Rating Summary
This is a first-person shooter, based on the Aliens movie franchise, in which players assume the role of a space marine battling alien creatures. Players use machine guns, pistols, shotguns, flamethrowers, and grenade launchers to kill the fantastical creatures, as well as human enemies. Players can also engage in hand-to-hand combat, sometimes resulting in depictions of up-close stabbing. Combat is fast-paced and frenetic, with realistic gunfire and explosions, cries of pain, and blood-splatter effects when characters are shot. Some weapons can decapitate or dismember enemies. Cut scenes also depict intense acts of violence: an alien creature bursting out of a character's chest; an alien creature slowly impaling a human character. Large pools of blood stain several environments, and corpses are depicted lying on the ground, tied to walls by alien webbing. The words “f**k,” "sh*t," and “a*shole” can be heard in the dialogue.
