In other words, no. As far as the story goes, a "special" research team is checking out a crashed UFO, and "special" troops are dispatched when the thing inevitably spawns some crazy critters. Nothing generic about that special story at all. The graphics seem okay (especially that hope-raising intro video), but the whole thing is a little jerky and the corridors might become too repetitive.
Still, waiting on a hands-on experience to judge its merit, because developing a smooth, fluid FPS for the DS is hard enough as it is before even thinking about decent design.

Hey this doesn't look bad. It is like a portable doom 3. Why the hell games like this are coming to the DS and no the wii?

You say it looks uninteresting but then complain about...story? This is a videogame, who gives a flying fuck about story? You want story, go watch a video.

It doesn't look bad, but it doesn't look good.
The enemies seem very unanimated and simple. I'll just wait until I can actually play it.

I might drool over this if they could make it just a touch darker.
All the bright colors turn me off.

wow, that definitely is jerky.
this isn't the same as that Moon game, though, right? Cause THAT looks really promising.

The jerkiness is a bit sickening (in a literal sense), and wow... It looks like pure distilled generic FPS. That's not a bad thing in itself if it plays well, but the environments look pretty forgettable and I swear most of them are stapled together from the boring bits of games like SS2, HL, Far Cry (the indoor bits), Doom...

I feel completely DOOMED to buy this! cause I'm a sucker for anything that even hints at things like 'space marines', giant alien bugs, pulse rifles, outerspace and planets not totally unlike our own!!!
