[quote name='AwRy108']I've heard this is extremely short; I mean, like 2-3 hours. Thoughts?[/QUOTE]
I beat it in ~4-5 hours, over the course of a few nights. Once you know the layout, you can cut a substantial amount of time off of that in replays since you don't need to explore to find the hidden stuff anymore.
Excellent game, great atmosphere & sound, fantastic 2d art and animation.
I have no idea what Gameboy280 is talking about, or what he expected of the game. The controls were smooth and responsive, & the combat is perfectly suited for the environment you play in. It is NOT a guns-a-blazing Contra/Gunstar Heroes kind of affair, but a Metroid-vania style game. Only thing I can think of is that sometimes the Aliens will dash past/knock you down before you can get a bead on them, but that can be compensated by just being cautious or spamming the roll move.
Was worth it @ $30 when I bought it at launch, I say it's more than worth it @ $20. Also, Wayforward produces nothing but pure gold, I have yet to play a bad game by them. They used a fair amount of elements from William Gibson's 'Alien3' script, which if you're a fan of the franchise, you know how awesome that is. Word is, the current-gen Aliens;Colonial Marines game that's also coming out uses a lot of elements from that as well, so "Infestation" might be considered the 'abridged' version of that game.
