Brief synopsis of Aliens: Colonial Marines

In Aliens: Colonial Marines, players are part of a United States Colonial Marine squad and must prepare to face an alien assault more intense and horrific than ever before. Driven by a compelling and original story penned by renowned writers Bradley Thompson and David Weddle, Aliens: Colonial Marines will retain the atmospheric look and feel of the original films while leveraging next-generation technology to create an entirely new interactive Aliens experience.

Packing classic Aliens weaponry ranging from pulse rifles to flamethrowers as well as brand-new equipment and skills all within a squad-based combat system, players will become an elite United States Colonial Marine. Featuring claustrophobic environments, a brooding soundtrack, and a multitude of surprises and shocks, players will battle against menacing alien hordes in strikingly detailed levels that include the stark interiors of the abandoned Sulaco and unique environments created specifically for the game.

Aliens: Colonial Marines will feature a story driven single-player mode and an all-new four player co-op mode allowing players to share the chilling experience with three friends. In co-op mode, each player will assume the persona of a Colonial Marine and have a distinct role to play in the completion of every mission. Additionally, more multiplayer modes will be revealed later in the year that will complete the Aliens video game experience.

I absoutly love the alien saga and am looking forward to such a well constructed plot and game base. The GRAW style gameplay of squad command looks to have such a fluent effect on the characters you control and i can't wait to jump into the action:P

Riddick from Worthing , 29/04/2009

For people wondering why its been pushed back (by a whole year) from its origonal date of march this year, it is because of brothers in arms hells highway. The Aliens game ws origonally with Ubisoft but because of such bad sales with brothers in arms the got rid of aload of staff, and inturn must've moved it to sega. Its genuine info, we have a ubisoft rep that comes into my work once a month and he told me.
