"Alien Rage - Unlimited" is a great FPS game with lots of alien enemies to shoot and blow to bloody pieces.

Yes, there is a storyline to it all: In the future, humans and a race called the Vorus are both mining the same asteroid for Promethium, an extremely valuable source of energy in a world depleted of fossil fuels. In the beginning there is peace and cooperation, but then something goes wrong and carnage follows. You will figure it out as you move through the 14 levels, picking up audio logs along the way that tell of the events that led to you being sent in to mow down any and all alien opposition.

Apart from the lesser enemy types, the game features a whole range of enemy bosses, each requiring its own set of tactics to defeat. There are some really tricky parts - for example, the final boss can be quite difficult at first - however, once you understand how to best use your weapons and environment for each situation (and remember to keep moving), it gets easier. There are three difficulty levels, the lowest (or normal) level being called "Challenging" - an indication that your first tour isn't necessarily going to be a pushover (depending on your unique experience with FPS games, of course).

Weapons can be divided into two types: projectile and energy, all with secondary fire modes. You can only carry three weapons at once. Of these, only two can be changed for other weapons, because the unlimited ammo pistol (your default weapon) is a fixed necessity - don't underestimate its use, though, for it's a formidable weapon and one can finish the game using it alone (especially with perks tailored to maximize its use).

Players gain a selection of "perks" (advantages) by stacking up points made from kills, modifying the abilities of weapons, armour or the player's health. For instance, the Mega Pistol perk supercharges the default pistol to give it way more punch.

At times you are able to also pick up a mighty minigun, although it will hamper your speed. The game's shotgun may not be very useful (personally), but there are enough weapons to experiment with as well as a melée attack. In one level you also get to drive a mech, squashing the enemy under metal feet and spewing bullets from your rotating machinegun barrels (it overheats quickly, but this can be helped by chosing the Heavy Weapon Recovery perk).

There aren't all that many controls, which is great - and it can be customized. The jump function very rarely comes into play since the game is structured in such a way that jumping over cumbersome obstacles is eliminated (assisting fast-moving gameplay).

The game has autosave checkpoints, no manual saving. Some players might have an issue with that, for it sometimes means that one has to repeat easier bits before getting back to the action that got you killed. Not really a problem, though. The game has real replay value, especially since global leaderboards are kept: you can try to improve your overall score by replaying individual levels, maybe also to go back for pickups you've missed before, all the while keeping tabs on how other players are getting on.

The game has amazing graphics and scenery/environment.

If you're a fan of the FPS genre, then "Alien Rage - Unlimited" is worth it.

Enjoy.
