Abrams adepts will recall a similar story, of young people banding together to face a ravenous monster, from Cloverfield, the 2008 alien-invasion film he produced.
You're back playing the role of Commander Shepard, a paramilitary hero trying to repel a massive forthcoming alieninvasion only to be unceremoniously killed at the beginning of the game.
By his own admission, Burton was an introverted, destructive child – he would try to convince the boy next door that an alieninvasion had begun or would tear the heads of his toy soldiers.
