything at the superior aliens in order to destroy them and survive. Sometimes it got really messy in the original games.
Unfortunately the X-Com of Firaxis gets really predictable and calculatable due to the preset maps and pretty obvious spawn and detection system of the aliens. You always know how missions are going to play out. I think they did a great job on the game although a bit more of randomness would have been great.
I'm still waiting on a mod to replace the soldiers with some realistic looking Marines and weapons. I'm not a fan of the whole Warhammer look
The base assault feature would have been a cool feature to implement.
Would have made you more attached to that shiny new power generator you just built.

I rather like the exaggerated artstyle and presentation. It adds soul to the game.
