Yikes.

[Thrik]

Really sad, no idea what the heck happened over at Gearbox. Perhaps they'd be better off avoiding alien-related IPs for a while, if it weren't for Borderlands' success they'd be in serious trouble.

[knj]

damn, this game is bad

[robert.briscoe]

Exactly as expected: horrible dialog + story + AI + every marine cliche in the book. Sad.

I actually expected it to do slightly better.

Slightly.

Fuaaark what to do ? It still is ALIENS game, and i've waited for sloooooooo fck long for it

just played a little, it's a game, not the best ever released but it's enjoyable enough to keep playing. the sound design is pretty slick, the weapon sounds are glorious and worth a purchase alone

visually i have seen worse but this is definitely not a game that looks good compared to more up-to-date vidya.

i'll keep playing it because it's another outing into the alien universe, but if that wasn't there i doubt i'd even give it a second glance. i guess that was a discussion had often internally..

hopefully we'll get a post-mortem, i seriously doubt it, but it would be a fascinating read (i know it's tough working with outside publishers and movie franchises, i can't imagine that made the process easier)

The reason the sounds are good is because gearbox got the original samples from the movie..
