It's by Interplay, but not by Bioware. Interfaces/engine etc are all different. This is a strategy game that can be played turn-based or continuous turn-based. Characters get to choose perks/traits to customize themselves, and they pick up skill points you can allocate to a number of skills. You can have a character specialize as a sniper and put most of your skill points into small-arms fire, while you can have another as a melee expert and specialize in unarmed combat and melee weapons (though why you would do that I wouldn't know, given that most opponents are armed with AK-47s and Uzis). You can also have someone specialize in auto repair, theft, lockpicking etc. It's pretty cool, I guess I'm finding it hard to work my team as a squad - my main guy always does a rambo on me.
