Over 300 of your arachnid foe's can be tackled on screen at any given time. This has to be played to be believed!

was wandering how long it would be till they actually did a game of this film, it had everything for it. Guns/ Bad ass 'rough neck team'/ intresting and challenging enemies including my favorite the plasma bug and the brain bug that gained info from sucking brains... mmm brain

The textures on the arhnids looks gr8

[Sirtodge]

sadly the ones on the floor dont =/

i know its monor, but when you go to the trouble like they have of making what is probably a great game, you would think they could sort that out. in one of those shots the dead guy looks like he is floating on the floor too.
