Overused theme, f-bombs everywhere, testosterone fuelled mindless shooting...

Consider me a fan...

ars tells it like it is:

Aliens: Colonial Marines is bad. Not “so bad it's good,” not “uneven, but with bright spots,” not “good except for awful glitches.” If it had launched in its current state alongside Doom 3 in 2004, A:CM would've been laughed out of the room for not even surpassing id's graphics engine, enemy AI, acting, or missions...

read the rest if that aint enough

I like it, though I agree weapons selection is a bit limited. Traded my pulse rifle with Hicks' shotgun and still got the stupid shotgun... not a replacement M41A anywhere Cry

As expected, this game is pretty ******.

The long, long waiting time for a worthy successor to AVP2 continues...

This was very disappointing. A good friend of mine had been talking my ear off about this game for two years. He was so excited for it... he even offered to buy me a copy so we could play together (but I said I'd get it myself) and today I talked with him on the phone for about an hour about it. I thought he was going to cry. What a letdown. Really dishonest work from Gearbox. I hope SEGA gets sued.

I know. I haven't seen a thrashing like that since somebody stuck a banana in my pants and turned a monkey loose.

There's a good reason for it.

The demo they ran at E3 looks like it was a total lie, the game looks nothing like it....

I thought the demo scene where you install a sentry gun and repel a swarm of aliens with some marines was pretty awesome. Apparently it's not even in the final product Sad. Judging from let's play footage of the game it really doesn't look like the same game. The models are the same, but everything else looks like crap with horrible lighting. I'm so glad I didn't preorder it and can understand why people might feel like they were lied to by gearbox.

SUMMARY: Like most successful license-based games, Aliens: Colonial Marines is much more than a loving homage; it serves as one of the most robust story-driven co-op experiences to date. The concept definitely has room to grow, but as maiden voyages go, Colonial Marines is a clear winner. 9/10
Straight

I can only assume the giant A:CM ads running on the site had no influence on the review and are there just because they liked the game so damn much.

At least they got the spaceballs part right

You can't blame A:CM on the engine though! Unreal 3 is also used by Mass Effect 1, 2, &3, the Gears of War 1, 2, &3, and Borderlands 1 & 2 (and DUST 514).

Also: another funny A:CM review
