Product features:
- This game picks up where the classic horror film leaves off -- you play Captain Blake, a soldier sent to Antarctica to find the scientists who were the Thing's first victims
- In 11 frightening levels, you'll have to lead your team against disgusting monsters, from the scuttling head-spiders and human-like walkers to the gigantic multi-tentacled level bosses
- Trust is important here -- isolation and paranoia will get to your team, and any mistakes you make will turn them against you
- Control your squad and keep them calm as they face off with spectacular and horrible aliens who can do tremendous damage
- A new world of fear and isolation is waiting for you to conquer it, if you can survive against The Thing.

Customer Review: The Thing for Xbox
Summary: 3 Stars
The game is just okay. Haven't had a chance to play it for long, so my review is premature.
Description of The Thing
The Thing takes you on a new mission full of terrifying and shocking confrontations with an enemy no human has faced before!Based on the same elements that made the movie so enjoyable--fear, suspense, and the possibility that your teammate might be infected--The Thing lets players creep into action with the help of several nonplayer characters (NPCs), whom you use to protect and aid your group. Using a core team of engineers, medics, and soldiers, players must manage the level of trust in, and fear of, you that these characters experience. They react to your actions and might betray you if they think you are the Thing. Conversely, you must constantly monitor which one of them might be infected. Other characters must trust you, but if they fear you, actions as drastic as coercion are necessary. For example, if a soldier doesn't have confidence in you, you may have to put your gun to his head to convince him you're not the Thing... and for his sake, he'd better believe.
