It's as boring as the original movie!! If that sentence made you mad, you'll love the game.

Hard to follow and the greatest graphics. I expected more.

Save your money gave is not worth it, played it a few time could not get in to it.

An 'Alien' fans wet dream... From the second you start the game it really does feel like you are playing out the movie, with spot on design that makes you want to explore and look at things just for the sake of seeing how many times you get that feeling of nostalgia when you see an item you remember from the movie. The story is great, and about as believable as it's going to get without being too over the top or skewing from the story line the movies have already set in stone. The only complaints I have about the game is that it can be buggy at times (like when the alien is feet away and looking right at you, but then suddenly turns away like it forgot you were there), but that is easily overlooked since it is rare. Second complaint would be that it can be very difficult at times, not because of the alien, but because of the amount of 'Working Joe' synthetic bots you have to sneak around or fight. The game is great at creating that tension and fear that you felt the first time watching 'Alien', but it does get put to a halt when you realize you have to sneak around a Joe for the 50th time. Other than that, the game is perfect. If you are playing with a good sound system or a decent set of headphones then there isn't a doubt that you will be suffering from sweaty palms throughout this entire game as you hear the alien crawling in the vents above you just as you were about to take out another crazed survivor. The story mode of this game is a total winner and the 'survivor' mode can be fun but turns into nothing more than a 'try to get lucky' sprint to the finish line to get a top time on the leader boards. The little replay value and few bugs (at this point) are the only reason this game is not getting a perfect rating. If developers were to somehow work co-op or even a counter-op multiplayer in some way this game would get an 11 out of 10.

its OK. Not too much going on. play if u wanna....

The overall rating for this game is very good. The story is great and graphics as well. However, this game can and will get a little annoying at times due to the fact that ammunition are very limited and you have to preserve as much as you can. The problem is, there is a lot of one hit kills and it's sometime hard to determine who to save them for and you spend most of the time hiding or creeping. The aliens appear anywhere randomly and one hit kills you no matter how much energy you have, which is real of course but gets annoying when trying to enter codes, hack a server, etc. Sometime you have to put the controller down and recompose yourself before continuing. The maps are sometimes confusing and hard to determine what floor you're on and it becomes hard to get to where you have to be. This game can be challenging and requires lots of patient ( this is NOT a run and gun). I've had my share of frustrations, however, the game is still really good. It is creepy and will have you jumping. Now that I have calmed down it's back to the game.

If you do you're dead. Simple as that. This game requires a tremendous amount of patience, and stealth. The aliens are without question the top of the food chain and you're on the menu. Hide where ever you can to keep safe and be patient. There are times that I've hidden for 10 minutes just because I'm scared to get out. Playing this game on a big screen in the dark adds a whole new fear element to it. Good game

All the hype and no wow factor. It's like Colonial Marines but worse.

Great story an graphics. Plenty of tense moments an scares. Is a little repetitious in spots but keeps story moving. I was skeptical at first but is brilliant. Just buy it!

Everything in this review is **SPOILER FREE** You play as Ellen Ripley’s daughter, Amanda Ripley. Set 15 years after the events of the first Alien film, Amanda is recruited to go on a mission from our favorite sci-fi company, Weyland-Yutani, to recover the flight recorder of the Nostromo, which was found by and is being held on Sevastopol station. After a presumably pleasant cryo-sleep, Amanda wakes up to find themselves approaching Sevastopol station which is run by Seegson, a company that appears to be behind Weyland-Yutani in the whole space domination thing. The setup takes about 5 minutes. From there, things begin going downhill. And poor Amanda, has a very, very, very bad day. First and foremost: if you dislike survival horror and stealth, this probably isn’t the game for you. Even if you’re desperately in love with the Alien franchise (like I am) that in itself probably isn’t enough to get you to make it through this amazing game. Hard, but not impossible. But… If you're lucky enough to be like me and love Alien, stealth, and survival horror, then Christmas came a little early this year. Alien: Isolation is hard, but not impossibly hard. I actually played it on the hardest difficulty setting and I must say I felt like it played like in a real environment. If you bump a chair and the Alien is 20 meters away, it’ll probably hear it. I would recommend playing on that setting if you’re a decent gamer. If you’re more casual, you can always turn down difficulty in game, which is a nice touch. A couple missions in you'll figure out just how the stealth system works, and what you can and can't do. One of the most innovate features of the game is the save system. Save points take on the form of emergency telephones on the wall where your character needs to go up to and wait an agonizingly long two seconds for the her key card to be recognized, which then prompts you if you want to save. The save points can be spread out and there could be long sections without one. But rarely was I put off by that. Getting to one and activating it truly feels like an accomplishment. I've finished entire games without feeling as accomplished as I do in Alien: Isolation just making it to some random save point, halfway through a level. The term "survival horror" - while ubiquitous in gaming - is really a misnomer. Sure it's an Alien game and there is some gore, but as a whole, I would classify this game as "survival terror." It's a minor difference, but I find myself needing to take breaks from the game just to calm my heart rate. I don't ever recall playing a game that messed with my heart rate like this one. Resident Evil games have their moments, but this game can be so tense, I find myself holding my breath more often than not. In fact some of the most relaxing times in the game is when you realize the alien spotted you and there’s nothing you can do now but wait to be taken by it, because truly - you can’t run from it. This brings me to another topic I wanted to discuss. The game obviously prominently features the Alien - or Xenomorph if you’re inclined - as the main baddie. You can’t kill the alien, nor can run away from it. I read that about 20 times before playing and I say the first time I saw the Alien I forgot all my training and ran away… well at least until it caught me. The Alien is amazingly well done. Some reviews say that it seems psychic or always kinda knowing where you are. I would argue that is not true. It behaves like an animal hunting for anything it can find in a given area. Obviously it’s a game and if the Alien was always on the other side of the ginormous station, it would lose it’s effect. But level maps are sufficiently large that you can appreciate times when it’s visiting the other side of the map. There are times that it’s frustrating, where it appears to know you’re in a locker, but their are many times between those times it doesn’t. It really is random, and it is really well done. It can get tedious if you’re too scared to do anything. If you find yourself in a locker for 10 minutes, it may be time to reevaluate the difficulty setting, or how you’re playing. Sevastopol station itself is a character in the game. There was a time before resolution and framerate battles, where games had box rooms and right-angle hallways and that was enough. The level design of Sevastopol, while familiar, is unique and feels lived in. You don’t get the awe inspiring landscapes of say Halo 4, but you do the feeling that you’re going through a place that was once vibrant and filled with life. In many ways I feel about Sevastopol as I do about Rapture from BioShock. I wish I could make the Alien go away and enjoy the scenery sometimes. The game designers also did a great job making the Seegson company seem different than what we see/know of Weyland-Yutani. It feels a little less in every way. Like a poor man’s Weyland-Yutani. A comment about the Xbox One version specifically. The game has Kinect support in two ways. The first is ambient sound monitoring. Say you’re hiding from the Alien in a locker and it’s strolling on by. Suddenly you sneeze in real life. Yep, the Alien knows exactly where you are. I found this a little gimmicky, but I do play in a relatively noisy room so I turned it off very early on. The other feature is actually the best integration of Kinect I have seen in a game that doesn’t require it (ie not a Kinect only game like Kinect sports). It’s headtracking! In the game you can do all kinds of leaning and pulling back. For instance, if hiding in a locker and the alien is sniffing nearby, you need to pull back and hold your breath. Otherwise you can move around slightly in the locker to look out the corners and get a better vantage point. The head tracker worked for me 100% of the time. I could move side to side, forward and back, and even up and down to peek over things. It’s active by itself if you’re hiding in something. Or if you’re in the environment, you activate look mode by holding LB. I can’t praise this feature enough. For the first time, Kinect is integrated in a way that feels MORE natural than using a controller to do something. I want to stress that some reviews online from big name websites say the game is too long or too hard. To a degree they're right. If you don't enjoy this genre, that would be someone's general feelings. If you're on the fence with the genre, and you want to support a magnificently well-done game, then please try it out. If you know you don't like the genre - just move along, nothing in this game will change your mind. In fact it will probably remind you why you don't play these games. So please - if you think you might like it - you should get it Mario is a game enjoyed by all. Alien: Isolation is a phenomenal game that tests the mettle of a certain type of gamer who really wants a challenge and appreciates games that elevate your heart rate. My last suggestion is that you watch Alien before you play. I found I appreciated things more than I would have, from the sound effects to the level design, and even your characters shoes! Get the game now while they still have Nostromo editions in stock and you get to play with all the original actors of the film in alternate history level which is pretty cool.

Finally a great aliens game. So scary that has u on the edge of ur chair. One thing I don't like though is u can't really kill anything.

This game is great and very challenging. Love how the environments capture the atmosphere from the original movies.

I'd give 3 1/2 stars if I could but not an option. Alien Isolation is a fun game and the best game in the Alien franchise since Aliens vs. Predator 2, but it does suffer from one of the things that makes it great. The Alien being a lethal killer makes it suspenseful but at the same time it is very frustrating to spend a half hour carefully avoiding the xenomorph to instantly die and have to do that whole half hour again. I enjoy the game but have found myself unable to play for long stretches for this very reason.

Maybe FPS is an unfair categorization, but you feel like your playing an FPS, but you have to play a stealth game not get killed. Add to that an un-engaging story, and you have an average game that does not command a 60 dollar price tag. Only grab from the $20 bargain bin.

Love this game! Definitely worth the investment! The gamerclub unlocked discount helps out.

Holds true to the original alien movie and is very scary. Great game

If you are a fan of the Alien movies, this game is a no brainer. The atmosphere in this game is simply breathtaking. The visuals and sound suck you in and you feel like you are really there. Excellent game!

Recent Alien (or alien universe) games which have been released recently have failed to satisfy fans of the original movie series for multiple reasons: the gameplay is a FPS which plays more like Halo where you are a walking death machine instead of a flesh and blood human. Alien: Isolation plays much more like you're a character from the first Alien movie by Ridley Scott. If you have played Outlast on computer or console than you know the type of paranoia and edge-of-your-seat thrills I am talking about. This game is not for the faint of heart but for a true survival horror fan or a fan of the Alien movies, take a look at this game.

This game has so many layers of entertainment! It looks great and feels great, and if you are a fan it throws you back to the first time you seen "Alien". While the game isn't the action packed blockbuster such as Destiny, it is an excellent game for the experimental and it fits for a perfect fall release. Mechanics are good, story is great, concept is great, graphics are excellent!!! This game is a no brainer and its been a while that one could say such a thing about a SEGA title.

It looks like a classic movie with a great storyline.it takes place berween alien and aliens you play as Ellen Ripleys dauhter,trying to solve the mystery of her moms dissapearance.Or you can get he nostromo edition and play as 3 other people from the original storyline,which the only one i remember is the important one Ellen Ripley herself! its more of a survivl game like outlast
