You dont have to be familiar with the award-winning X-COM series to enjoy
X-COM: Terror From the Deep for the PlayStation game console, said Louis

a fast-paced strategy game, then youll love this game.

Based on the award-winning PC product and sequel to the classic X-COM: UFO
Defense, the PlayStation game console version of X-COM: Terror From the
Deep has enhanced sound effects and pits the player against aliens
terrorizing the earth. Seeking to take advantage of a weakened Earth, the
X-COM deep space aliens unexpectedly change strategy and launch a powerful
second front against planet Earth in the dark depths of vast oceans; the
long-sleeping creatures are awakened by re-animation signals sent out
across the galactic silence by their interstellar brothers and sisters.
Slowly, but surely, an army of formerly hibernating alien sea creatures
attack.

X-COM: Terror From the Deep has an actual undersea geoscape mapping system
with rich topographic detail, a full array of undersea technology, rich
graphics that feature water coloration and wrecks, multi-level tactical
maps featuring both underseascapes and buildings, an alien encyclopedia
with mutation technology and new water creatures. This version of X-COM:
Terror From the Deep is sure to repeat last years success of X-COM: UFO
Defense on the PlayStation game console.
