Game Description
Enlist in the Colonial Marines and journey to the planet LV-426 in this story that plays as a true sequel to James Cameron's hit Aliens. Face one of the deadliest beings in the universe as you battle the classic creature in all of its forms: the Facehugger, Chestburster, Warrior, Drone (seen in Alien 3), and Queen. You'll also have to survive a new Crusher alien created just for this game. Customize weapon load-outs and explore environments from the movies. Need backup? Call in up to three friends to join your squad in drop-in/drop-out co-op play that spans the entire storyline. It may be just another day in the corps, but one day in the corps brings action unlike anywhere else!
