Then don't buy the game.  I'm not telling you to buy the game, I'm just saying that playing the multiplayer offers a nice experience.  If you don't have any gaming friends, the game is probably not worth buying at all.  It just depends on your situation.

I think it's important to remind people that games with low review scores are sometimes more than the sum of their parts. Some people have difficulty believing that even though a game is rated 3.5, it can still be a solid chunk of fun.

No need for that since Gamespot will tell you if it's more than the sum of its parts with its cute little emblems :p

Oddly enough, I have P.N.03 and had some fun with it while taking it's flaws and frustrations in stride. Then again, Vanessa's butt and trailer devulging sure helped things on their way (can't get enough of those hearty beats).

Can't say Alien Syndrome has enjoyed such prepared appeal. I think somewhere along the anticipation line, I was hoping for a provoking dungeon crawling experience (putting those words together probably should have raised flags in the first place) and it seems the game has droped the ball a bit in that respect. Mind you, I didn't take the 3.5 as is and read on to conclude that maybe the rating was a bit too harsh compared to other reviews.

In the end, having a dungeon crawler to carry around is a passing fancy that I feel reluctant to settle lower for. I think licks with Crimson Land, P.N.03, and Summon Night: SCS 1 & 2 have satisfied the itch that Alien Syndrome would have scratched.

. . . now I feel hypocritical since I'm still in want of another Warriors game, a series which is probably just as repeatitive as (if not more than) Alien Syndrome has been reviewed to be. Then again, Warriors does have ancient China/feudal Japan/Gundam...
