I have a somewhat biased opinion on this game, See for me, I'm all about the story, NOT necessarily the graphics, which btw, for the 360, are just great. The story, for me, was good too. And of course to have Michaele Biehn reprise his character added even more value. But again, I am an alien fan and I personally like not only this title but also AvP and to be the best is Alien isolation. The game play in this one is great, in fact, I'd say it has equal controls as CoD and there's no sloppiness in the control system. I have a sealed copy of this, Alien Isolation and AvP. I will play these again, which will make my count of games I replay about 5!!

I don't know why it gets a bad rep, this game is pretty cool. I'd give it a full five stars except for two things: One, I'm 2nd player and all the pointers are given to the 1st player only so I miss out during action. Two, the terrible language. The game allows you to become one of the marines and, yes, you have to kill aliens while completing your missions. But there are rogue groups of marines you take on as well. So, about the time you start to feel this is becoming repetitious shooting either the aliens or the bad guy soldiers, it switches in the next chapter. You can choose your difficulty which helps while you learn controls. But as far as people who have reviewed this saying it's the same thing over and over... What were they playing? It has its own story line and the surroundings change with each scene. The objective of kill or be killed is the only thing here to be called repetitious but... duh.Read full review

Decent graphicsfor the age of this game, although overall the environments are very dark. For example, the interior of the colony buildings is so dark, and the flashlight provided to the marines is so small and dim, it makes it difficult to see anything, including aliens, which are almost black. Here's a tip - use LOTS of flares. They don't last long, but they'll let you see what actually is out there, and moving. The motion tracker is a useful tool. The pulse rifle is definitely the weapon to use. The pistol is nice, but doesn't deliver enough rounds to be effective when a hoard approaches. Use the grenades, they do work! The sound effects and music make you feel like you're in the actual movie; very accurate. This is a pretty basic game, but still fun, if you like the Alien brand and genre. Try Aliens Vs. Predator, for a next-level jump in the Alien storyline in gaming; very, very good, with much better graphics quality.Read full review
This was a great game with new weapons. I also enjoyed headshot icons that would pop up red or white due accuracy, one shot one kill. There was a part as a sniper that was amazing due to the distance of the shot I had to make adjustments. This means the further away I actually had to shoot over soldiers head and drop bullet down to head shot!

This game does have flaws. My biggest pet peeve is the story line. They blew up the location on LV 426....so why is the building still standing but a little messed up? Aliens are still running around in hardcore force? I said, "WTF?" OH yeah....and O'neal is a retard. Anyway, besides the drawbacks...if you are a HARDCORE ALIENS fan...then give this game a try! Rent it or do what I did and get it from Gamefly first. DO NOT BUY THIS AT THE RETAIL PRICE! with all that being said...I LIKE THIS GAME. I'm bidding on one right now as I'm writing this! Renting it won't kill anyone...at least you can take it back!
