Been an Aliens fan for years. Reviews are saying this game is all but a broken tease of something that could have been great. A missed opportunity.
Might rent it at some point but no buy for me. Don't know if we can trust Gearbox Software with anything a long time coming ala Duke Nukem Forever.

The online community in AVP is dead because the matchmaking system in it is terrible, I did however enjoy the game, especially the campaigns... While the Marine was enjoyable, the game really picked up when you were the Alien
As for Colonial Marines, I played a bit last night when I got home from work... I joined in with my friends a little late, they had already completed the first two missions, but we blasted through until about halfway through the game on the hardest difficulty, which isn't actually that difficult, as long as you're aware of your surroundings and know what you're doing (I didn't of course but it didn't take long for me to pick it up) Overall it feels unpolished, it's a bit CoD-like in that you seem to be sprinting a lot, poppin' Aliens and moving on, there's not a lot of fear or panic to the game like I feel there should be from an Aliens game

I'm seeing people mad about the quality of this game on forums around the net. This game is proof why, unless it's a game that has been developed from the ground up from a AAA game developer (check track records) you should always hold off on pre-ordering. The fact of the matter is that this, is just how the gaming industry is today. People are going out and putting $60+ down on something and they have no clue if it's going to be worth it or not.
Take advice from a 15 year industry vet. I know I'm not alone on this forum when saying this. If you are pre-ordering a game based on it's trailers and demos you are choosing to walk a little to close to the edge. I know the view is great but there is a good chance your going to fall and land flat on your wallet.

Yea I am going to give this one a miss. I would recommend watching this review because he brings up points which have shocked me if they are true. You'll know what I mean if you watch it.

Unfortunately it's a bit too true... I haven't even bothered completing the story... Me and my friends have been playing multi-player though, and it's not too bad, kinda grows on you
