Decent, if disgusting shooter. Has the wierd configuration of looking over the shoulder and controls could be better but graphically amazing and the story line is very good.
A cool feature is that you interact with holograms scattered over the surface areas of everything which is a very cool touch. As well the lighting and sound is incredible; it will keep you jumping. Some scenes are right out of the original Alien with the protagonist creeping down tight corridors with dimly lit strobes and scattered shadows. Worth a play.
