I'm lucky in that i never played the old one's, so this is like brand new to me.....I love this game, no, let me rephrase that. I f**kin luv this game. Finishing enemies with the alien or the predator never gets old, it's so beautifully visceral. The marine campaign is classic. The atmosphere is so very "Aliens" with the layouts of the levels and the ominous pinging sound of ur motion tracker. The way the aliens seem to come out of the walls, and cling to the shadows. The way the pred stalks u the entire game, toying with u at every turn. I thought it was really cool too that they made the hero a young black dude. That hardly ever happens in the sci-fi/horror genre. Tequila was hot, a little Vasquez mixed wit a little Michelle Rodriquez. The single player campaigns r engrossing, and the multi-player is loads of fun..........I luv that i have nothing bad to say about this game, but once again, the only other title from this franchise i've played is "Extinction" for the reg Xbox(which i loved too), so ya know. I really hope they still decide to to "Colonial Marines" even tho this game is really solid. This is a review of a true fan of the movie franchises, so with wut they put together for us i'm extremely grateful, and haven't gave it a rest since i got it a few dayz back.
