its a fully interactive 3d point and click.
there are weapons, but it becomes a moot point when there is only 1 alien.
all the successful aliens game HAVE ALWAYS had multiplayer. this one does not. not a good business move, as millions will just torrent it once they find out there is no real reason to buy the game for multiplayer. this is how the world is today. millions in sales will be lost.
That's getting absurdly reductive. By that logic all shooters are fully-interactive 3D point and click, because you point a reticule toward an enemy and click a mouse button to fire.
It's not at all moot if the weapons are useful in prolonging your survival to the next encounter. Whether the alien dies as a result is the moot point. It has also basically be stated that there are threats beyond the alien - human and perhaps andriod.
Finally, a good game is a good game. There's no point shoe-horning a multiplayer mode into a a title that just doesn't lend itself to one. Aliens: Colonial Marines and the last AVP both had multiplayer modes that were dead within a few months of release. That kind of fickle market doesn't guarantee longevity, even if it temporarily boosts early sales.
Come on man, don't feed the troll. Besides, the MP modes were pretty fun for a while for both titles. I can still get into full 5v5 games so I wouldn't call either "dead." Although I play on 360 so that might be why I still find players.

3) If the enemy AI performs as promised, no two playthroughs will be the same.
The 4 times I died, each subsequent playthrough was different.
Thank you Hicks. That's what I was hoping to read. Most games work on purely linear story lines, same enemies come out of the same area, etc. With a bit of randomness and unpredictability A:I will be an Alien game worthy of the time spent in it and perhaps good enough for multiple playthroughs just for the sheer thrill and not just Achievement hunting.
