Biased

I have a somewhat biased opinion on this game, See for me, I'm all about the story, NOT necessarily the graphics, which btw, for the 360, are just great. The story, for me, was good too. And of course to have Michaele Biehn reprise his character added even more value. But again, I am an alien fan and I personally like not only this title but also AvP and to be the best is Alien isolation. The game play in this one is great, in fact, I'd say it has equal controls as CoD and there's no sloppiness in the control system. I have a sealed copy of this, Alien Isolation and AvP. I will play these again, which will make my count of games I replay about 5!!Read full review

What a cool game!

I don't know why it gets a bad rep, this game is pretty cool. I'd give it a full five stars except for two things: One, I'm 2nd player and all the pointers are given to the 1st player only so I miss out during action. Two, the terrible language. The game allows you to become one of the marines and, yes, you have to kill aliens while completing your missions. But there are rogue groups of marines you take on as well. So, about the time you start to feel this is becoming repetitious shooting either the aliens or the bad guy soldiers, it switches in the next chapter. You can choose your difficulty which helps while you learn controls. But as far as people who have reviewed this saying it's the same thing over and over... What were they playing? It has its own story line and the surroundings change with each scene. The objective of kill or be killed is the only thing here to be called repetitious but... duh.Read full review

WAR FIGHTER

This was a great game with new weapons. I also enjoyed headshot icons that would pop up red or white due accuracy, one shot one kill. There was a part as a sniper that was amazing due to the distance of the shot I had to make adjustments. This means the further away I actually had to shoot over soldiers head and drop bullet down to head shot!Read full review

Big win

I don't get all the poor reviews of this game. Of course it's for fans of the franchise and of course it's a first person shooter... There's only so much it can do. Anyways the game arrived in practically brand new condition and it arrived fast and I'm playing it now and loving it. Thank you very much.Read full review

Game play

It worked just fine on my xbox. Enjoyed it as an aliens fan. Was also very immersive with the story line. I wish the shooting mechanics were a bit more polished though but it was fine and fun.

To the person that sent me it, I really appreciate the bonus content that came with it. This game brings back memories.

Honestly it just bring snacks memories of my brother and I playing it, and the bonus content that came with it unannounced was just the cherry on top.

Aliens as a action shooter

It's a good classic game based off the 2nd movie and a good offline 2 player game but a a lot harder then I member in easy mode as well, but its a great game that never got a sequel.
