My opinion is that it is more scripted than the hype had us beleive, but less so than I feared. I doubt I'll play the game over and over but I am looking forward to continuing tonight.

The ability to run isn't available initially, I'm happily running about now with plenty of much needed speed.
That's an excellent idea!!

We've had pretty much the same experience from the start aye, details below.
We've only encountered the xenomorph once in the Tech Support Workshop area once you shut the alarm system down, but it happened at the same time for sure. Every other experience save for the android AI has been similar also. Noises, set pieces etc.
It's a welcome change that's for sure, we've had a lot of laughs egging each other on and varying our play styles. One'll go balls out running into an area, whereas the other will steathily creep about just to see what happens.

Yup I noticed exactly that. In fact, I reloaded my save about 3 times to prove it. Shame really...

Do I need to get the Ripley Edition, or will the vanilla game be sufficient.

if you get it let us know if its good ^_^
I never understood the folks who complain at this, are you able to get that immersed into a game you think it's real life until a highlight appears... or do you enjoy walking to every corner of a game clicking on each inanimate object in case you can pick up that bottle of glue or generic looking stick?
What is the price difference?
The Ripley one comes with the two extra missions based on the Alien movie, fun to play but if it is a lot more expensive then you may want to save the cash?
No. I know how to save though. The savestation does not have to flash bright orange. I can quite easily identify the handle on a door without it flashing orange, and I hope most other people would be able to as well. It is just ridiculous. Nowhere near Ubisoft-bad of course, but you should be able to turn them off.
Most games have the option to turn it off.

The androids are cool.
"You are becoming hysterical."
"Come out of the ventilation system please."
lol
They are driving me mad in the teen levels.
May be a spoiler but read something funny on the Sevastolink.
Apparently a salesman of the 'working Joe' got out of bed to find his synthetic in his best suit. On asking him what he was up to it malfunctioned and became aggressive. LMAO as they are pretty random and weird.
One level I successfully evaded the alien by hiding in a small locker only to be dragged out by a Working Joe, scared the living daylights out of me as I thought the coast was clear.
