Product Description
Altered Species is an intense game of stealth, survival and all out skill that takes place during a cold, wet night in a suburban west coast city in the US. Each year, millions of people from all corners of the world merely disappear without a trace. The existence of Nightwalkers - vampires who stalk to hunt living humans under the cover of darkness - has been kept secret since antiquity. The millions who fell prey to their hunger have been treated as missing persons; questions raised as to the reasons of their disappearance have remained unanswered. It has taken humans nearly a century to comprehend the true nature of these Nightwalkers. Considering the Nightwalkers' lack of restraint in controlling their violent impulses and the magnitude of the damage they're likely to inflict, it's clear that the passive protections humans have relied on in the past will not hold up for much longer. The American Information Bureau (AIB), an elite task force, has been called to arms as a defensive first-strike. Their covert mission is to annihilate the bloodthirsty Nightwalkers; their mantra is "Fang for fang." Rain, which muzzles the keen senses of the Nightwalkers, has begun to fall, signaling the beginning of battles humans cannot afford to lose.

I bought this game for $10 in the clearance bin at a store yesterday, well there is a reason it is in a clearance bin for $10. It is JUNK! Enough said.

Didn't really get much fun out of this game, based on 3 hours into it, there is still no "game" to play. There are cutscenes after cutscenes (in game graphix, no video), you spend the majority of the time you do get to use your character sneaking from point "a" to "b", and maybe you get to kill a vampire on the way. And the vampires? One hit your dead. One hit throws you into the air (there has been no counter or dodge as far as I can tell) the second hit finishes you off. 3 hours and I think I've come across 5 vampires. Very very weak game. Just save your cash and look for something else.

The above review was surely penned by an Artoon or Ignition employee. This game is as bad a current generation game as there is (Metacritic will back me up here). This is a substandard product and should not be purchased by anybody for reasons too numerous to expand upon here. If I could assign half stars I would. Lift your game Artoon.

This game is not a blow zombies heads off game. It is a strategy. The story is that these vampires called night-walkers are pretty much destroying the city eating everyone. A special team of spec. ops are put together to put a stop to the destruction. The game play is over the shoulder and a bit hard to control, but has a feature that saves it's self by being able to put your weapons away. The game is fun, scary, it stratigic and provides hours of difficult yet entertaining gameplay.
