Alien Breed: Evolution - Episode 1

Alien Breed™ Evolution (Episode 1) marks the rebirth of a gaming legend that has laid dormant for years. While the core gameplay remains intact, the technology, online component, and production values have improved immeasurably for your pleasure. The first episode of three has you battling alone or partnering up against the "breed," offline or online over five action-packed single-player levels and three multiplayer levels. Including bar-raising visuals and immersive gameplay, Alien Breed Evolution (Episode 1) is the definitive must-have action horror title you've been waiting for!

• Gripping storyline: The first thrilling episode of a trilogy relays the events of what happened on the doomed space station and just how the "breed" was unleashed.
• Top-end graphics and audio: Experience high quality and attractive visuals, all rendered in high-definition resolution, and rich, atmospheric sound effects. Epic's Unreal Engine3 powers the game and sumptuous visuals.
• Extensive single-player content: Battle your way through five challenging levels of horror and action as you reel with fear at what's happening before your very eyes.
• Multiplayer action: Get together with a friend and work as a lethal two-man unit in order to combat the "breed" from the same console or online with Xbox LIVE®.
• Intelligent enemies: Swarms of highly intelligent enemies not only see and hear the player, but also smell their blood! Brain and brawn will be required to defeat them.
• Realistic environments: The rich game universe is populated with the savage and bloodthirsty breed, and interactive non-player characters to help, hinder, and advance the story.
• Show me more-ability: Each episode concludes with a cliffhanger, drawing you into the full story.
• Weapons system: Six destructive, high-impact, visually stunning weapons are at your disposal to wipe out the horrors.
• Stylised storytelling: Lush comic-book style panels carry the story and characterisation as the narrative unfolds.
• Rankings and leaderboards: Co-op multiplayer, online stats, and leaderboards are all featured.
