Alien Isolation on PS3 – The DVDfever Review

A few other random obsevations:

• At one point, some bad guys were chasing Axel and I, then an incident happened, and after a brief cutscene, all of a sudden they’ve stopped chasing us? Why?

• In fact, you seem more at peril from the random humans, who always want to sh oot you, than the alien itself!

• The graphics aren’t exactly stellar. I know the PS3 has been around for the best part of a decade, but it can still pump out some splendour when required. However, Alien Isolation feels like the same corridor after another, and the CGI scenes look rather jerky, too.

• Sound-wise, there’s an audible hum from the electronics that populate your environment, but in the background it tries to build tension and just doesn’t manage it because they’re isn’t any onscreen.

• Survivor Mode allows you to simply run away from the alien, if you can… He stomps around and, once he notices you, it’ll take little time for him to bite your head off.

• Want to see something interesting? A bug! I fell into the floor! (see below)
