Just not interested in multiplayer but as always i have the game on 30day return and will play the campaign as that's where this is hopefully at.

As for graphics , why and what are you expecting on this outdated hardware ,as i remember it ,nothing has impressed my graphically in the last couple of years , maybe longer .

should be in my letter box tomorrow ,if im honest im not expecting allot but for now im re watching the old Alien film to try and get that " messing my pants feeling " before i play the game .

It might be outdated hardware but you have to expect better than this mate,there are plenty of games out there on both the 360 and the playstation 3 that put the graphics in this game to shame.

This is AVP 2010 which absolutely anyalates Aliens Colonial Marines and thats a game thats nearly 3 years old.

Take a look at the graphics and feel of this game and you will kind of get the fact that people that love the Alien Franchise [I'm one of them] have been well and truly ripped of and duped by Gearbox Software that have not got the slightest idea how to make a decent game with decent tension,effects and decent graphics giving what is capable even on 6 year old consoles.

Borderlands was nothing special and the follow up was also just a ok game which got boring and tedious pretty quickly,but they just about pulled it of with this game because they used cartoon style graphics to mask there poor development skills.

I have yet to see a half decent game from Gearbox software and if someone can point me in the right direction then i will dead keen to take a look at what you think is a decent Gearbox game.

And THIS just about puts the nail in the coffin for Gearbox.....

According to this they did not even develop the single player part of the game and gave it to a smaller development company which is basically unheard of in this day and age.

And to add insult to injury Gearbox are actually responsible for the [censored] looking multiplayer part of the game that nobody after 10 minutes will bother with.

your instinct was right about this game, just finished first mission of campaign , the graphics are very poor but even more inexcusable is the feel of the game .

3 out of 10 there is so much possibility to make a great game its shocking a developer can get it so wrong .

I didn't want to say i told you so but i have been gaming for 35 years mate and everything about this game looked horrible and any Gamer could see this was a epic fail.

From the constant delays to the hiring of some third party developer to do the single player quest have alarm bells ringing,people will say its not about how good a game is and graphics are not everything.......I say no sir you are wrong especially when you have such a fantastic Film franchise that cries out for some top end developer to get hold of it and give it the quality it deserves.

Problem is with Film Franchise type games developers on the hole get lazy and think the name itself is enough to sell the game,that might be the case if you 15 or younger because seriously they would not know a decent game if it bite them in the backside.

I really hope this game finds itself in the bargain bin within a week or so and people refuse to except this sort of quality in 2013 when there are so many possibilities and no reason for games to look this bad.

Just came back from Blockbusters and the guy in there said they had not had one single person buy the game at present,Gearbox sort of put there development skills to the test when the idiot i was bought Duke Nuke em Forever thinking it can not be that bad can it......

Borderlands aside and a few half life mods they are in my opinion average at best developers.

and as expected here is

ign.com review

and its not pretty and the scores low but even higher than i expected.

Been duped before myself mate but i have wised up and now a game has to at least look different and have some graphical appeal for me to be slightly interested in 2013.

A game that uses the Alien Name has to have that certain quality,it has to look good and have amazing special effects and graphical flair.

Looking at this game its a insult to most gamers intelligence and only the most tolerate of gamers that expect very little would be remotely interested.

From the poor reviews coming in [not a surprise] to the forums awash with insults about the developers and the poor game and another wasted opportunity.

Vote with your wallet and let it rot on the shelf is what i say,to be honest for the life of me i have never understood what people actually saw in this game in the first place judging by the videos and preview builds.

The only thing remotely the same about this game and the Film is the sound of the pulse rifle and motion tracker,the aliens themselves look like something i could have created using this apple mac,and the effects when killing them look ever more dire...................

I really don't think its all about the graphics to many of us , yeah there an important part of the package but only one part of what makes a game good .my example is Minecraft which is hugely successful and has 16bit graphics .

This game stinks on all levels , if the game play was jumpy ,full of suspense with action packed battles and a compelling story , i could forgive the last gen graphics but as it is , i will complete campaign and post it back tomorrow . as i understand it , campaign can be completed in 5 hours .

So wanted this to be a good game but your bang on the money this time , the review embargo was the dead give away .

I understand what your saying about it not been all about graphics to some people but personally a game that has outstanding Graphics has me hooked pretty quick,obviously if the gameplay is poor then thats another story.

You mention Minecraft and i understand that many people love this game and its 16 bit graphics,but to me mate if this was Gaming i would go take up Golf or train spotting

likewise i never understand why i read so many psn and xbox forum posts about people wanting old playstation 1 games like Jumping Flash etc on the gaming stores.

These are the same people crying out for next generation consoles........Why ?

Why bother upgrading if you want to play games from 10/15 years ago........I just dont get it and why bother with advancement in the first place.

Its just another reason for developers and the likes of Sony and Microsoft to fill the stores with stuff from the past,same with the backward compatibility people want with the next generation consoles,another thing i don't get,obviously it needs to play recent Playstation 3 games but who cares about the rest.

I mean i put games on from a few years back when i thought they were pretty mind blowing at the time only to be looking at them now and thinking this don't look to clever.

Im a graphics [censored] mate and i think that it is of upmost important to draw a gamer in the minute you load that game,there is nothing like a fantastic intro to a new game and i really nice looking menu screen,with a brilliant sound track.

Its the same with music to me in a sort of way,i can listen to a piece of music or a group and know within seconds if i like it,same with gaming only it takes a little longer,may be a few minutes.

There are not many times i have dished a game based on previews and demos and then decided to try it some months later and decide it was really good and i had made a mistake.

Dead Space 3 had me worried ,even cancelled pre/order,but having had second thoughts i bought it and its everything i expected and more,the fear factor has gone a little but put it side by side with what you are unfortunately playing and you can class Dead Space 3 as a Masterpiece.

One redeeming thing you have in your favour is the fact you can return the game,i don't know about the cost to you for doing that,but the general public will have lost £15 within minutes of taking ownership of this pile of doggy pooh.

I pay £12.95 and get to play the game for 30 days or i can keep the game and pay the remainder . its how i have been buying my games the last three years . All titles come day of release or before .

in this case i have lost but in most cases im completely bored and have finished with the game with in the 30 days .

I just see it as hire before i buy and the 30days is enough time to go back and have another look at a game after being initial unhappy with a game .

you will be surprised how many times i have changed my opinion of a game on my second look . But not this game , no second look , as i have already wasted time playing it already , its that bad , in fact what was so bad about duke nukem ? Gearbox are now an avoided developer .
