I have player UFO Extraterrestrials and i don't think it is as good as Xcom UFO: Enemy Unknown for a number of reasons
I think that soldiers not dying is a bad move by the developers as i think it removes alot of the urgency of saving ones soldiers and the need for medikits.(Modders have added in this feature it is better with the mod)
UFOs not getting damaged when crash landing makes the missions alittle artificial.
The system of upgrading soldiers in what every you want to is a bit silly i liked the way in Xcom you couldn't pick what was upgraded your men learned as they preformed tasks like shooting made them a better shot and carrying heavy loads made them stronger.
It doesn't have that gritty feel of UFO Enemy Unknown i loved the terror missions.
I think the story in UFO Extraterrestrials is interesting about it being a colony and thats why you don't have to many resources and not many recruits.
Personally i think its a bit of a clone but not a very good one i think its silly to use the Snakeman alien in this game i think they used it to make people think it has something to do with Xcom.
By the way the game has nothing to do with Xcom UFO enemy unknown as the team that made UFO Extraterrestrials had nothing to do with UFO enemy unknown.

Its not the worst game in the world and it would be good if more developers made tactical squad based games.

MinigunFiend no it doesn't have multiplayer if you want to play a multiplayer Xcom like game here are some

UFO 2000 : http://www.abandonia.com/en/games/96 (free)
Laser Squad Nemesis: http://www.lasersquadnemesis.com/ (not free )

If you are looking for a good single player turn based strategy game try out Jagged Alliance 2 your not fighting aliens but its still fun.

Some people might find UFO Extraterrestrials enjoyable but I think I will stick too the old Xcom series for now.
