I'm going to say this here, before you read on thinking you'll find yet another praising review: This game sucks majorly.

Let's see... So you're some dude on a ship en route to repair another ship, with Token Black Guy and Token Tightassed Rebellious Chick. Upon reaching your destination, though, and as expected of a survival horror game, everything goes to hell, and fast.

Then you're basically alone, and have to slowly learn a lot of annoying ways to combine mouse buttons and keyboard (EA: We has like 50 different actions! See if you can remember them all, assholes!) but all that doesn't help the fact the main character moves like a pregnant whale in the middle of the desert, and that the camera rotation makes Parasite Eve 2's camera controls look awesome.

Also, you have all these menus to manage your items, check stupid conversations and uninteresting vidtapes you've already heard before, remind you of what the heck you're supposed to be doing right now... And all that, without pausing the game! Awesome! Specially in those rare times where you're very low in health and need to heal without the five aliens clawing at your neck killing you before you get to use a medkit.

And since I mentioned the aliens... Freaks with big spike-like arms, freaks that crawl around the floor or jump around the walls, and even tentacle-raping baby aliens of DOOM! OMG! Now, the AI is pretty retarded, old-fashioned "run straight at player and slash him open" which really isn't anything special. The only challenge in a combat is trying to first locate the enemy (rarely do they not backstab you,) then remembering just how to shoot, push them away, slow them down or whatever you want to do, then finally, making your armored whale turn in the right direction, aim, and... Om nom nom nom nom, you're alien food nao!

Seriously, cheap scares, 345 different actions to perform, a map that's more linear than a chopstick, characters that are so token you know what they're going to say and how they will react to each other (including the main guy's girlfriend-or-something-that-turns-evil-alien token gun fodder) and it's really, really, really sad when the FIRST weapon they give you is the most useful one in any and all situations (and if you get used to the aiming style of the game, it's also the best one for surgically removing limbs off enemies.)

Now, seriously EA? Go the ******** back to making racing games, football games and Sims 3. If your FPSs are going to be like this one, then you guys should not be left near any FPS idea, ever again.

I give this game a 2/10, if only because the music isn't sucky... All the time.
