Just an update:
I have played the game the whole way through, and even played a small add on entitled crew expendable - it is fun and only a few dollars, but the add on doesnt offer a lengthy play time
my final conclusion on the game
It is fun, terrifying, excellently written, character development is right where it needs to be, story line is just to the point that it could pass off as a sequel film worthy of the "alien" name... and any fan of the series will tell you, we have seen some garbage infiltrate the series.
This game offered me a good 50 hours of play time, more than enough tense sweaty palmed moments, ergo - the level where part of the space station loses gravity and is spinning out of control with lots of windows with whirling space all around you is disorienting, and terrifying, youre in a small space with no gravity, alarms going nuts, at last sighting the alien was only in the next room, your disoriented, panicked... its intense.
Every time i thought the intensity of the game was such that this must surely be the last level of the game as it couldn't possibly get ANY worse, i would make it through, and the game would deliver worse in spades... there would be more still to endure. By the last few "missions" - I had stopped thinking "surely this is the end" and started thinking "I just need to survive this" LMAO
this game - i swear - the hits just keep on coming
I offer it a solid 95% rating, and I might be being a little hard on it there LOL
Its hands down the best Alien video game of the entire series... period
