I used to playa game called tremulous and tehre was a species of aliens that could crawl on the wall, through this i found playing as the aliens quite fun and easy with limetless potentiol. This demo is fun, but a bit unpolished and jumpy, but a blast to play

This game has a lot of potential. As one of my friends said about the dem, today, "It doesn't suck." With a few more tweaks (mainly to the graphics) and it should be a good game. The Aliens have been and I'm sure will be, my go to race. They're just fun. Looking forward to some team multi-player, and hoards of Aliens chasing down everyone else.

Alien is easily my favorite class, and I got the hang of it pretty quick (though nobody can never truly get it 100%, right?). I learned that you can jump from surface to surface if you're close enough, which is much better than just walking there.

One thing that I wish all classes could do is not take 30 goddamn seconds to do a kill move! Dying because I took the time to play with the guts of my beheaded enemy counts for 90% of my deaths. -_-

Was I the only one disappointed in the quality of the graphics? In an age of Dead Space and F.E.A.R. games, shouldn't everything be a little less boxy and more rounded?

I really didn't like the controls for the Alien in terms of switching surfaces, although maybe I'll get used to it with practice.

Definitely agree with your comments about playing as a Marine. That's the best part of the demo, and very evocative of the Alien franchise movies. Spotting the Aliens up on the ceilings just about drove me bonkers!

I waited weeks for it, waited about an hour for the download and install, then found out two hours later that it's actually a patience game called "need 7 more players". This is why I sold my copy of "Nazi Zombies". I'll pass.

I have to agree with all that you said, playing as a marine I nearly crapped my pants in a good way, but I really need to play each of the campaigns before I head online again as I don't learn well under pressure and unfortunately I'm more like Lt Gorman than Ripley when it hits the fan

Playing as the Alien is like strapping yourself into a human gyroscope XD

Being the Predator makes you feel like your the movie, and your only challenge is someone who hasn't succumbed to nausea playing as the alien, but then this is mainly because they are low to the ground.

Also I have to agree with the Marine, playing as them is like the scene from Die Hard with a Vengence where basically you wear a sandwich board saying please kill me now.

But you know… they mostly come out at night… mostly. XD
