TheI don't know what people were expecting from this game. If you enjoyed WWZ then you will love this game! In some ways I think it's better. The team did an amazing job on this. The environments are so sick! You feel like your in the aliens universe, and don't get me started on the guns! Amazing attention to detail Thank you Cold Iron Studios. The AI bots are not perfect but their the best I've seen in this genre. So if you like horde shooters, and are an Alien/Aliens fan then you will love this game. Definitely worth the asking price. (Real score 9 out of 10)… Expand

   Fun and story rich for the die hard Alien fans out there. The job Cold Iron have done is impressive. Some triple A companies should take note.

   For a $40 game, I’m willing to forgive a lot. And honestly, there’s not much to forgive here. The game plays great, I haven’t had anyFor a $40 game, I’m willing to forgive a lot. And honestly, there’s not much to forgive here. The game plays great, I haven’t had any crashes or freezes and only a few disconnects early in the first few post-launch days. I wish it had $60 worth of levels but at $40 again, there’s a lot here. The level design is a bit linear and I wish there were a few more surprises in where you go (sometimes your objectives will very slightly change to replays don’t get tiresome). The guns feel fantastic — especially the Pulse Rifle and SmartGun and the Shotguns are all impactful. There’s some loot elements to it that allow for customization of your class abilities and weapons to give you more freedom on how you play. The Doc character needs a full overhaul as a healer/support as his mechanic is a nightmare to play with random people not using microphones. Outside of that, this is a blast to play alone and better with friends. The bots are capable enough (but don’t do objectives) and will keep up in the kill count and accuracy/shot percentage. If you’re an Alien fan, definitely give this a look. It integrates elements from all the films and even Alien: Isolation. It’s a fun time, even if it’s not one that you’ll spend forever with. Looking forward to coming back as they add more classes and content.… Expand

The Xenos are awaiting, andAliens: Fireteam Elite isn’t a game that requires expert gamers, but an excellent arcade in your face experience. The Xenos are awaiting, and there's plenty of them to take out. Aliens: Fireteam Elite feels like the sequel to Alien: Isolation is the gaming version of Aliens to Alien. Aliens: Fireteam Elite drops you into tense and often chaotic firefights that engage your souped-up team of Colonial Marines against waves of varying Xenomorphs and Weyland-Yutani. It's meant to be played with friends and the gameplay mechanics that lend themselves to co-op play are simple and quite effective. Aliens: Fireteam Elite won't blow you away with its nuanced approach to gameplay or groundbreaking graphics, but it will keep you and a group of friends entertained. The story at the core of Aliens: Fireteam Elite is a sign of Cold Iron Studios's dedication to its source material. Any fan of the Alien franchise will enjoy picking up the random hidden lore items or getting a bit of exposition while aboard your ship. It's somewhat odd in the fact that there are no cut scenes or even animated faces in Aliens: Fireteam Elite. There's little to no dialogue from the character you choose to play as. Your character emits the occasional grunt, warning, or heads up while healing, but that’s about it. There is plenty of talking coming from Sergeant Herrera, who acts like this game's Cortana, directing you via comms from the safety of the ship. Aliens: Fireteam Elite feels like a solid arcade shooter. There's nothing here in the gameplay that will next generation wow you, but its core features have been tried and trued by its predecessors, and they work quite well. While you can pick from one of five classes, some of them feel a bit lack luster overall, especially the Doc. There are a few RPG elements, and the classes will definitely help make co-op sessions more fun, especially if everyone is fighting over the weapons only one class can wield. There are a total of four campaigns in Aliens: Fireteam Elite with each with three missions. The basic mission structure is as such: head through several spaces clearing aliens, arrive at a bigger space that requires you to set up perimeter defenses before triggering a gigantic horde, defeat that horde and end the mission. The overall setup or format can get a bit old, but Cold Iron Studios is banking on the variety that comes with co-op and many Challenge Cards to keep you from getting too bored. With the short campaign and focus on three-person multi-player I wonder if Cold Iron Studios should have implemented a share-play option like some other releases we’ve seen on the Xbox. Aliens: Fireteam Elite is just okay as a solo shooter, but the inclusion of friends makes the gameplay arcade bliss. As far as the curse of Alien games goes, Aliens: Fireteam Elite seems to have safely avoided that and this is a fun, frantic third-person shooter set out to a score you and your teammates. Xenomorphs will fall from the ceiling, scurry over the walls, and jump out of ventilation shafts almost ceaselessly, which makes for a really fun, fast arcade play. As a fan of arcade style games and it’s hefty reliance of multiplayer it’s a solid release by Cold Iron Studios and fans should definitely pick it up and even newcomers should ponder this release in the Xbox digital games store if you’re into arcade driven action like myself. Keep an eye on Cold Iron Studios, their release here is a solid one. Cold Iron Studios provided the game for purposes of this review, however that has no bearing on the enjoyment it brought and I definitely recommend this one to the many Xbox gamers out there.… Expand

   Este juego hace muchas cosas bien y otras no tanto. Es un juego fantástico para vivir una experiencia al mas puro estilo 'Aliens: El regreso'.Este juego hace muchas cosas bien y otras no tanto. Es un juego fantástico para vivir una experiencia al mas puro estilo 'Aliens: El regreso'. Cuenta con un multijugador competente para disfrutar con amigos y sentiros unos verdaderos 'Marines Coloniales'. Tiene un buen estilo de arte, con sorpresas y guiños de la saga, y una brillante banda sonora. Tiene un gameplay que nos recordará a otros juegos como 'Left 4 dead' o 'World War Z' siendo solido, variado y muy gratificante.
   En su contraparte el juego carece de algunos aspectos técnicos como pueden ser la falta de animaciones de los NPC a la hora de mantener un dialogo y modos de juegos basados en la repetición de estos. A su vez el juego se autoimpone muchas restricciones al jugarlo en solitario, ya que ofrece unos aliados en forma de IA con una programación básica, que carecen de personalización y son mediocres en altas dificultades, reduciendo las sesiones de juego a dificultades bajas si juegas de manera local.
   A modo de conclusión, Aliens Fireteam Elite me ha ofrecido muchas horas de juego, además de recibir mediante actualizaciones mucho contenido gratuito, que he podido disfrutar en compañía de otros jugadores y amigos. Recomendado a fans de Alien y a los jugadores que buscan juegos cooperativos con grandes desafíos.… Expand

   Some might like it more than others but this game is pretty hard so you have to pay real attention to the game

   Sauf que les xénomorphes les ont remplacés… les pauvres. Loin d’instaurer la moindre tension, le jeu se limite au plus strict bourrinage totalement décérébré… En outre, on s’étonne qu’une vue TPS ait été choisie dans des environnements souvent étriqués !
   
   Les sensations sont totalement absentes mais l’ennui est bel et bien présent, on sent qu’on va s’endormir… même en solo et en difficulté basse avec deux mannequins pour vous épauler (non, pas ces mannequins-là, des synthétiques, andouille !). Il reste cela dit des graphismes assez agréables (faits avec l’Unreal) et tout à fait fluides sur console new gen (60 im/s) mais on zappe ce merdier… rapidement, cela va sans dire.… Expand
