Aliens:Colonial Marines - FLOP! 4.5/10 - Gamespot, 4.5/10 IGN UK, 3/10 Eurogamer

Surprisingly ... Looks good

ALready pre-ordered.

They had me at "pulse rifle".

Yeah Im looking farwards to it :) Sort of a guilty pleasure of mine. I think the game teeters on A to AA. Depending greatly on if the reviewers were Aliens fans.

I am certain I will like it more, then someone who did not enjoy the Alien movies. But as of now, I consider the game around a 7, and the MP will likely drag down the overall score, since while MP and CO-OP seemed fairly decent, MP just looked bad.

I already own the thing on steam. It will get a 7/10 score if you ask me.XenoLair

Why that score? Details!!!! :P

After watching that stream I'm even more excited for the game. I don't care what this crappy site gives ACM, I already know I'm gonna enjoy it since it  looks better than Aliens 3. ACM is gonna have so many Aliens easter eggs I'm gonna have to have 911 on speed dial for all my nerdgasms playing through that game.

One of the DLCs will be "Hunt Mode" which is basically a horde mode vs AI.

BTW a season pass ranges from $15 to $20 and includes 4 DLC packs. Here's the latest trailer for the game, it's actually an extended version of "Contact" trailer:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8ss6FKBi0Q&feature=player_embedded The trailer is amazing! "Sega is set to begin a TV advertising campaign for Aliens: Colonial Marines from Uber and Axis animation soon, creators of the previously released cinematic CG Contact Trailer. The campaign will run from February 8th."

I really really really hope this game turns out great.

The version in the vidoe looks like a console version. I imagine the PC version will look much better.

I will gladly purchase this game if it scores reasonably well.  Hopefully it is scary.  I remember playing AVP (original), AVP2 and was genuinely scared playing it.

Sadly PS3, would have gotten it for 360 if I had a working 360.

From the looks of it, the graphics are pretty bad.  AVP 2010 has better graphics.  

There's some bad buzz going around the Twitter accounts of a few well respected journalists regarding this game. Jim Sterling said something along the lines of "If you're on the fence, don't get it."

This game was pretty cool seeing during E3 time no sure about it now. I say it will be AA.

I can see this is garbage a mile a way. It will get the lemmings filled with nostalgia though...

The gamma was way up, it should be much darker, in my personal opinion. I'm afraid I didn't see anything too exciting.musicalmac

I can see it getting an 8

Why are most people so down on it? Personally I think it looks incredible.Xaero_Gravity

My hype died considerably when i actually started to look at gameplay vidoes and trailers.  I am a huge Aliens fan, but unfortunately this is shaping up to be another mediocre installment.  6.5/7.0

People are too picky now and days, honestly it looks like a 7.5 or at most 8 game, which is still good in my books. As a hardcore Aliens fan (grew up on the movie,comics and action figures) I'm pretty excited for the game after watching the 2 hour stream from IGN, knowing GS though they'll score the game with a 5 or something cause it doesn't have CoD in it's name.

I'm watching a walkthrough of it on youtube right now. This sh*t will be lucky to score a 7.0.

The only thing I probably wish they added is darker and creepier environments like in AVP2.

What a great game.  

I was on gaf these days and read that [spoiler] you fight human mercenaries later on, yelling "we gonna get paid tonight" [/spoiler] :(

My hype went down by 50% now... 

edit. The game was leaked

If the single player is a solid 7/10+ I will pick it up.

So just to say I got the game and it's actually fun, graphics are eh but gameplay is quite fun, your teammates are pretty lively

It looks depressingly bad.

6.0, I'm guessing.

looks like a really bad version of natural selection 2 with l4d elements mixed in

I have to say the upgrading while playing is great, expecially since it counts campaign

For me personally, AAA, what I'm hoping for here, AA, what I'm expecting here, A.

I love both Alien and Aliens. I have watched Aliens so many times. On of my favorite action movies and Sci-Fi movies. So quotable and the sounds are great. The sounds and music alone will make this game a AAA title for me.
