In fact, from my personal game-playing experience at New York Comic-Con, it is a lot harder. The game gives you an arsenal of heavy duty firepower - flamethrower, RPGs, pulse rifle, etc. - as well as the assistance of Android Bishop (played, again, by Lance Henriksen) in a mission to eradicate the Facehugger, Chestburster, Drone, Runner and Queen xenomorphs.
Playable in campaign and multiplayer modes (which also allows you to play as an alien), the game is a creepy horror thrill that keeps you jumpy. But don't just take my word for it, check out the "bad ass" trailer below and pick up the game when it's released Feb. 12
