Comment: Excellent game. The humans vs. aliens gameplay is a refreshing change from the normal shooters (Playing as the Covenant in Halo does NOT count, because you can still drive, wield guns, and do everything a human can. In Tremulous, the Aliens are aggressive and fast, with only melee attacks and the ability to run on walls in some forms, while the humans are heavily reliant on their base defenses and weaponry. The game gets very intense when it is played on certain maps with a small number of players, with an atmosphere similar to the Aliens movies. The graphics are a bit outdated, but it is still amazingly enjoyable. You can simply play on the basic maps or you can download custom made maps off the web (no there is not a packed-in level editor). The humans start out with a basic assault rifle, but you can purchase more weapons (such as the flamethrower, laser cannon, pulse rifle, chaingun, etc.) and equipment such as the battlesuit and the jetpack. The aliens, on the other hand, can evolve from the basic builder or dretch, which can run very fast, climb on walls, and bite humans. The evolved form of the aliens range from the electrically-charged Marauder to the huge Tyrant, which can annihilate an entire unprepared human team singlehandedly. The game is very simple but is good for hours and hours of fun once you get past the 15-20 minutes or so of "Oh my god what on Earth is going on?!"
