Aliens: Fireteam Elite is a mix of classic team co-op campaign multiplayer and action-packed first-person shooter all set in the Alien Franchise universe. From the very beginning you can tell Cold Iron put a lot of attention into detail and the ability to customize everything. You can literally customize your character down to the type of magazine you reload into your M41A Pulse Rifle. On top of that, the Aliens references are everywhere. If you’re a fan of nostalgia, you are going to love this game.

The gameplay within the missions is very similar to Gears of War. Almost exactly the same, except you’re killing xenos, and lots of them. I specifically played as the Gunner and Demolition Marines. I love heavy guns, and the smart gun is going to be your best friend if you’re not great at shooting. If you’re a fan of James Cameron’s Aliens you are going to feel right at home with this one. Only downfall is you can’t play cross console, so if you have some buddies who want to play with you make sure you’re all on the same console. Aliens: Fireteam Elite is very entertaining and most fun to play with friends. I am looking forward to playing through all the missions. Hope everyone enjoys!
