The Bureau has some interesting ideas that are brought down by very annoying issues. After Enemy Unknown I was interested in the series. This may not be a turn-based strategy, but it had some things that made it stand out. This includes the ability to tell your allies what to do during combat. This seemed like a good idea but your teammates A.I. is so inept at doing the most basic of action, like getting into cover to avoid enemy fire, it becomes frustrating. When your not babysitting your team you will notice that the gameplay is unsatisfying. The gameplay itself isn't bad. The game does look good, and I like the 1960's setting. The story is also decent with a really good idea thrown in. They also added other things that seem pointless. In the end The Bureau has good graphics, some neat ideas, and a decent story. It falls flat on mostly everything else which is disappointing.
