aliens:colonial marines is actually a very good game.it might not be a GOTY, but it is still an action packed,fps experience.this game is pretty much like the movies,including planet LV-426 where you and your fellow marines must stop an xeno alien infestation.everywhere you go,there are aliens;climbing up the walls,crawling through vents,running at you,etc.they are pretty fast,so aim and shoot quickly and acuratley so you don't get killed so fast.overall great aliens game.

This game is perfect for: kid gamers
This game is terrible! Waste of money and time! Only one level worth wasting your time and it's only fun because you can get your friends killed by making noise and watching "handicap" aliens run and walk all stupidly. Doom all who released this game! It's the Duke Nukem forever of Alien games and dnf had better graphics which is sad. I think Hitman for xbox had better graphics

Having been exposed to the Alien franchise as a young child I've waited years for a decent video game. Though lacking the polish I'd have liked on the graphics this game has quite the story to tell. Paying homage to the original series in clever and amazing ways. With co-op capabilities and even a versus multiplayer this game is definitely worth a try.

This game is perfect for: hardcore gamers
Okay after playing the HORRIBLE first time play through of the entire game. The 2nd and 3rd time playing was MUCH EASIER and FUN, like a normal FPS should be like. The STORY was awesome and original. BUT NOW, some MEAN EVIL fool has made an update. If you do not take the update it takes AWAY YOUR RIPLY's Flamethrower Gun combo GUN, WHY? and it also WILL NOT LET YOU LOG ONTO XBOX LIVE. NOW IF YOU DO ACCEPT THE UPDATE, THE EVIL SEGA TURNED THE GAME BACK INTO A HORRIBLE REPLAY GAME THAT MAKES IT 1000X HARDER TO PLAY. SO BE WARNED....IF YOU GET THE UPDATE, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO PLAY THE GAME ANYMORE FOR YOU DIE HARD FANS (LIKE ME), CUZ THE GAME WILL BE WAY WAY WAY TOO HARD AGAIN, WORSE THAN THE FIRST TIME PLAY. TAKE IT FROM ME, DO NOT ACCEPT THE UPDATE, YOU WILL LOOSE RIPLY'S GUN AND BE LOGGED OFF OF XBOX LIVE, BUT AT LEAST THE GAME PLAY WILL BE MORE FUN AND PLAYABLE. WHO ON GODS PLANET THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO UPDATE A HARD GAME TO BEGIN WITH, AND GIVE AN UPDATE TO MAKE IT EVEN HARDER THAN PERSONAL TOOTH EXTRACTION??? YOU MEAN PROGRAMMERS AT SEGA THAT DECIDED ON THIS UPDATE ARE EVIL MEAN PEOPLE, AND MAY GOD CURSE YOU FOR YOUR EVIL UPDATE THAT MAKES THE GAME UNPLAYABLE AGAIN. I CURSE YOU SEGA. JUST SO YOU KNOW. I WILL NOT ACCEPT THE UPDATE. I WOULD RATHER HAVE A GAME I LIKE PLAYING THAN TO ACCEPT AN UPDATE THAT MAKES THE GAME 1MILLION TIMES HARDER THAN THE FIRST TIME. WHY DID YOU HAVE TO TAKE MY RIPLY'S GUN IS BEYOND ME. IT MAKES NO SENSE. THE ONLY REASON I CAN THINK OF IS THAT YOU HAVE NO INTENTIONS OF EVER MAKING A GREAT ALIENS GAME, ONLY TO STEAL PEOPLE'S HARD EARNED MONEY IN THIS BAD ECONOMY. ALSO I WILL NEVER EVER NEVER EVER EVER BUY ANOTHER GAME ON PRE ORDER. I AM ONLY BUYING USED GAMES FOR NOW ON.

I cant even tell you how disapointed i was when i played this game. there are so many things that could have been done especially with the rich history of the colonial marines. the graphics are dated. the story makes no sense. its way too easy even on the hardest difficulty the A.I. is terrible and its not scary at all. stay away from this abomonation especially if your a huge fan of the aliens series like I was.

Let Me Just Get One Thing Clear From The Start This Is NOT What We Wanted After Waiting Six Long Years With That Said I Will Say That Believe It Or Not I Did Find Myself Enjoying The Game More Than I Thought I Would It's Brainless Fun For A Few Hours If You Can Forget All It's Flaws And I Know There's So Many It Might Be Hard For Some To Do Aliens Colonial Marines Story Is A Joke And For Aliens Fans It's A Complete Let Down It's Not Engaging And For The Most Part It Makes No Sense The Graphics Are Extremly Average And Animations Are Stiff And Funny Looking Though I Must Say The Backrounds And Set Pieces Are Nicely Done As An Aliens Fan Running Around Lv-426 And Finally Getting A Chane To Visit Hadley's Hope Was A Pretty Cool Experience The Sound In The Game Is Top Notch All The Sounds From The Movie Are Spot On From Your Motion Tracker Or Shots Of The Pulse Rifle It's Pretty Much Perfect The Campaign Can Be Played With Up To Four Friends Online And Can Be Mildly Enjoyable But Only With The Difficulty Turned Up To The Max The Reason Being The AI Is Hilariously Dumb Aliens Move Out In The Open And Directly Charge You Head On There's No Suspence With The Encounters Just Aim And Shoot Rinse And Repeat Even In The Short 5 Hours It Took Me To Complete The Story It Was Pretty Repetitive But Again It Can Be Fun To Get Together With Some Freinds And Mindlessly Run Around Blasting Xenos Multiplayer Fairs A Bit Better It's Class Based And Surprizingly A Blast To Play You Control Both The Marines And The Aliens Modes Range From Standard TDM To Survial Modes Where Your Goal Is To Stay Alive Or An Escape Mode Where You Must Reached The Extraction Point Before Being Overun By Aliens Who Are Controlled By Other Players It's Here That I Enjoyed Myself The Most But It Still Can't Save The Overall Feeling Of Being Let Down This Beloved Franchise Deserves Better If You're Curious Give It A Rent But I Can't Recomend A Purchase Even For The Most Hardcore Aliens Fan

I wouldn't buy this game even if it was for free. Gearbox and Sega really messed up big time with this title. If this is how Gearbox treats franchises other than their own (borderlands) then I'll never buy another game from them.

After all the hate and bad reviews of this game I said f it and spent 40 dollars on it and let me tell you this game is actually pretty good people make the game look like it's bad when it isnt. Graphics are not the greatest but it all matters on the content of the game. Fighting Aliens is fun even with the mix of humans was pretty good. Story line is ok. Multiplayer overall is pretty fun with a slight lag issue at times. But overall I give this game a 8/10

I mean sure its not exactly what you expected, but it was a great game. The graphics could have been better to, but still the story itself was just so hardcore. I loved it man! I mean even multiplayer lacks a little, but still! The game play was awesome to. Not mention it felt like you were in the movie!!!!!!!!!!

the campaign was great and somewhat lengthy. If you like shooting up aliens then I would recommend the game. Multiplayer so far is good. It would be awesome if the made a survival game somewhat how they did with the cod zombies series. But overall I'd give the game around a ten

I take back every bad thing I said about this GAME, cuz I FOUND the secret on HOW TO PLAY IT. Okay FIRST you have to play it all the way through, I know that it will StinK, cuz they made it too difficult with the enemy humans. BUT ONCE YOU FINISH THE GAME, GO BACK AND START OVER FROM THE BEGINNING AND PLAY IT AGAIN. YOU GET TO KEEP ALL OF YOUR WEAPONS FROM THE FIRST TIME AROUND. NOW I KNOW THE FIRST TIME AROUND PLAYING THE GAME WAS TERRIBLE, BUT NOW, IT IS AWESOME. USE THE SNIPER RIFLE TO KILL THE ENEMY HUMANS. IT KILLS THEM IN LIKE TWO SHOTS AND YOU CAN DO IT FAR AWAY. I WAS JUST GETTING READY TO SELL MY GAME BACK TO GAMESTOP, BUT I THOUGHT TO MYSELF LET ME JUST PLAY THE FIRST LEVEL AGAIN. I AM SO GLAD I DID, CUZ I HAD SOOOOOO MUCH FUN PLAYING IT THE SECOND TIME AROUND. ESPECIALLY WITH ALL THE WEAPONS I HAD. TRUST ME, PLAY IT AGAIN, AND YOU WILL HAVE SOOOO MUCH FUN PLAYING IT THE SECOND TIME, I HAVEN'T DIED YET, NOT EVEN ONCE, AND I AM ON LEVEL 3 NOW. I AM HAVING SO MUCH FUN PLAYING IT NOW. TRUST ME, FIGHT YOUR WAY AND PLAY IT THE FIRST TIME ALL THE WAY THROUGH, THEN GO BACK AND START FROM LEVEL ONE, AND PLAY IT AGAIN, TRUST ME, IT WILL PLAY 1000 TIMES BETTER AND SO MUCH MORE FUN. I AM KEEPING THIS GAME. I am sorry for all the bad things I said, but now that I know the secret, and going back and playing it a second time, i am having SOOOO MUCH FUN. I just had to come back on here and TELL YOU GUYS. GIVE IT A TRY and do what I did, you will see it plays the way it should have played in the first place. To bad they didn't put the Big BLUE light level numbers like they did in Aliens vs Predator, when they were on the planet, that would have made this GAME A PERFECT TEN. But that is another issue. TRUST ME and GO BACK. Play it again and have FUN. Have fun and happy alien shooting

As a movie fan, a great game. As a game fan, utterly a waste of time. If you are an a fan of the franchise, its worth a rental or a $10 buy. It is in no way a fatastic title. The sound is great, the music fits the mood. The lack of great gameplay, really made this a one time campaign with no desire to even try the multi-player. The re-play value is nil because of the numerous bugs and just plane old "crappyness". Avoid this title.

This game is a great addition to the Aliens franchise and I'm tired of hearing about how bad it is from a bunch of COD players who probably only played the game for an hour or two. What this game has is balance and for a first person shooter thats hard to come by these days. You can use any weapon for the marines and any class of Xeno in the multiplayer and compete with it, unlike games like COD and BF3 where there's always that overpowered no skill weapon. Theres an extensive unlock and customization system that challenges you to step outside the box of your normal playstyle and earn rewards for doing it. The multiplayer has a real feeling of tension and survival on the marines part, and complete satisfaction when your the xeno inducing that fear. And those challenges can be completed in both multiplayer and singleplayer which will keep you coming back to the campaign adding to the lasting appeal.
Singleplayer will make you feel as though your actually in the boots of a colonial marine. Everything from the pulse rifle sound to the details in the environments, which are spot on to the movie by the way, bring the campaign to life and would make James Cameron proud to call it a sequel.
The game will only get better over the next few months with the season pass content coming out between march and the summer, meaning you only have to wait roughly one month between DLC's, unlike many games that get drawn out over a years time. In one of the DLC's there's said to be a "horde" like gamemode which should add a second element to the multiplayer experience.
So do yourself a favor and don't listen to the COD players who continue to buy the same game with a different title each year, and continue to shoot the same overpowered famas-like weapon, and then pay a hundred dollars to get the rest of their maps, and then come on here and give it a 10 out of 10 rating and say its the greatest thing since MW2. Because these players haven't actually played anything else but COD since MW2, and when they try they fail to see outside the box and bash everyother shooter game they can in force just like Medal of Honor Warfighter and try to put them out of business. I like to play alot of different games not just one for the rest of my life and if you take the time to read this then you probably do to. So I definately recommend you try the game and I hope you have as much fun as me playing it.
