Absolutely EPIC. From start to finish this game is a wild ride, especially for an avid Ridley Scott fan. The games enviroments match the film to such a degree that I doubt a single bolt, or rivet is out of place.

Sound design is some of the best I've seen in my many years of gaming. Subtle noises like the ventilation fans, or computers chirring away. To our friendly neighborhood Xenomorph clanging in the crawlspaces. I've found myelf more than once just taking pause for a moment to enjoy the sounds of each different area of the game. The high tech medical facilities to the deep underbelly of Sevastapol's Engineering sections. Good sound design can make or break a game like this. Creative Assembly frickin' nailed it.

The AI is brutally unforgiving on the hardest difficulty setting. Human enemies react to the slightest sound, spot you across the room when just peeking over a crate, Patroling randomly while searching for you making it a hair pulling experience in some areas.
Speaking of hair pulling... The Xenomorph is ruthless and terrifying! The sound of it dropping from a vent anywhere near you is enough to make you dash for the nearest hole to hide in until it leaves the area. Anything from sprinting to a accidently knocking somethign over can ruin your day.

A fantastic story breathing new life into our beloved world of Alien. One that was suprisingly long and more challenging as it progresses.

I give this game a 9/10! If you're an alien fan and don't require stupid Predators to make an appearance I suggest you give this roller coaster ride a whirl. Preferably in the dark, late at night, and the volume nice and loud.
