About this product

The 2002 third-person survival horror shooter that serves as a sequel to the genre-defining 1982 film is back, remastered by Nightdive Studios to bring this innovative blend of fast paced squad action meets survival horror to the modern era. Where the movie ended, the true terror begins. You are Cpt J.F. Blake, leader of a U.S. Special Forces rescue team sent to investigate the blood-curdling events and enigmatic deaths of the American scientific team that transpired at the Outpost 31 research facility located in the frozen wastelands of Antarctica. Within these inhospitable surroundings your team encounters a strange shape-shifting alien life-form that assumes the appearance of people that it kills. Trapped by the elements and infected by this horrific entity, using all your team members is critical if you hope to accomplish your objectives, let alone survive. If you only knew which ones were still human…

    Great Remaster of A Classic Game.

    While the gameplay mechanics can feel dated the overall game is still fun to play to this day. Think of other games during this time like Star Wars Dark Forces/Jedi Outcast and the like and you'll have a basic premise of what the game mechanics are like. Overall nice to play this game again on a current console and not having to rely on digging out my ancient PC to try and play the PC version of this entertaining game.

    A "classic" worth playing

    A good Switch game based off the Kurt Russell classic. However, it runs ok on the OG Switch, but on the Switch 2? Recommended playing it there.
