Anyone got this and played it? Most Alien games are a huge let down so if you are on the fence about buying this one but are a huge fan of the first two movies then I really would recommend it (And I haven't played it!)

I was a bit curious as to whether or not this would live up to fan expectations so I started watching a guys walkthrough videos on youtube and in the end watched him play the entire game from start to finish - FANTASTIC!

It would seriously have me changing my undies more times than normal and with my little one running around I doubt I'd get much time to actually immerse myself in the story and play it but it's just an amazing looking game, a true horror survival FPS game that I doubt any fan of the Aliens franchise would have negative things to say about. It's not like the shitty marine games where you just run around blasting things, 9 times out of 10 if the Alien sees you in this game you are ****ed so it's all about hiding in lockers, under tables, using your radar and creating distractions so you can progress through the levels.

They also brought back the original cast (apart from Ash) for the special content on the X-box(?) edition which allows you to play a short mission as Ripley on the Nostromo, the full game sees you playing through as her daughter Amanda.

Cut scenes are great, story is great, characters are great, soundtrack is great, suspense is great!

10/10 for me and like I said I haven't even played it! :lol:
 
Alien Isolation is the 1st game that ive actually played all the way thru and completed for years it's that good! I havent even seen the Alien series of films but the game is fantastic! I didnt play as Ripleys daughter tho' i played as Ripley voiced by Sig ' HORNY ' Weaver :D I didnt put any extra dlc in the xbox one either.
 
Not a huge fan of horror games but I love the Alien films. Might have a look at this.

Chiffy - you must at least see Alien. What a film!
 
Loved it, don't normally venture away from Fifa or Maddens but Alien Isolation had me Hooked, some great jump out moments best game i've played for a while but doesn't touch "the last of us" :D
 
I looked at the gameplay on YouTube and must admit it looks a bit "textured", like an older ps3 or PS2 game...

For the moment nothing can beat "the last of us" for me. But its an PS exclusive and not availble On Xbox.
That game won 200 prizes for the game of the year award.
 
I think there are definitely better looking games out there that's for sure but I think if you are an Alien fan this is a must!

:lol:
 
Can i just say that i've had the last of us twice now and have played it for a while and sold it on both times so yeah, it's quality, but not to everyones liking!
I'm just about to give up on evil within at the mo. Again, its decent, but just to damn hard even on easy level!
 
The graphics look impressive, but I just started watching a walkthrough video series and the first time an Alien showed up was 5 episodes or nearly 2 and a half hours in to the game! I think I'd lose the will to live after walking around aimlessly without having something to shoot at after 5 minutes :lol:

I think that's the main reason I don't play modern games, I dont have the patience. I like arcade style games that you can pick up for 10 minutes. This looks like some serious dedication!
 
Believe me Edd i am the most unpatient man on this planet! I already knew that the Alien didnt appear till later on but it was the anticipation that got me hooked. The best of it is, especially with surround sound, when you can hear it rattling around above you in the vents! Jesus H Christ me n the kids have **** our panteloons on several occasions then laughed our socks off about it :p
 
Its reduced on xbox live now at £19.99, a decent price?
I too have passed on it as I've been disappointed with previous incarnations of the franchise but you guys seem to rave about so may take the plunge
 
Ive seen the disc version go for less than £15 delivered on ebay Benny. I agree ALL of the alien games have been **** so far but this is da bomb IMO of course so dont put my windows thru if you hate it!
