Natural Selection blends first-person combat with real-time strategy. It features intense "marines vs. aliens" teamplay, where one marine can become Commander. The Commander plays from a top-down perspective and leads live players. Aliens, on the other hand, can mutate into more powerful or useful forms.

NS has atmospheric indoor sci-fi environments full of steam and smoke, and features custom orchestral music from the award-winning Jeremy Soule.

It is a freely-available Half-life modification, and since its release in October of 2002, has had over 2 million downloads, and has 10,000 unique players every day.

Overall Rating: exceptional

Bottom Line: Very addictive, try it!
This was the best Half-Life mod that I had ever played. The RTS/FPS combo was executed almost perfectly and only continued to improve as the betas went on. It is a very fun and solid multi-player game experience. Although it takes a good deal of time to master both races, it is well worth it in the end.
Learning Curve: Takes a while
