For those of you who know nothing about the story, its a bit like a cross between Aliens, Solaris (certain aspects of it) and Resident Evil.
Aliens because its set on a space ship in space and resident Evil because of the style of game play. But no more headshot kills, its now "strategic dismemberment" ie, you gotta cut off the limbs to kill them all, and cut off all their limbs. You'll see why.
The effort by EA games wasn't bad and i can see a film will probably be made. However, there is one problem in my opinion: if you think the camera angle in Resident Evil was bad sometimes, this one is worse. You are constantly seeing things over the protagonists shoulder and there never seems to be enough viewing area. Just when you think that you killed the last of them, something else gets you. The camera angle makes this game very frustrating but then scary as you can't see all the time. Kind of a "its behind you" thing. This game would have been top if it were a first person… more »

Just hope Colonial Marines (Aliens) can learn from this.......

Oozes quality and atmosphere right from the get go.

Graphically this game excels and is one of THE best out there. The characters are stunningly created. I can't find a polygon ngle on a single one of the characters and that included the humans which are tough todo as we know what to expect with the human form and we see issues very quickly.

The monsters are convincing and varied. All having sightly different attack methods and moves. They range from reasonably easy to tough and ugly.

I have read this game is similar to Resident Evil in ways and I think this is a fair comment. You go through collecting weapons, money and ammo from dead bodies like Resi. You have and inventory like Resi that you can increase in size. The are shops (smal machines) that you use to by equipment and power up. All very Resi Evilish.

But where this game really excels is in the combination of gamplay, graphics and sound. To really enjoy the game abd really get into it. Put some head… more »

Put some head phones on and play late at night with all he lights out. I guarentee if you do this the hairs of the back of your neck will stand up. It's an 18 for good reason and haven't allowed my 10 year old on it or let him watch me play.

If this is what you get by crossing Doom 3 with Resi Evil 4, then I want more.
