This game is mostly crap ... mostly.

[alanwu1233]

IGN scored AVP 7/10 not 8.5 .

[SPECIAL FORCES]

Lets all be honest...none really believed it will take a score that low.
I read Gamespot mostly and i trust it.Well i never thought it will get 4.5    when AvP2010 took 5.5.
I will buy it just out of nostalgia and i believe i will enjoy it but surely i hoped for a better game.

LOL even John Romero's Daikatana got more..and i thought This was bad.

Nosferatu: The Wrath of Malachi
Thats a good example on how they could make the game scary
Really low budget game,mediocre graphics,only a few monsters but the atmosphere is amazing and very intense/scary.

I never would have thought that this game could be worse than AVP2010, but it is so much so. I hope Gearbox goes out of business because of this.

ALL  NEGATIVE.

With the exception of EGM that gave it a freaking 9.

They must have gotten paid under the table, don't know why they would even give it a 9 judging by all we've seen.

Yeah, I agree. They are the ONLY place to give it a score that high, and at the time of this writing, they have Aliens ads all over their site.

PC World, 1 out of 5, GTFO.

I won't post my full SP review until I finish the campaign. But I will say I played almost 6 hours on hardened mode and I am still not even done. So anyone who claims they beat it in 5-6 hours is either lying or played on pussy mode. I've spent time looking for the dog tags, audio logs, and the lost marine weapons. By the time I beat all of SP I should be around 8ish hours logged. Not too shabby.

LOLpcworld.

Still not nearly enough. Dead space 3 is around 15-20 hours. SP is a shitfest, MP can be enjoyed though

Eurogamer  3/10  http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2013-02-12-aliens-colonial-marines-review

Do i even want to open my post box tonight when returning home from a hard days work.  Also hard to believe they want us to pay an additional £ for the DLC which may be the best aspect of this game.

Still can't quite believe how bad it's turned out to be. What were Gearbox thinking? Did they really think no one would notice? And that trying to stop any reviews from appearing would mean everyone would still buy the game?

[QUAGMIRE83]

I can't believe the low reviews this game is getting mine came 2 days early and I love it especially the multiplayer and the customisation. Single player is always an after thought for me on any game and this is where most of the negative comments are coming from but I have done the first level and it seemed ok and the fact it's got 4 player co-op is even better. I will be playing and loving this game for a long time to come and also buying the season pass

[Darkness]

Yeah, I find it surprising Sega would even put out a game in this unfinished state. It does depress me reading these reviews. Gearbox had the chance to fix all the things that we didn't like about AvP and instead have made it a lot worse.

[Snowdog]

Gonna install it immediately when i get home. I'll experience the game myself. Maybe I'll love it, maybe I won't but I won't let critics decide it for me. And even if I don't love it. At least I've got a cool new powerloader figure

THANK YOU. It really suprises me to see how many people here are swayed so easily by what critics say.

Yeah -_- Also it has just been released. They will release patches and stuff. So I see absolutely no need to panic right now. Can't wait to revisit LV-426.

Most of the people that have been negative about the game (and agree with the critics now that the review embargo has lifted) watched people play the game days ago since the console versions broke street date. No one is "easily swayed by critics" I watched people walk around and fight against horrible AI and watched the horrible story unfold and listened to the bad voice acting.

I got it about 1am last night from Asda - first thoughts were that the aliens are SHOCKING to control, which they are!

I enjoy playing as the marine but the game is ridiculously buggy! I saw a guy online in the elevator next to me fall staright threough the floor and dissappear (then came up that he had been killed). The aliens get stuck all over the place, some walls an Alien can climb on - others you can't - for no apparent reason!

I will always keep this game and will no doubt enjoy it but I can see realisticly it's pretty poor - especially when compared to tittles such as Halo 4 (which makes A:CM look pretty embaressing)


another dissapointment for this franchise
