Aliens : Colonial Marines - FPS ( They're back ! )

I'm just baffled by how a game that has been in development for the best part of 7 years can be so pants. No wonder they put an embargo on reviews until release day. I bet it still makes a profit as well despite it being worse than a poke in the eye with a rusty spork. To me it was rushed and there is no way on earth this is 7 years of work. More like 6 months.
 
I played SP and MP last night for a few hours..

Actually quite like the game... yeah its not graphically intense and MP is a bit basic but its the only game that's been out recently that I actually look forward to going home and playing..

I totally agree, i think it looks pretty good, action is great. AI not too bad either.

I like the back to basics game play too, no twaddling about all over the place,its a good old corridor shooter:)wiith some cool weapon upgrades, and finding the dog tags, well i never look for that kind of thing in games, but this time i am.

Overall if you lower your expectations a bit, its a very good enjoyable romp

Yeah but if i heard right it was left in limbo for a few years and wasn't touched.
 
Who remembers this classic on PS1 i loved the Alien Trliogy, some are saying it had more atmosphere than this new version.

 
Only 30 secs long, but it is quite funny.

My mate decided to buy this so I might head round tonight and see the game myself. Sometimes I enjoy games which get awful reviews;p

 
Can someone quick summarize please? I remember seeing screens of this last year and it looking pretty good. Is this a mini Duke Nukem:Forever?
