Fair

Great Glitchfest!

Love the game. Aliens is the movie that got me in to sci-fi and it's wonderful to see that they've included so many bits and pieces of the movie, and based the game two weeks after it. That being said... I've had to restart from checkpoint like a bazillion times because of glitches, and the motion detector, while cool, is useless because of how the baddies spawn right on top of you half the time. Still a consideration for the collection, however, as all these things can be fixed by patches in the future.

i went into this game open minded. the graphics weren't bad as people were saying, not great graphics but not horrible. they looked like it was a game from 3 years or so ago. The gameplay is horrible. The Ai's stand around and pretty much do nothing to help, especially useful when you have like 10 aliens attacking at once. the volume for the voices was quite low, i had to turn my turner up way beyond a necessary volume to hear them, and the voice work wasnt too great either. i liked the aliens movies, and wanted to give this a whirl but i should have let gamefly keep this game and gotten something else.

Although I read the reviews on this game, I decided to rent it. I am a huge Aliens fan, so I figured how bad can it be? Well, this was a huge disappointment. The graphics, as others have said, seem to be from a PS2 first generation game. I liked the references to the Alien universe, but the game became just a run and gun. Go here, do this, kill the aliens. The guns were cool, but the story and characters were just plain dull. This is an embarrassment to the franchise.
