    I played the game a few hours and one of the things that I do not like boring claustrophobic locations. Overall the game at first glance, makes a good impression. However, after a few hours you're tired of the boring shooting environment. Let's play a game for me but not for long.

    Some say Alien Rage is generic, and it is, but in a good way. It hearkens back to the good old days of Quake, Unreal and Doom where gameplay came before story, and where you played as a badass marine. This whole game reminds me of Quake II with a mix of Bulletstorm, but unfortunately there are a few set backs.

It hearkens back to the good old days of Quake, Unreal and Doom where gameplay came before story, and where you played as a badass marine. This whole game reminds me of Quake II with a mix of Bulletstorm, but unfortunately there are a few set backs. Some of the boss fights feel cheap, there's a section where you man an underpowered mech (yawn), the environments grow stale and boring halfway through the game... But it's not as difficult as people make it out to be. This is still an old school shooter at heart, even if it does have a regenerating health system, but it never feels as if the game is slowing you down. As a matter of fact, hiding under cover for too long will get you killed quick. This game is an absolute blast to play and ALL the weapons are very satisfying to use. Alien Rage also has high re-playability, taking different routes or using different weapons/techniques can really up your score on the leaderboards. Also a big thumbs up to the voice acting! Nothing pumps you up like firing a futuristic minigun and mowing down enemies while yelling and shouting expletives. I hope we get to see some DLC.… Expand

    Super generic, yet super fun. Alien Rage happens when you combine Gears Of War and Crysis in a terrible, lazy way. Although all what Alien Rage do is ripping off ideas from other shooter giants, it is still a fun game and it gives you memories of the old Quake III days. I will recommend this game for a 10$ bargain,

    Great old school FPS with a fun science fiction story and fun gameplay. Don't listen to the negative reviews. This game's a real joy to play if you're just looking for a nice playing sci-fi FPS.

    Love this game. For an arcade game it's a really fun FPS. It's absolutely old school in it's approach very fast paced, shoot the hell out of everything with rapid fire weapons and explosives and progress to the next level. It's very derivative of some of the older Unreal games (uses Unreal engine I think) but satisfying. Auto-aim makes it a fun romp since the number of enemies can beLove this game.

    Alien Rage could have been a thousand times worse, but even a thousand times better. We can definitely recommend it only to hardcore fans of FPS and science fiction.

    Alien Rage is a game whose initial presentation evokes the likes of Halo, Gears of War, and Killzone, but never lives up to such standards. Frustrating and often unfair difficulty, tedious boss fights, and bland level design make this game feel like an empty shell of its lofty inspirations. In a genre saturated with great games, you could do much better than Alien Rage.

    Alien Rage may have made a positive impact if it were released in 2007; however its ambition isn’t matched in execution. The shooting and technical graphics work well, but a lack of distinctive moments fail to distinguish Alien Rage from a sea of same-y space-marine, sci-fi, alien shooters.
