I'm not going to litter the review with comparisons between the two versions, however, because a) they're a waste of time if you didn't see the psx version, and b) I only played it once. Mind you, they're right (about the game, not my head), it did first appear on the Playstation where some people thought it was really fab and others didn't - but hey, that's the crazy kind of multi-personal world we live in.

Of course you have, bladder head, came the reply. There's just you and the dark, moody music, the pulse-quickening hum of the motion tracker, and two sets of jaws at every turn.On first loading up Alien Trilogy I thought, Uh oh, seen it all before. Like the films, Alien Trilogy employs incredible savvy in how it uses sound. The weapons also enjoy their trademark sounds from the films, including the high-pitched jam of the pulse rifle. Ranging from a Beretta to a steadicam-mounted smart rifle, Acclaim provides enough firepower for the experienced Marine to show every Alien Queen who's boss. Whimpering people are encrusted in the Alien-ified walls (who explode when you shoot them, or spurt chestbursters to punish the loitering Colonial Marine), towering Alien Queens that attack with relentless abandon, sleeping tanks (inspired by the films), and eggs that lazily slip open when a hurting Marine can least afford it.Īlien Trilogy also delivers the arsenal Colonial Marines will die to get their hands on. Simply put, this is an excellent video game and to date it's perhaps the best Doom-clone to bloody the consoles.įrom the colony of LV-426 to the Alien spaceship (which brought the plague to the infested prison colony), all of the 30-some levels pay tribute to the films. Every now and then a game spawned from film hits the mark, and Alien Trilogy captures the gruesome essence of one of Hollywood's best high-tension thriller/action offerings.
