Anyone picking this game up? I've had it on pre-order and it's released tonight.
It's got some very L4D-style looking multiplayer, 4 marines vs 4 aliens - what look like spitters, chargers, boomers etc. Could be interesting!

I just played through the campaign. Forget I said anything, it's balls.

For £30 I'll give it a miss

Yeah, it's quite honestly unbelievable how bad it is. It turns out lots of the preview footage from last year (that looked good) wasn't even in the game.
My high hopes were smashed.

Now that is a damning review. Did you not read that before you parted with £30?

I pre-ordered when, I'm pretty sure, it was supposed to be good. I don't know, maybe I was drunk. That's as good an excuse as any....
Lesson learned. Should have cancelled the moment I realised there was a release day review embargo.
Check out this video of the show demo graphics compared to the release. Not saying anything of the shoddy gameplay, AI, story or anything else...
