I've finally downgraded the settings enough to play it on my machine.
Two positives - the music - highly derivative and completely appropriate - and it's always fun to shoot Aliens (which goes for any Alien game).
Every other aspect is really laughable. The story, the dialogue, the lack of attention to detail both visually and in terms of internal continuity (eg. sentry gun with 10 rounds left and Winter says 'every last bullet is gone'; but then another with infinite ammo magically appears a few minutes later. Or Bella constantly making references to saving one bullet for mercy killings - then that dickhead O'Neal saving it for the burster. Or Reid being rescued and saying "I... I almost died"
but all like "We're not going after O'Neal", but then all like "I wanna go with them and help Bella".)
I'm not usually one to complain about stories in video games, because often they're just excuses for the shooting to start - but if you're going to do it, at least make some sort of effort. Not sure there's been a worse story in Alien related media. That includes Deadliest Of The Species.
And why do I want a suppressor on my pulse rifle to make it not sound like a pulse rifle?
