Pre-ordered this game for $45 because I like the Alien franchise and loved AvP. I wanted to play this game with my friends. That didn't turn out so well. After playing the game, I told my friends not to buy it. Not for the full price at least.

Now Sega is releasing another game from the Aliens franchise. I think this was a bad move on their part. Many people are still upset about Alien: CM fiasco and releasing another Aliens game so soon might open up some wounds. I can't see them selling this game well until some trustworthy reviewers can recommend it.

Some people say that this is made by another developer, but Gearbox is not a bad developer. Although a large part of the game was outsourced. They did make Borderlands games which are some of the best co-op games out there right now. As a publisher, Sega is responsible for making sure the quality of the game they are selling is up to standards.

Maybe Sega is confident about this game so they are releasing it in order to gain back trust. Apparently it has been in production since before ACM was released. If it turns out to be a hit, good for them. But I wanted to advice people to think about this if you are thinking of pre-ordering it.

Also, I wouldn't really trust their gameplay videos if I were you.

Now back to this game, it seems to have gotten massive update (around 4GB last I heard) so maybe they fixed the game up (E: according to them, it's not enough). So whoever wins this, hope you enjoy it. Good luck to all of you.

I would like to hear from you what you think. Do you think it was the right thing to do to release this game so soon after ACM?

Edit: A bonus video.
