Great, more shooting at aliens. Inspired idea.

I take you dont beleive in Extra Terrestrials?

Streeteh · 14 Nov 2007 at 19:47

I believe in them, however by the time they arrive on earth everyone will be so programmed by these games that we'll just blow their brains out with a shotgun.

Universally slated game i wouldn't bother.

Paul -C- · 14 Nov 2007 at 22:45

Is there a demo out yet?

Born_2_Kill_83 · 14 Nov 2007 at 22:50

Could be all nothing absolute nothing

smithy83 · 14 Nov 2007 at 22:57

i liked the look of this a few months back but going to give it a miss to many other games up in the pecking order before this

but if there is a demo and i like it ill get it

Hmm i played the demo on the 360 and it was actually quite good. But the PC Screens dont look as good, so im not sure if im going to buy this one.

Sauce?

Seriously though has there been any reviews released yet? I figured that it's reception would ultimately be pretty average, cant say I thought a lot of the demo and with so much else coming out this has never really stood a chance.

360 demo in my opinion was terrible - literally god-awful.... so I wouldn't bother with all these new FPS's out this month

Flammy · 15 Nov 2007 at 01:25

like most people here, I thought the demo was pants. wont bother with this one.

steve258 · 15 Nov 2007 at 02:08

Actually could be quite a nice game but bad timing tbh after so many huge releases e.g. Crysis, COD4, Timeshift, GOW, UT3...etc

Looks good, played 360 demo months ago

but iirc had a lot of stutterin problems, hope theyre fixed

mart981 · 15 Nov 2007 at 11:40

Less fun than Jericho.

Ouch!

OK received my copy today but can't apply the 1.2 patch!! It kept saying old files not found and nothing is updated because contents don't match, so I assume the DVD comes with the latest pacth?? Can anyone confirm??

Graphics wise it's exactly what you'd expect from the unreal engine, looks very good and the gameplay wasn't as bad as I anticipated, although I've only played it for 15 mins so far.

My overall opinions are as follows; meh
