    Aliens: Fireteam Elite (finally) proves that a great game based on the Alien films is possible in the modern era. A solid story, amazing action, deep customization, and intense battles make this one of the best adaptations of the franchise to date.

    Aliens Fireteam Elite is the quality shooter that Aliens fans have been wishing for for decades now. The story may feel a little disconnected from the film that inspired it but the action is great, it gets the details right and we're going to be playing it over and over for a long time.

    A nice cooperative shooter with a great atmosphere and plenty of customization possibilities.Its only flaw is that its mechanics end up being quite repetitive, but if you get together with two friends you will have a great time killing aliens.

    Whilst Aliens: Fireteam Elite is lacking in some areas, and is not without its frustrations, it is a solid third-person survival shooter. The story won't pull you in, but the core gameplay is satisfying, fun, and addictive and that is what will ultimately keep you coming back. There is something here for fans of third-person shooters and Alien fans alike.

    Aliens: Fireteam Elite is a proposal that, in general terms, we have loved for its fidelity to the Alien movies and because it does not seek to be anything more than an action experience a la Left 4 Dead, already with built-in improvements that can be seen in Back 4 Blood, to kill aliens without stopping. However, it could have been much more and bring some variety to not always be the same. Still, if you are fans of the movie saga you can't let it escape.

    Aliens: Fireteam Elite is an online co-operative action title that exudes love for the franchise on which it is based, that doesn't aspire to revolutionise anything and that has, in its simplicity, its main virtues and defects. As accessible and satisfying as it is repetitive. A perfect videogame to enjoy in company. Immediate fun that will also delight fans of the second film installment of the franchise. A pity it doesn't take more risks and is so predictable in almost everything it does.

    Aliens: Fireteam Elite has an interesting premise: co-op shooter set in the Alien universe where players must push their abilities, refine their build, and face a continuous onslaught of enemies. In reality, though, it’s a bug-filled slog that proves to be a one-trick pony.

The different classes and weapons can provide a lot of fun and variety, either alone or in a team. The storyline also pleases and drives you through the individual missions. Also, the possibility to always find or obtain new elements and items is already plenty addictive. Here's hoping that the developer's support continues and new content is always coming. Those who would like to experience a great shooter alone or with friends should definitely take a closer look at "Aliens: Fireteam Elite". Buyers of the PS4 and Xbox One versions will also get a free update for the new consoles.… Expand

Tiene 4 campañas de 3 misiones por cada una y con un máximo de 3 jugadores, una vez lo completas te dan el modo Horda que es sobrevivir cantidades enormes de oleadas de todo tipo de aliens. Una vez hecho todo ya es solo repetir y repetir para farmear accesorios de armas, cosméticos.... aunque todo se puede comprar en la tienda. Le pongo un 6 porque tiene muy poco contenido ya que en 3 tardes te lo puedes pasar entero. Eso si hay que jugarlo con amigos ya que es mas divertido y hay que compenetrarse en cada nivel.… Expand

The graphics are less than impressive, especially for a next gen console game. For the price they're asking, the campaign is pretty short with only 4 'maps' (with 3 missions per map).

    That being said, the game is decent fun IF you have 2 other friends to play through the campaign with, it does have its moment and can be pretty enjoyable.    … Expand

    (TLDR: short campaign which is fun. End game is horde mode or replay the short campaign 7/10 wait for a sale.) This game was fun for the time(TLDR: short campaign which is fun. End game is horde mode or replay the short campaign 7/10 wait for a sale.) This game was fun for the time I spent in it. I finished it playing on a mix of casual and standard difficulty in about 6-7 hours. 12 levels which took 20 to 30 minuets to complete. Once I finished the campaign I played through a few levels on a harder difficulty and a few on standard with challenge cards. The visual and gun play are decent. The only downside is the campaign is short and unless horde shooters are your thing there is little to keep you coming back for more. The game is not bad by any means. Wait for a sale and enjoy it for what it is,… Expand
