When it comes to the Alien franchise, there have been a lot of missteps. When Gearbox Software announced they were working on Aliens: Colonial Marines, there was a lot of hope that a true sequel to Aliens would take shape with this action game.
Fast forward six years and Sega finally published Aliens: Colonial Marines. But like most movie tie-in games, it fails to capture the theme and tone of the source material. Aliens: Colonial Marines' story takes place after James Cameron's 1986 movie, explaining what happened on the colony after Ripley and the first squad of Marines came and lost their encounter with the xenomorphs.
While it was expected that the game would have a very 1980s tone, Aliens: Colonial Marines takes it to a new level with bizarre writing, lack of character development, and a lack of polish.
