There are a handful of locations where a well co-ordinated team effort can put all the marines down at once but there are too many areas where attacking as an Alien is futile. the marines can just sprint from objective to objective. It's not as dynamic as it should be, but it's much closer to giving me that feeling we're all looking for than any Aliens game has come.Įscape suffers from some of the same issues that the first L4D had. Then you have claymores, proximity mines, motion detectors, and if you run around doing the objectives, you get more points and can end up winning even if the other team 'survives' longer. and set turrets in certain spots to really barricade yourself. You can lock down entire buildings, weld doors, close shutters, etc. The tracker itself makes it a very immersive, Aliens-like experience, and Survivor mode has a lot of surprises in the levels. It definitely needs some balancing, but it's there for me, at least. I just put some playing cards and grinning teeth on my helmet. Throw in the customization options for fun and you've got quite an addictive little game. This doesn't even cover the many different attacks and abilities you can unlock for each Alien and the strategies/teamwork they create, or the weapons and gadgets you get as a marine. Typical, no teamwork, running right at the player, and little knowledge of how to use the Alien. We all proved it on Escape, where I have only seen Alien teams die and die and die. XD But you can turn around almost any game with good Alien teamwork and coordination. Prime, Vakarian, and I had this poor Alien team completely neutered. It's not as dynamic as it should be, but it's much closer to giving me that feeling we're all looking for than any Aliens game has come.
