Aliens: Infestation

About

Aliens: Infestation casts you as a Colonial Marine battling Xenomorphs across familiar locations like the U.S.S. Sulaco and LV-426. You select a squad of four specialists each with unique skills and watch their interactions shift based on your choices. The story unfolds through onscreen text and voiceovers while you issue commands in real time. Classic movie weapons like pulse rifles and flamethrowers return with distinct handling and ammo types. Combat mixes cover-based shooting with occasional stealth sections as you clear infested areas and extract survivors. The game stands out for its roster of licensed characters and weapon customization options which let you tweak fire modes and attachments. While the DS touchscreen handles inventory swaps smoothly the fixed camera angles can frustrate in tight corridors. Community feedback notes the script leans heavily on Aliens lore without adding major new twists. At 8 to 10 hours it offers a brisk but competent survival horror experience with minimal polish issues for a 2011 release.
