Aliens: Colonial Marines

 

Five minutes into Aliens: Colonial Marines the game makes a mistake from which it cannot recover, a mistake so fatal that you may as well eject the disc, toss it in the bin and forget that it ever existed. Let me tell you about it.

Building a game around James Cameron’s 1986 sci-fi classic should be the recipe for a tense, action-packed shooter bursting with atmosphere and scares. Instead we get one of the biggest disappointments in recent years. Aliens: Colonial Marines is a...

Developer Gearbox's Alien FPS will make you scream for all the wrong reasons.

About an hour into Aliens: Colonial Marines, it's hard to find a reason to keep playing. At least that's exactly how I felt during my solo campaign run. Xenomorphs -- the creepy, black-suited extraterrestrials from the Hollywood films -- often slipped...

For years, full-fledged online shooter modes were confined to big budget franchises like Call of Duty, Battlefield, and Halo. More recently, we’ve seen the release of downloadable offerings in the genre. Gotham City Impostors, Counter-Strike:...

Aliens: Colonial Marines is yet another black eye on a franchise that has already taken a heavy beating.

Aliens: Colonial Marines Review

 

Aliens: Colonial Marines has been some six years in the making. Is this more Borderlands from Gearbox, or more Duke Nukem Forever?

Aliens: Colonial Marines" is a crushing disappointment, but it isn’t the absolute travesty that the media have made it out to be. I’m not sure if this is as a result of the week one patch, but I didn’t experience any of the bugs or glitches that seem...

With all the flaws in Colonial Marines it's easy to discard it as a failure, but for all its glitches, poor visuals and less-than-pristine controls, there is still fun to be had in this shoot-by-the-numbers sci-fi title...

It’s not game over for the Alien franchise; Love seeing the ammo counter run down on the pulse rifle; Fun crawling around as an alien

The visuals and repetitive environments; The too-much-of-a-reach story twist; Shooting down iron-sights; NPCs don’t die unless it’s scripted; In the future Marines still say ‘copaceticâ

In space, no-one can hear you scream. But in the lounge... let's just say you might get a few complaints.

But it appears that the elongated, ‘stop-start’ development ultimately resulted in an inconsistent and disappointing final result. It’s a double-miss for Gearbox after the awful Duke Nukem Forever. Aliens: Colonial Marines might be best jettisoned into...
