Super impressive. The alien is fantastically done and really keeps the tension at a constant high. This game lives and dies by the Alien AI. One of my favorite things was watching the alien adapt to how I played, such as checking lockers or trying to sneak behind me after I used the flamethrower too much. I do think the flamethrower does dramatically trivialize some encounters with the alien, especially if you stock up on fuel. One of the few games to actually scare me.

Personally, every time I felt the game starting to lose steam I think it sucked me right back in. Could a chapter or two been removed to help streamline the plot of the game? Sure. Do I care? Nope


Also: **** that IGN review
