Every Aliens fan should play this!! SPOILERS

Picked it up used a few days back and after beating it I gotta say its nowhere near as bad as people have said. The music, gun sounds, Hicks, Bishop and, the overall atmosphere make this one of the best Aliens games I've ever played. Sure, it could have been better. The power loader vs alien part was lame. Where was that little torch on it? Anyways, if you're a fan of the movie pick this one up if you can get it cheap enough. DO NOT PAY FULL PRICE!! It was a hell of a lot of fun fighting along side Hicks and seeing Bishop again. Plus the smartgun was as cool as you could imagine.

Agreed knowwhere near as bad as it was made out to be, it sure has its issues but tbh It didnt stop me enjoying the game, loved the retcon of hicks and the it hit all the right beats as a tribute to aliens, just wish it had more of a polish to it in terms of a.i enemys and some glitching etc but for the price (i payed £3) its well worth it, also check out the dlc I found it enjoyable :)

I agree us an enjoyable game. Yes not very polished but done graphics look good while others not do good. I have yet to play the dlc. Crazy when the dlc costs £7.99 and I paid £4.99 for the game lol

Agreed, a couple bugs but nothing game breaking. and the story and gameplay made up for it. I suspect a lot of the issues were fixed in patches though as some of the complaints I saw (bad AI, Aliens running towards you in orderly straight lines) just weren't in it and it was an enjoyable playthrough for me.end boss fight was a bit of a wtf moment, but I just considered it a tack on event considering the fights leading up to the end were pretty intense anyways.All in all a good entry for fans of the franchise.Replaying it now to finish collections and will probably get the dlc.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Thanks to Batman vs. Superman, the "S" on Supermeh's chest now stands for Sidekick
