Aliens: Colonial Marines Collection

You'll likely buy this for nostalgia factor or just to play another Alien game, it's a decent game though I'd wait for a sale on the collection. In my experience the worst thing I had to deal with were clanky AI that made some sections a bit more difficult to play through, but nothing game-breaking or terrible to look at. The game can be completed in an afternoon, and Stasis Interrupted the evening after. It's a nice trip down nostalgia way after playing it with siblings on an old Xbox 360. Gameplay is what you'd expect, the story is popcorn entertainment, and it's just an enjoyable experience. It's not game-award or favorite game status, but if you like Alien and want to play more Alien, you'll have a nice time.

Nothing like a late review!

Aliens: Colonial Marines is a terrible game. Even for its time. That is not to say someone can't have fun playing it. Aliens: Colonial Marine might even be someone's favorite game. That doesn't change the fact it is terrible.

Graphics: Passable, but not cutting edge even for 2012. Maybe with a reshade or something it might look as good as the trailers on steam, but it doesn't even look that good at default, much less as good as the infamous E3 reveal trailer.

Aesthetic: It's Aliens. If the graphics were better it would be a good looking copy of Aliens, but the graphics are not that good, so it's a passable copy of Aliens. About the most positive thing I can say is: the pulse rifles look right, and the gloves the main/player character wears are cool looking.

Level design: Madness, as if someone who had witnessed the cosmic horror behind reality and tried to recreate it in a video game, except for the Space Jockey/Engineer ship sections which are, in a true twist, the most comprehensible and navigable sections in the entire game. Dead ends into empty rooms, so much visual clutter that knowing where you're supposed to go and what you're supposed to do is sometimes a large question mark. I hate to say it, but it almost made me wish for objective markers or yellow paint.

Example: At one point there is an objective to trek deeper into a level to save an NPC, so a door/cargo container is opened into a small dead end cul-de-sac, and the NPC is lying on the ground. But, the NPC blends right into background and the ground itself, so I circled the little cul-de-sac twice looking for a path further in only to finally see the NPC and the name marker that appears only when standing right on the NPC. The previous dialogue made it sound like the level would venture into a hive, which added to the confusion.

Gameplay: It's a first person shooter, only bad. With NPC companions, only they are useless. Even for its time.

All the weapons are inaccurate beyond 30 feet/~10m, and I swear there are certain sections/hallways where the guns just cannot do damage beyond that distance. There is very limited weapon customization as a pointless progression mechanic that was not only entire unnecessary, but in some cases doesn't even make sense. Want a holo sight and a laser sight for slightly better hip firing? Too bad, pick 1. Want to scroll through your weapons? Too bad, you can only scroll through 2 of them, and despite carrying extra you have to bring up the weapon menu to access the extra ones.

Do you like NPC companions? You won't in Aliens: Colonial Marines. Not only do they only do about 1/16 the damage the player does, when they decide to do damage at all, but they often get stuck and don't proceed further into the level with the player. The enemy AI is also brain dead. Since the player has to handle everything, it does make ammo always on the brink of empty and increases the tension, despite the brain dead enemies.

Story: Serviceable. Probably would be better if the characters, particularly O'Neal, weren't so insufferable. If the crew of Aliens' Sulaco were the misfits of the Colonial Marine Corps, then the crew of Aliens: Colonial Marines' Sephora are the, "barely had an IQ high enough to qualify for service" of the Colonial Marine Corps. Professionalism? Non-existent. I get it, tensions are high, a dangerous xenomorph threat is around, along with evil corporate shenanigans, but these guys make Hudson look icy cool. To sum up: It's what you get when you have a writer that has no idea how to write people, much less military personnel, who are too cool for regulations in a high stress situation.

Audio: Fine. It's basically all the sound effects from Aliens, without any of the oomph, like they were afraid of adding bass to anything.

Music: Fine. It's "Remember Aliens?!" the soundtrack, except for what I swear was a bizarre Predator score call back in the Space Jockey ship that felt so out of place it is the only piece of music I remember.

Multiplayer: Apparently it exists. I didn't bother, and had no interest in playing multiplayer. Would not make the game better, because anything is more fun when it's with friends, even things as terrible as Aliens: Colonial Marines.

Length: Short. Thankfully. I would say it doesn't overstay its welcome, but that would imply it was welcome in the first place. It certainly doesn't leave one wanting more.

Price: Overpriced. It's terrible. Get it on sale for $5.99 USD if you really want to see how bad it is first hand, but don't pay more than that.

Want a good Colonial Marine campaign? Play any of the Aliens vs Predator entries instead.

Can't deny it's an old game. The story is actually good, however the animations and the AI are horrible. You also have the option to play the campaign in coop and you can find certain people to play the versus mode too.

As a huge fan of the first two Aliens movies, I was really hoping this would be a proper continuation of the story. It’s not. It claims to be a sequel, but it just reuses the setting from Aliens without respecting the actual events. For example — Hadley’s Hope, which was obliterated in a nuclear explosion visible from space, is somehow still standing and fully powered here.

That said, I’ll give credit where it’s due: the environments are incredibly well recreated. You can walk through almost every location from the second film — and for the first hour or two, the nostalgia really hits. If all you want is to soak in that atmosphere, the game delivers on that front.

Unfortunately, the further you get, the less authentic it feels. The story goes off the rails, and the final boss fight is both underwhelming and ridiculously short. It’s not a sequel — it’s a fan-service rehash with nothing meaningful to add.

If you're here for nostalgia, you might get some enjoyment. But beyond that, there’s not much worth salvaging.

I bought Aliens: Colonial Marines Collection because I love Aliens and hate myself.

Within five minutes, I realized this wasn’t a video game — it was a social experiment to see how far human patience can stretch before snapping like a wet pool noodle. The AI is so bad, I saw a Xenomorph get stuck on a doorframe and try to moonwalk out of it. It failed. Then it died. From shame, I assume.

This game somehow makes a terrifying, acid-blooded alien species about as scary as a sock puppet with stage fright.

The story? It reads like fanfiction written during a NyQuil overdose. Characters you love show up just long enough to ruin your memories of them. One guy delivers dialogue like he’s trying to win an award for “Most Dramatic Use of the Word ‘Oorah’.”

Let’s talk about the bugs. Not the Xeno kind. The game-breaking, immersion-destroying, “why is this marine T-posing into space?” kind. There’s a typo in the AI code (no, really) that broke the alien behavior. A single typo. I paid $29.99 to be chased by confused Roombas in latex.

The “Collection” part is extra insulting — it’s like someone found a flaming dumpster, added more trash to it, and called it a gift basket.

The only fear I felt was realizing I couldn’t refund it after two hours of trying to find the fun. Spoiler: It was never there.

Final Rating: 2 Facehuggers out of 10
One for the soundtrack, one for the meme potential.
Rest is a crime against Ridley Scott and basic game design.

Old game at this point and the servers are shut down but the campaign is so much fun and you can still do LAN games, very fun game, super nostalgic 10\10

Wasn't a huge fan even with the big mods everyone recommends and still ran into many technical frustrations. I wouldn't.

Sad to give it a thumbs down.

It's a neat retro game. Feels like Halo and Red Faction Guerilla (without the geomod).
If the price wasn't 30€ I'd say grab it. At <5€ it'll be fine if you're looking for a Halo-like a game. lol
Graphics is actually quite good, especially for it's age. The 4090 runs at ~600Mhz @ <30% load, it's ridiculous.

The gameplay is fun and they put quite some effort into everythig. It's just...old and **too expensive** (29,99€) .

I like the replayability of the game, I know some have not like the dialogue but I found it entertaining. I'm a fan of the second Aliens movie so this is a nice escape.

Don't care what anyone says this was an amazing game. What needs to happen is another aliens game like it but with full native VR support and 5 player coop. But avoid making the aliens bullet sponges like in rogue incursion. Just out more of them.

Just don't. Don't even think about buying this absolute steaming pile of garbage. Its basically a mobile game with sub-par graphics (even for 2012) and a laughably bad story.

power loader more like powering off my pc because of the horrendous fight, recently bought this after all these years, mainly cause I wanted to play the mp as a Xenomorph and get feeling of the good ole if horribly unbalanced mp of AvP 2010, no matches to find so far, I like the different morphs of the Xenos in this game and the ai is.....ok on hardened except for the powerloader fight almost made me just drop the game altogether and go play dark descent, the camera controls are bad, dialog ok hud takes some getting used too weapon sounds are okay havent beaten the game yet but pretty sure if things keep on like that power loader section I'll be begging to die via chestburster, I hope one day we will get a continuation of AvP 2010's story with the multiplayer returning and be balanced, so far on the media side of both series we have gotten actual good stuff so far....the future remains uncertain but what I would give to play as a Xeno or Yautja again.

i remmber playing this still the best days og days brings back soo manny good times

Honestly got overhated, it's not an amazing Alien game by any means, but it's not satan's spawn like people were saying it was way back. Obviously it's way better if you fix the typo in the code, and console players got shafted on that, aaaand you'd think there would have been a patch for that at some point, but eh.

If you get it on a discount of 80-90%. You can play it with TemplarGFX's ACM Overhaul if you have nothing better to do. Otherwise it was not an enjoyable experience for me.

AvP 2, a game from 2007 and 5 years older played better than this. The story wasn't terrible, but the game visuals were not up to par for the time. Gameplay was atrocious (the music was in fitting with the movies as was the sound at least). I would have killed Xenomorphs more easily by throwing bricks at them.

Fireteam Elite and AvP 2 and 3 would be a vastly better choice for the Marine vs Alien experience.

I enjoyed playing this game and it did create tense situations at times. The story line is a bit convoluted but I would recommend it to fans of the movie "Aliens" as there is a lot of references to that film. Getting actors from that movie to do voice overs was also cool but the dialogue was a bit "Hammy". I also enjoyed the sounds created by the weapons which again reflected the movie weapons especially the iconic pulse rifle. I thought the game captured the creepy movement of the Xeno's well including the wall/ceiling climbing and leap attacks and overall dark visuals. The Xeno's would have become predictable if not for the inclusion of "Spitters" and the notorious "Lurkers" who don't appear on your motion tracker until they're about to slash you. I hate those b@sterd Lurkers and nothing in the game feels more satisfying than picking up the smart gun and laying waste to a horde of Xenos after being sneak attacked. I would have liked more control over the weapons choice during the campaign as some of the weapons you use in the training simulator can only be played in multiplayer. I still give it 3.5/5 stars and I did buy it on sale. Good Hunting.

It could be worse

Honestly the game is not bad - it works 'OK'.

As I picked it up for £5, I am close to recommending it; particularly if you like alien a lot and play with friends ; In which case, you may be interested in it .

But I would NOT RECOMMEND it by virtue that the campaign and the creative product in general is totally underwhelming and missable. How can they get that wrong with an IP as big as 'Alien'?

However I probably wont play it again, and am only encouraged to do so in order to get my facts right in this review. I did not play some of the other game modes.

Some other reviewers have said some of the other game modes are worth playing, and multiplayer was interesting.

What's so Bad?

Problem is, the game really lacks on every level for me, which includes all of the following in it's design:

Story:

-Story/Plot is weak IMO
-its got 'jar-head syndrome'- yea sure its marines... but...
-trash ending

Weapons

-weapons upgrade system adds nothing
-'Gun-Play' is not good
-the weapon wheel ruins anything gained from the weapon improvements system: totally pointless

Other creative stuff

-Level design is not very good. felt like the tunnel of corridors from the Callisto Protocol, you just go from a to b and the level just changes casually. Some areas looked the same – barre a couple decent missions.
-I'm not fond of this type of music

Performance

-I don't think it looked very good; even for when it came out.
-poor optimisation, I got fps drops often on low settings.

you can never get the damn thing to play, tried so many fixes, nothing!

This game is still pretty bad. Guns sound bad. Voice acting is bad. Audio mixing is bad. Gameplay feels bad. ALl in all, it's just not a good game. 3/10.

still buggy even in 2025 xD. Also boring. Alien Isolation better.

It might be an old game but I'm still a fan of this game. If you ever want to play together? Hit me up. I'm Vagabond_19842

I remember playing his game as a kid and i never thought to check if it was on PC but now hat i have found it and played a bit of it again it just brings back so many good memories as a kid. this game is still great and he quality and graphics are still very good, definitely recommend.

Step 1: Buy the game on 90% discount so that Randy doesn't get rewarded for his BS.
Step 2: Get TemplarGFX's Aliens Colonial Marines Overhaul (ACMO) mod and consider rewarding him for his amazing work.
Step 3: Enjoy a vastly improved game!

Even with the mod this game is complete trash it's not even worth on sale under $5. The teammate AI is so trash it breaks between every checkpoint they don't help you at all and the game is frustratingly difficult even on the lowest difficulty because the teammate at AI is so freaking broken and trash.

If you are a fan of xenomorph Alien lore and universe, than you got to get it. I enjoy it and am very happy with my purchase. this game gets to much hate.

i have played this game on and off since 2013, honestly its not a bad game. it gets too much hate for what it is. if you are a fan of the alien universe, buy this game. you wont regret it. yes there is some bugs and glitches but you don't really encounter them to a point where the game is unplayable like the media and reviewers make out. that typo in the code isn't that big of a deal. yes you can change it and it makes the game play more fluid but you really don't need to. however the aliens AI is questionable at some times. you can stand on a table and they don't know how to track you as you're not stood on the floor. but it really isn't that bad. its a great action arcade game that stays true to the franchise. lots of references and nods to the original movies along with a bunch of great fan service, from the guns all the way to the original voice actor to bishop. most the campaign is pretty action packed but there's a few levels that are pretty freaky (the raven) it includes a good mix of that horror setting. the difficulty is also really fun to play with. you can test your skills with the ultimate bad-ass difficulty which is a real challenge to even get 20 mins into a mission without dying. it generally feels like you're a marine with bare bones weapons trying to survive. the multiplayer is however dead which is sad. but there is still a true and committed fan base to this game is you will always find a bunch of people to play with in the groups. there's a bunch of game modes that are fun, all the way from TDM to a survival wave game. all in all, its a great game that continues the story from Aliens. its fun and also freaky. if you choose to buy this game, get it on sale along with the status interrupted DLC. if you love the franchise as much as i do, you wont regret it. get some marines, oorah to ashes.

Don't trust Volt, this game sucks.

one of the worst games ive ever played

Great game to play co-op. Especially when you fix the spelling mistake in the game engine, the game becomes a solid 6/10.

I only played an hour so far but already worth the price of admission. i bought it on sale for $6 usd. Plays great, looks very atmospheric, and has the same actors from the movies. Takes place between aliens and alien 3. If u like the franchise get it on sale.

This is a good game, definitely puts you in the action of a marine fighting aliens, however lol yeah there will be many times, you will yell I SHOT YOU DUMBASS WHY AM I DEAD Lol regardless it is a good game just some things could have been adjusted to make it better. The graphics don’t necessary turn me away as they aren’t really that bad. Could have been better though I agree.

Search online for "classremapping tether fix for Aliens Colonial Marines"
There's a typo in the game engine ini file, the word "tether" is spelled wrong.

This one typo broke the AI's pathfinding.
If you fix the typo, the game goes from being a 4/10 to a 9/10.
It goes from being laughable to one of the best Alien FPS I've played.

crazy how a single letter typo caused a game to get terrible reviews for like a decade.

I very much enjoyed this game for all its protential. Though there is tons of bugs or problems that should be fixed, it is a great game made in 2012. The ending did feel rush but the game was cheap. To people who said that this game was terrible, have you played the game on ultimate badass with a friend? I heavily recommend this game to people who have friends and love co-ops. :3

I recommend this game if you enjoy the Alien games and movies like I do. Yes there issues with the game, but I simply ignore them, goof at them or laugh and move on with it. Not really a big deal. No game is 100% perfect. If there is one, find one and send me the link. Anyway. Not a perfect game, but I would give it a solid 10/10. I'm not one of them dweebs that trash on a game unless it totally deserves it. This is not an 8/10, or the pesky 9/10. It's a 10/10.

WEEE HAAAA!!! ALIENS SHIZZZALLL!!!

Is not the best looking game, even for 2013 the graphics are not great. But, overall is OK.

I wish a big goth xenomorph would crush me with their big thighs!!!!!!!

If Gearbox didn't make this game or actually put love into like how Rebellion did for their Alien vs Predator remake, I genuinely think this game woulda crushed back in 2013. I can see why everyone, myself included, were disappointed when this game released. But nowadays when you and some friends can get the game for $5 and play it CO-OP I don't think it's that bad. Sure the story sucks, the graphics are below par, and the sound design doesn't always work but there are mods for this game that patches a lot of these bugs/problems to make the game more authentic. I did have to remove the mods because it kept crashing my game for some reason, I probably needed to download an updated driver for it or something.

Not a bad game. I wish there was more people playing the MP portion but the single player is ok.

Honestly, I couldn't recommend this game to anybody. Where do I start? The story itself takes place between Aliens and Alien 3 from what I could make out of it. Thats the thing "make out of it". Its a confusing mess and makes me glad that they never made this into a movie. The characters are like robots trying to figure out what emotions are for the first time. The dialogue is just as bad and with the emotionless voice acting It becomes funny at times. Some things that happen in the campaign are suppose to make you feel something, but sadly it falls flat. For example when one of the marines, Bella, has a chest chestburster and you think you're about to find a way to extract it. She ends up dying anyways in a scene that kills any sympathy towards her. With what it looks like your're suppose care. To add to that, the marines won't stop talking about leaving no marine behind constantly. Got to the point where that phrase loses all meaning. Causing your character, Winter, to just make way for a grant plot that falls into a void. I think the worse character in my opinion is Hicks himself. I was pretty excited for the original actor from aliens to voice himself. I don't know if he cared when delivering his lines or the fact that he didn't know what to do with the terrible dialogue. I was glad his character did return though. Just sad that his character in this is absurd. The DLC on the other hand is interesting, but not much better. I did love the beginning of the DLC. Where you're a woman trying to find your parents while having a chestburster inside you. Even though that section is short; it was believable when she does find her parents and they're dead. I also did like stone with the little screen time he had. Throwing in the synthetic version of Michael Weyland. He was pretty good with again little screen time.
With the story not being great I was hoping to just shoot Xenomorphs with the pulse rifle. Yet its really bad here. To begin, the weapon sway with all the guns is too much and you'll constantly miss you're shots hitting a single enemy including humans. I found that hip fire was much better than aiming down the sights for accuracy. When it should be the other way around. The attachments are really pointless and the reflex scopes are sometimes worst than iron sights some how. To be the most accurate you have to quickly press aim and shoot at the same time. Reason being that you snap to targets pretty easy, but not all the time. As far as the Xenomorphs, they run straight towards you sometimes ignoring your teammates. This for me is fine but had been better in other alien games or AVP games. Sometimes they do just attack out of nowhere in a cheap way. I get that these are creatures that have sporadic movements, but in AVP 2010 it felt like it was still fair. Where here its just a cheap death for no reason. Speaking of AVP 2010. It looks like to me that they tried to copy the rock, paper, scissors melee system from that game and failed to replicate. AVP 2010 had heavy attacks, light attacks, and a block that would balance out. Here the system is one button that doesn't always work. Sometimes Winter will just knocks the Xenomorph back and other times he just shoots with his pistol point blank. Combine that with the sporadic movements; it doesn't work. Another feature with this system is the knock down from the Xenomorphs. When knocked down it takes forever to get back up. Now the human enemies. They look like CSGO terrorists copy and pasted into this game. Which is fine until you got shot through cover. Yes shot through cover. The hit boxes are pretty big. Sometimes you will take damage from a bullet even if you're behind a crate that covers beyond your head. Add the other fact that they can shoot you all the way across the room with even a shotgun. Its challenging, but not in a good way. That goes the same for the boss battles. They are by far the worst parts in the game. Enemies that can take a ton of damage and kill you quickly even when you take damage already quickly. You will die a lot. Weather it be humans with smart guns or rocket launchers to a Xenomorph that charges right through and hits you.
I will admit there was some enjoyment here. Like I said I loved the beginning of the DLC because you start off with no weapons and have to sneak around. In the campaign there was this one level that you don't have you're weapons either. Having to sneak around these Xenomorphs that are only attracted to sound and will explode if you make to much. One part in the level for all of a minute a regular Xenomorph chases you down a hall way. Reminding me of Alien Isolation. Both the campaign and DLC start out strong with the combat until the further you get in either. They start throwing more and more along with all the other bad things to make it seem more challenging. I know that this game got a bad reputation over a decade ago when it first came out. I figured that it couldn't be that bad. I will admit I was wrong and did not enjoy this game at all. There are some other games that you can get for $5 on a sale.

Aliens: Colonial Marines trips and stumbles its way into a fun multiplayer mode, however, there’s a feeling this was an accident more than anything else.

My willingness to defend Aliens: Colonial Marines goes only so far. I generally don’t look for hills to die on, and while I love the fact Randy Pitchford burned up to $15M of his own money on the game, I still had to endure the final product. To put it simply: this game is awful, and I need to address the elephant in the room before I go further.

Colonial Marines lacks soul, direction and, strangely for the budget, production values. The game’s asset quality is downright horrendous; character models, weapons, turrets, vehicles and textures look like a 360 launch title. Your teammates look long-since dead inside, and the game’s art direction can be summed up with “it’s blue, it’s sci-fi, and it’s running on Unreal Engine 3”. The lighting does what it can to salvage the game’s look, hiding just how blurry the textures are, but this feels like damage control. Colonial Marines’ ultimate aspiration is to remind you a bit of the movies, but to say they look similar is perhaps a step too far.

The audio sounds like it’s been taped directly from dying VHS copies of the films. The assault rifle, for instance, has virtually zero bass and sounds like it’s taken from a recording surely no greater than 64kb/s. This is accentuated by the fact that Xenomorphs sponge so many bullets, giving an altogether unsatisfying feeling in combat. The player character, the eponymous Colonial Marine can take a fair beating too, so it’s not like the Xenos feel like unstoppable creatures to fear either.

It makes it all the more strange that Aliens: Colonial Marines multiplayer is actually really fun. It still suffers from the problems in the single player - walls are merely a suggestion, for instance, and you will repeatedly clip through the environment. However, the high time-to-kill provides a good bit of balance between both human and alien factions. The campaign is, simply put, a corridor shooter. Yet, the ‘Escape’ game mode somehow flips this into the game’s greatest strength.

The mode has a group of four marines slowly etch through a series of linear rooms to the finish line, completing small objectives to open up the next space while being hunted by the aliens. One death as a marine, and you’re out for the game. Meanwhile, the Xenomorphs have the opportunity of unlimited respawns. It’s tense, fun, and while teamwork is required, the levels are so small that simply timing your attack alongside a non-verbal teammate is enough to make decent innings. The game mode brings the intensity of Left 4 Dead, but removes all the elements that insist on removing control from the player in Valve’s title.

The individualist inside me wants to give Colonial Marines a positive review, especially since I dumped 30 hours into this fantastic game mode. But, sadly, the game is virtually dead. I’ve seen a few Discord groups set up to keep the multiplayer alive, but I’m not sure how confident newcomers would feel attending these, nor how frequently they meet.

Aliens: Colonial Marines is full of glitches, plays like a PS2 movie tie-in and under-delivers on absolutely everything. Still, there goes the best damn multiplayer mode an Alien game ever had.

It's not the worst game of all time but it sure is dissapointing. Still, if you are a fan of Aliens be sure to give it a go as it's not without its momements and you can play it with friends. Serves as a great reminder to never pre-order anything as the E3 demo looked much, much better.

A very generous 6/10 from a life-long Aliens fan, 3 or 4 for anyone else.

The enemy AI is a joke, but a very funny joke. It's likely you've already guessed the full story line too, but I have to say, it's incredibly fun to play. Multiplayer is dead, so it's only campaign and co-op, still worth the price though, just have fun.

Wasted opportunity, the company did not understand what made Alien/Aliens movies so great and thought that if the just slap a half-baked shooter it will stick.
Yeah, I enjoy my Alien game with shooting synths and almost no horror accents - thanks for setting my straight Gearbox.

Well at least I had some laughs with a colleague when we cooped the campaign althiough definetly not in a way the developers would like to.

It’s mostly a good game… mostly.

I would recommend this to any fans of the Aliens franchise, but buy it on sale.
The game can have more bugs than the xenomorphs in the game. I know the AI of the aliens can be poor and the squad AI is bad, not really helpful at all, blocking walking and can be a hindrance. Not shooting anything etc

All this being said, if the AI of the Aliens were true to how they behave in films or novels then the game would be way too hard. If the squad AI was better then it would make the player feel like a 5th wheel. If the aliens actually had the acid for blood then combat in the game, corrosion to platforms, floor, walls, people etc then the game would play out very differently.

The game is fun to play even with all the flaws, the sound of the pulse rifles and the screams of the aliens is very well done. The story was good and interesting but left a lot of whys and hows.

(Spoiler/rant ahead)

For example, why the Sulaco is back over LV426? how the aliens got on board? How did the eggs get on board? why are they experimenting on them? How did Hadleys Hope survive the reactor blast that would have destroyed an area the size of Nebraska?

While it was great walking around the colony, it was very much relatively intact, contrary to the films premise.

A better story would have been one involving the original ship from both alien and aliens, it would have survived the reactor blast, the eggs on board would be viable. Make a game out of that, hell, make a movie of that and then a game.

All rants aside, flaws, plot holes, bugs, glitches etc etc it’s still a game with xenomophs in and fun to play.

you play as a w*man this makes it one of the worst games ive have ever played

Great game. I've been playing the Alien and AvP games since AvP II in 2001. They really did a good job with this game.

killin and grillin

Good on PC. If you use the mouse and keyboard the movement is smooth. Bugs have mostly been worked out. Graphics are a bit dated but it is an older game. I never tried the multiplayer.

end mission many long good alien + boss pretty hard better
