Aliens: Colonial Marines, holy crap, this might be one of the worst games I have ever played. I'm not going to get into the story because....who cares? The Aliens franchise is beloved, and when I heard Gearbox was developing it I was excited, this was the company that developed Borderlands 1&2, so I was happy. As the launch window neared I became slightly worried, I thought the game would be decent...I was wrong, its a total disaster.
Let me get one thing out of the way, the only good thing about this game is the sound effects. It seems like they have every sound effect from the franchise right, from the cutting tool to the pulse rifle.
Now that I got the only good thing about the game out of the way, let me tell you whats really bad with this game, in short bursts. The graphics make the game look like it came out in 2004, the Xenomorphs a.i. is terrible and they don't even attack you, so theres no real threat. The same goes for friendly a.i. The game is also way to easy, since the a.i. is so dumb you can complete it with ease. Also theres multiplayer, god knows why they had to have multiplayer, I have to give the game credit for making the multiplayer more intense than the actual story is, the only problem is the different teams (Marines v.s. Xenomorphs) are unbalanced.
This game is a disaster on every level from the HUD to the gameplay, stay far away from this game, even if you are a big fan of the Alien franchise as I am.
