In terms of length the campaign with all the side-missions done clocks in at around 12-14 hours, depending on how much you explore or how well you do. While not game of the year or anything and containing many features found in other games, along with a p...
Abstract: CommentSpin-offs of popular properties are rarely good. Sure, sometimes you get Daria, The Jeffersons, or Mork and Mindy. More often than not though, you get Joey. The Bureau: XCOM Declassified is essentially the Joey of the video game world this year....
Abstract: "The Bureau: XCOM Declassified" has gone through many changes and is one of the most divisive new video game of August. When it was initially announced, "XCOM" was a first-person shooter, but fans of the original X-COM tactical games were furious with the...

The Bureau: XCOM Declassified's splicing together of third-person shooter and squad tactics is interesting on paper but ultimately unsuccessful. Its blasting never quite overcomes its plodding feel and its tactical elements don't quite gel. But despite t...
Abstract: The first thing that becomes apparent about 3 seconds into The Bureau is that things have changed since XCOM: Enemy Unknown. Rather than a fixed top-down camera you are now armed with a brand new third person over-the-shoulder fully interactive camera to...

If it didn't have the XCOM name attached to it, The Bureau: XCOM Declassified might have made a good game. As it is, it's just a reminder that this isn't XCOM. TBXD is better. Let's call it that.The Bureau: XCOM Declassified was reviewed by LG Community o...
spoods.deAuch wenn man über die optische und spielerische Qualität diskutieren kann, hat The Bureau definitiv seinen Reiz. Der Titel ist kein 08/15-Produkt von der Stange, sondern versucht den PC-Markt mit frischen Ideen und Impulsen zu bereichern. Da...
