Alien Front Online

Sega has basically taken their arcade property, which by itself was very limited in depth, and has notably enhanced it for the home market.

AFO really shines when you get eight players in the heat of battle, and when the game releases, players will know how war is truly hell& a crazy, trash-talking, teeth-grinding, fun type of hell.

As a multiplayer game it treads over most of the competition. The solo mode borders on evil thanks to its difficulty level.

Offers up a solid dose of good old-fashioned gameplay wrapped up in slick graphics and an innovative use of technology.

Brainless action-shooting doesn’t get more engaging than AFO. But without depth, the destruction eventually gets repetitious and tiring to the eyes.

If you've got the online connection, there's fun to be had with AFO. Sure, the online server could have been better geared for game matching and keyboard support on top of the voice chat wouldn't have hurt, but the simple action and smooth gameplay make for a decent game.

The real-time chat feature practically makes the game. There’s room for much more depth, but AFO is a great pick-up and play shooter, or 7-day rental.
