The reviews for Aliens: Infestation are pouring in! The game's out now in Europe, but stay frosty North America – it's coming your way on October 11.
Here's a glimpse of what the critics are saying:
- Official Nintendo Magazine – 82%
"A lengthy game that takes the controls of Contra, combines them with the non-linear map exploration of the Metroid and Castlevania games, and chucks Hollywood's most terrifying movie monsters into the mix." - CVG / NGamer – 8.0
"Like a chestburster, Infestation arrives out of nowhere to great surprise. Unlike a chestburster, its dinky alien thrills are very much welcomed." - Eurogamer – 8/10
"There's a demonstrable love for the lore…All this is brought to life with some splendid sprite work; it's the kind of game we kid ourselves all 16-bit games used to look like" - TheGamersHub – 4/5
"This title is a must for any Alien fan."
