“Despite this title receiving alot of hate and poor reviews I personally enjoyed the campaign. The sound effects nail the movie experience especially the sounds of the pulse rifle and smart gun. No other Alien game to…”
“The vibes on this are off the chain - it directly channels the sound and music from the Aliens movie (or feels like it does). Good first impression! However, this does not last. The largest issue I have is with the…”

“It's a good game. Ppl were only hating on it when it came out cos it didn't look like the E3 trailer.”
“Just no, this game looks worse than Halo:CE that's 10 years older and has some of the worse gunplay I have every experienced. This is a total waste of time even if you are a huge Alien fan.”
