Aliens: Infestation

Players control up to nineteen Marines as they explore now deadly locales such as the U.S.S.

Sulaco, planet LV-426, and the derelict ship.

Each of the nineteen Marines are written with their own dialog and personalities, but play the same.

Players can expect to encounter the classic humanoid-inspired aliens, eggs, face-huggers, monstrous queens, and even chest-bursting babies.

Besides the classic Xenomorphs of franchise fame, players will also face off against enemy soldiers and robots (or "synthetics" as they were known in the movies).

A Colonial Marine Colonel is ever-present (by way of radio) to hand out orders and explanations of items in the game.

The game and map unfold in a manner highly reminiscent of Metroid games (perhaps ironic given the inspiration that franchise has taken from the Alien series) featuring large side-scrolling environments that gradually unfold as players explore the locations and gradually gain access to new areas.

Like the aforementioned Metroid games, players will add to their armaments with a variety of weapons and tools, including the famous pulse rifles, flame-throwers, grenades, welding torches and others.

Security access cards must be discovered to allow deeper access through areas in the game, and like the movies, the ventilation system is factored into movement and exploration.

While the game is an action-packed side-scroller, WayForward and Gearbox worked to transfer over the claustrophobic horror atmosphere of the original films.

Players will encounter familiar sound effects through the game pulled straight from James Cameron's Aliens , and a tense horror atmosphere from Ridley Scott's original film.

The survival horror aspect of the game receives an extra

Loose means cartridge or disc only, CIB (complete in box) includes the original box and manual, and sealed means factory-sealed and never opened. For Aliens: Infestation, loose is €99.90 and CIB is €72.72 — CIB commands a premium because original boxes and manuals are fragile and often don't survive.
