    How do you make an Aliens game this dull? Monotonous gameplay, unbelievably bad checkpointing, unintuitive controls and basic at best level design. Nothing more to say other than avoid..

    Zombies enough said about where we are going with this franchise. You will get bored very quickly.

    Aliens: Fireteam Elite is an absolute mess of an experience..

    The game went from a peak of 22,000 players to under 2,000 within a month due in large to an inability to connect to others and, perhaps worse of all, the complete lack of purpose user agency or mission complexity.

    The game went from a peak of 22,000 players to under 2,000 within a month due in large to an inability to connect to others and, perhaps worse of all, the complete lack of purpose user agency or mission complexity.

    Bar the absences of a playerbase, Fireteam Elite is a creatively anemic game that's riddled with progress halting bugs.

    It could be argued that Fireteam Elite is less of a functional game as it is more of a proof of concept technical demonstration.

    In conclusion, Fireteam Elite is the personification of mediocrity².

    The Alien license deserves better.    … Expand

    The enemy AI is very dumb and the game has plenty of bugs and isn't very polished. The graphics are less than impressive, especially for a next gen console game. For the price they're asking, the campaign is pretty short with only 4 'maps' (with 3 missions per map).

    Great game for aliens fans and 3rd person shooter fans. Can see alotta work has gone into making this as authentic to franchise as possible. Heaps of customization options and weaponry, and variety of enemy units. Only the occasional match making issues sour the experience a little but their patching is improving this. Majority of reviews were overly critical I thought. Downloaded the gameGreat game for aliens fans and 3rd person shooter fans.

I finished it playing on a mix of casual and standard difficulty in about 6-7 hours. 12 levels which took 20 to 30 minuets to complete. Once I finished the campaign I played through a few levels on a harder difficulty and a few on standard with challenge cards. The visual and gun play are decent. The only downside is the campaign is short and unless horde shooters are your thing there is little to keep you coming back for more. The game is not bad by any means. Wait for a sale and enjoy it for what it is,… Expand

    This online-focussed squad shooter recreates the feel of the Aliens movie perfectly but rarely gives us something original to do with all that pitch-perfect fan service. [Issue#6, p.82]

    Despite issues with repetition, Aliens: Fireteam Elite delivers where it counts; in its core gameplay. When you’re in the moment, obliterating hundreds of enemies using iconic weapons, against the backdrop of stunning locations that tap into the amazing cinematography the Alien franchise is known for, any shortcomings almost seem irrelevant. And, with the promise of free playable content to come across the next year, the rock-solid foundation which Cold Iron Studios has built could turn into something truly special.

    Remarkably faithful to the source material and always fun to play, Aliens: Fireteam Elite is bogged down by an uninspired story and a huge amount of bugs.
