Reception
Reviews for X-COM: Enforcer were mixed, receiving an overall Metascore of 65. IGN review stated that the game is "pretty much nonstop action" and that it was perfect for "when only got fifteen minutes to kill", giving it a score of 8/10. GameSpot noted that "it's as mindless of a shooter as they come, and you can't help but be disappointed at the thought of this, in light of the series' roots as a mentally stimulating strategy game," with a review score of 6.4/10. Computer Games Magazine was more harsh, giving it two and half stars out of five, and stating: "X-COM lovers will hate this game, and it's clear the label was just tacked on as some lame attempt to cash in on the series' brand appeal." In a 2012 retrospective article, Richard Cobbett of PC Gamer made fun of the relatively high Metacritic score that the game received and called it "one of the worst spin-offs ever squirted out on the PC."

“I gave a speech in Omaha. After the speech I went to a reception elsewhere in town. A sweet old lady came up to me, put her gloved hand in mine, and said, “I hear you spoke here tonight.” “Oh, it was nothing,” I replied modestly. “Yes,” the little old lady nodded, “that’s what I heard.””
—Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)
“He’s leaving Germany by special request of the Nazi government. First he sends a dispatch about Danzig and how 10,000 German tourists are pouring into the city every day with butterfly nets in their hands and submachine guns in their knapsacks. They warn him right then. What does he do next? Goes to a reception at von Ribbentropf’s and keeps yelling for gefilte fish!”
—Billy Wilder (b. 1906)
