I bought this when it was on sale for only like 10 bucks new. I didn't have high expectations coming in because of all the bad press and reviews. Playing through, I actually didn't think it was all that bad. That is until I go to a boss fight that was unbeatable.

It's a Ok game. I think it's better that AVP (2010) but no where near as good as Alien: Isolation

Aliens: Colonial Marines............ah.................I liked my experience playing it. I don't know, the weapons reminded me of the movies and the models of the Xenomorphs are quite accurate.

It's not what we've waited for. I don't know what's happening with Gearbox Software - along with magnificent Bordelrlands or BiA's they made such a lame games as DNF or Aliens... Buggy, crappy engine - that's the words, which describe the Aliens.

My motion tracker reached fever pitch as I relayed the grim news to my fellow marines. We'd already lost two squadmates to a cunning spitter who melted them into slop with molecular acid, and the slavering hunters had hounded us into a dank stairwell.

Excellent multiplayer mode; Impressively authentic level dressing; Nails atmosphere and attention to little authentic details

Unambitious; boring; stodgy campaign with nil replay value; Broken AI makes Xenomorphs pathetic and marines useless; Visually underpowered and riddled with glitches; Shockingly awful (borderline insulting) storyline; poorly delivered; Five multiplayer maps (only two in some modes) is not enough

Alien is one of 20th centry's all-time classic movies. In that typical Hollywood style it's spawned sequels, a prequel in the shape of Prometheus - so what was that all about? - and, of course, its fair share of video games.

Faithful alien character design; original score and sound effects; interior ship levels wonderfully lit; first-person shooting thrills; when the game opens up and explores stealth and exploration mid-campaign it becomes original and engaging; play as aliens in multiplayer

AI can be dumb; lacks the required scares; repetitive gameplay; levels often based in same landscape; story lacks engagement; some character and checkpoint glitches

There was a lot of hope for Aliens: Colonial Marines but it seems the gaming world is let down with another attempt to make a successful film tie in. The review should give you a few good reasons why the game suffers but other aspects such as the overused catchphrase ‘Stay frosty!

Lots of fun weapons and equipment; Extensive multiplayer which can be fun with a group of friends; Four player co-op

Awful graphics that belong in the last generation; Even the toughest difficult setting provides no challenge; Over use of franchise catchphrases

It's hard to deny it, Aliens: Colonial Marines isn't the greatest movie tie-in title ever made – even though it really should have been. It had everything in the right place during the early development scenes and splashes we got a chance to see.

This could and should have been so much more. But sadly, it is just a broken game. Game over man, game over.
