This short article is in need of work. You can help Sega Retro by adding to it.
Aliens: Colonial Marines is a first-person shooter developed by Gearbox Software and published by Sega for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and Windows PCs in 2013. It had been in development since 2006.
The game is based upon the 1986 Aliens film, revolving around a team of marines sent to search for the missing Lt. Ripley and the rest of the team from the film.
Aliens: Colonial Marines was the subject of mixed-to-negative reviews at the time of release, with users citing poor AI, numerous glitches and significant deviations from the game's demo, such as lower quality lighting and production values. The response, combined with pre-existent delays meant a Wii U version, developed by Demiurge Studios was ultimately cancelled.

History
Release
In PAL regions, no "standard" physical version of Aliens: Colonial Marines was ever released. In addition to Collector's Edition bundles and the UK-exclusive Extermination Edition, most PAL countries received the so-called Aliens: Colonial Marines Limited Edition package, containing four extra characters, a flamethrower and extra customisation options (available to download separately as the "Limited Edition Pack"). This ironically leads to a situation where the "Limited Edition" is actually the most common version of the game in these territories (i.e. it is less "limited" than the other editions).
