Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
88 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
If you can forgive a poor storyline and some clunky controls in lieu of amazing atmosphere and action-driven, guns blazing, alien smashing gameplay, then you can be glad to fork over $10.99 CAD for this game.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
84 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
It has a nice story continue over the other 2 games. and it has comicbook style cinematic with voiced text at the beginning of each episode.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
69 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
There are a decent variety of weapons, though the list isn't incredibly long; there's a shotgun, assault rifle, flamethrower, pulse gun, and a laser rifle to take down the enemy with.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
61 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This influence shines brightly through the dimly lit corridors and dynamic lighting-filled sectors of the facility and space ship that you will be exploring.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
39 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
This game offers a 5-6 hours campaign that considerably is more fun played co-op, which I personally think it's intended.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
38 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I'm curently on max difficulty for the achievement, the difficulty is pretty balanced, no bullet sponge, just fast enemies (I guess since I never played it before).
