I may have a dumb question but it needs an answer. I recently bought a copyof the cd on Amazon and it turned out to be the german version. My question is will the cheat codews for the american version work on the german version?

this game is one of the best fps - it is all about atmosphere, not about who has the fastest reflex like most (to me dull) fps like tactic shooters etc... it has one of the most amazing atmosphere i experienced in videogaming. it is on the surface pretty similar to doom3 (both mostly dark hallway corridors)- and i dont know EXACTLY why doom3 sucked and this was so awesome , but in this one you actually feel lost and scared, a major factor is THAT THERES VERY LITTLE AMMO SUPPLIES THROUGHOUT the game. whenever you find ammo it IS a big thing. thats pretty unique since i dont know any other shooter that does that to this extend, so this feels very authentic, real and challenging but its never unfair (but tough alot of the times). i remember i was constantly on the edge of my seat sweating, even when you could not hear anything threating, because it is very little light in the game most of the time you concentrate at the sounds of your environment, so when you HEAR an alien you can tell pretty good tell how many rooms or hallways or far away they are. and these aliens really do look scary so you feel the threat and fear...
+atmospheric +hard but fair and balanced difficulty also a unique case where i would recommend the censored version over the uncensored. get the german version (maybe uk has censored too i dont know)BECAUSE: they cut out the human enemies, so theres only aliens and you, which gives a more abandonded threatening and isolated atmosphere!!!!!!! so many of my favorite games like this one, privateer 2 , dream web , death rally etc etc get so bad reviews i dont get it. and boring games like all these well known shooters of recent years are praised so much from far cry to all the tactic shooters edit: wanna add this to the doom3 comparison first theres not an emeny around every corner here, so youre not as desensetized+ it feels way more satisfying to kill an alien also you really LIVE this game as opposed to just a quick shootemup style in doom3 ... eg i would actually hide and run back the hallway from the aliens, just to survive or get better chances for attacks, would never do that in doom3, they only went for the cheap scares Last edited by baracus; 21-10-2010 at 11:13 PM. |

Probably much better than the recent style-over-substance-crime as called Alien:Colonial Marines.
Wait... there wasn't that much style in it, was it? |

Well, if it had no substance then the ratio of style over substance would be infinite...

Installing on Windows 7 64bit
I can not install the game or run it. When I try to play it tells me to install it. When I try to install it I see a flash of a command prompt window then nothing. Please help.
