Aliens Colonial Marines was not not long out when we made this video and the game had roundly panned by all of the reviewers out there, annoyingly for us, because of this reception our freinds would not get the game. Now the bulk of the bad reviews for this game were focussed around that fact that the game was not as shown in the pre-release hype but if, like us, you do not pay any attention to pre-release hype because you know that it is sales and marketing bullshit, you would have found this game to be rather enjoyable. As an FPS, one one the most important elements is the guns and the guns in this game were everything an Aliens fan would have wanted, added to this, the online elements of the game were innovative, fun and truly asymetric. This game paid the price for lying in its PR campaign. Learn the lesson, all PR is bullshit!
I always wanted to give this game a try, as Aliens is one of my favorite movies of all time. The game is dirt cheap now, so I might have to look past the hate it got and give it a try.
I don't know if you'll get a game online now, on the consoles at least, but this game as an FPS was no worse than any of the others from the time. Myself and the 4 people I played it with all enjoyed it. Just out of interest, if you do decide to give it go, let me know what you think of it
Haha, nice! Upvoted&Followed. Feel free to follow me too for some weird alien/pizza/whale crap..
