Like many other film adaptations before it, the Alien series has not always been lucky in video games. Apart from two Aliens vs. Predator a little better than average (SPF ... and beat 'em all), it left little videogame memories away from the series have enjoyed the movies.
Always ready to meet such challenges, the Gearbox studio has been working since 2006 to develop a title meant stop the curse, Aliens Colonial Marines. Bad luck, delays in policy changes, the project dragged on, missing the way some important dates (such as 25 years of movie Aliens) and seeing even Duke Nukem Forever it out under his nose. All these events have not prevented the development of reaching its conclusion and the game out. But in what state?
RESURRECTION
An eye patch, hoarse voice, Corporal Hicks has not cum from a lucky charm. Just the time to send a distress message, and one of the few survivors of the expedition on LV-426 dark collect his emotions in his cryotube, buried away in the corridors of the Sulaco. Desperate, the SOS is not yet fallen into deaf ears and wake-up call for a squad of marines asleep on Sephora. Under the direction of Captain Cruz, they will address the Sulaco and try to discover the reasons for the carnage that seems to have taken place on the ship. But they are not the only ones who had the same idea and a surprise soldiers from the Weyland-Yutani, literally out of nowhere attack will precipitate our marine on the inhospitable surface of LV-426.
The opportunity for these revelers to explore the ruins of Hadley's Hope, and for fans of the license visit this mythical place, a colony certainly vaporized by the nuclear fire at the end of Aliens players but yet still functional in the game It will not be the only departure made by Aliens Colonial Marines with guns Alien, the game trying somehow to fit the shoehorn between the events of Aliens and Alien 3 without ever reaching back on its feet. Some shadows of the scenario (and the appearance of unexpected characters ...) and generally remain without explanation, evacuated a fabulous "but truce talk, save our Marines!" that will leave many fans wanting more - and most perplexing players. Not many scriptwriting to wait from Aliens Colonial Marines, so revelations, but often lame redevelopment of the universe. Yet it is on this point, and the exploration of mythical places that fans will have the biggest bone to pick.
INSTANT RIPLEY
Because a video game perspective, Aliens Colonial Marines is a complete debacle, such a lousy game that is still struggling to believe its release on the market. The first shock is visual: faded textures, modeling trowel characters and sets, lighting worthy of the darkest hours of the Polish FPS, the title has the trappings of a FPS of 2005 and the very low activities further strengthens this feeling with aliens flapping like sprites uncouth to our approach, and marine waddled like geese at least sprint. In short, it is far from the technical minimum expected for a game of this caliber.
Worse, the gameplay turns a confusing mediocrity. Still spend random precision almost all Gun, also present in much lower numbers (only half a dozen in the standard version), if not a great "realism" in the twenty-second century, this at least the merit of offset somewhat AI pathetic enemies. But the appalling pace of fighting and the absence of any feedback from the game when you touch or when you are affected, makes fighting a soporific softness. And this is unfortunate, since it is virtually the only occupation that we offer the solo campaign.
Aliens Colonial Marines - Screenshot For despite a rich and complex universe, and a license to match, Aliens Colonial Marines simply being a FPS basic, very basic even of those who played at the turn of the millennium with its level design of absolute poverty, ill pinned his scripts and trips rambling from one end to the other levels. Once, in an already legendary level of nullity, the game will attempt the challenge of environment favoring the infiltration approach - but for the rest of the campaign, it will be that deluge of fire, assaults Aliens greenfield and other bursts smartgun, incessant, deafening. As such, the anhedral never constitute a real threat, disabled by stroke animations and combat totally pick it up. A peak.
THIS TIME IT'S WAR
To recover from the poverty of the single player campaign, including a dozen missions will be finalized in 6-7 wee hours, the players will be motivated towards the coop, up to four playable on the same missions that alone, in split-screen or online. Not enough to make the title more exciting so far. Finally, four competitive game modes are included as standard, with classic deathmatch (Battle) or objectives (Extermination) Evasion a fashion reminiscent of Left 4 Dead and another called Survivor, in which the sea will ... survive. No surprise, the Navy is also mediocre gameplay multiplayer than solo, but still waiting for the aliens to turn alas, again (despite the ability to climb walls), sensations are worse and fun conspicuously absent.
