i recieved an advance copy and I'm so in love! Sydney looks so much like the the real Jennifer Garner and also has her unmistakable voice making it feel personal when enemies start attacking. You have to fight the urge to be careful with her- she's stunning but she has all the moves and you have to sorta think (not such a bad thing, right?) The action is pretty easy to pick up if you're into it and they make it surprisingly realistic so that you really feel like you've been thrown into the world of Alias...which is the only place I'll ever be. The original cast voices and freaky realism to our fave characters add a great deal of magic. It's easy to see why it took so long to make this game...everything was perfect: the familiar disguises like her Las Vegas outfit and my favorite- her black turtleneck/black jeans we only saw in the pilot episode, the perfection of the colors and pixels, the heartpounding techno music, the amazon-like enemy Anna Espinosa who has vanished from the show since the first season (good to see her), acquiring and using Marshall's zany tech and trying to outsmart Sloane and everyone while watching the time dwindle away made this game hard to beat but it can be done. I was a geek and ditched school & cheerleading practice to play for days determined to win like Sydney naturally would. I just can't get over what you can do as Sydney Bristow in this realm- it's exactly what every fan could ever dream of. THE BEST

I can't wait for it!

I have been waiting and waiting for this video game. If this video game is anything like the series, it will be great. For those who want to know what the game might be like, you can download Alias Underground on ABC.com. The video game will not be exactly like that, but you can get the idea.

3 stars because of the Characters only

I rated this game on the Characters and story only. It was very good to look at and the actors playing the characters make it worth checking out, but I thought the camera and gameplaying aspects are horrible if you aren't an experienced gamer. There is some hints, but geez the crazy camera and hard to handle controls had me throwing this game down after about an hour.

Alias scores again

I've read the reviews on this game about the "uncontrollable" controls and cameras and whatnot and I couldn't believe my eyes. I am an inexperienced gamer, and found the controls seemless and easy to use. As for the save points, they were plenty, and the game is pretty self-explanatory. It is at times as challenge, but that is why I, and I hope others, play a game is for a bit of challenge-- nothing too large.

The best part of this game is the voice-acting. Marshal Flinkman is a funny as ever, and the voices sound real. The characters look very real-life-- there are some obvious flaws in the FMVs, but for the most part it is pretty seamless.

For those who complain about the lack of "moves", I wonder if they read the strategy manuel. Using a combination of buttons, many moves can be used, and there is even a special "stealth attack" move that comes in very handy. There was obvious attention to detail with using the stealth control and various uses of seeing people. There is a stealth mode that allows for easy targeting of enemies, and a thermal vision mode as the well as the regular "seeing" mode. All of these work well and have specific purposes. You can have Sydney slink around walls, collect all manners of weapons (such as pool cues, shovels, night sticks, etc) to use against the guards and enemies. There are all kinds of operational gadgets used, and chances for interaction.

The weak spot in this game is simply the variety of getting around. Granted, it's a "stealth" game, but in almost every mission, the majority of it is slinking around the walls and taking out the guards. This is fun, and is interesting to an extent, but when it happens for EVERY mission it can become a bit tiresome. Also, there should be a little more story substance added to pump it up. The FMVs are few and far between, and Sydney just pops from one operation to another-- there ought to be soem more space and analyzing inbetween.

I had a blast playing this game, and I think that others would too. This is a replay game (I play it over and over). If you are a fan of Alias, you will love this game. If you don't watch the show, you'll still have a lot of fun playing it. All in all, 4 stars! It was a very satifying experience.

Alias Game- The Real Thing!

I am a BIG fan of the Alias show, and when I heard that a game was coming out, I could barely contain myself. I've never missed an episode, and so this was a big deal to me. Therefore, I did my research. From what I've seen through the Alias DVD and aliasthegame.com, the graphics are unbelievable. Sydney looks, moves, and even sounds like herself, not to mention the shot of Vaughn I saw that was also nearly identical to Michael Vartan. Also, you get to use a split screen in some parts of the game so Syd can hide and you can keep working. And the game doesn't limit you to playing as Sydney... you actually get a few missions as Vaughn! Marshalls newest inventions are pure genius, and this game is overall great! Finally, this game doesnt give you limits... you can work your way around things, and you arent stuck with one gun that always runs out of ammo. Sydney can pick up random objects (chairs, guitars, or anything else laying around) to fight off her enemies with. From what I've seen, this game is not one you'll want to miss!!!

Let you be the judge!

In my opinion, I know Alias isn't that good, judging from other member reviews. But, they said it isn't that good, because they thought it was a stealth-based game. It isn't. As all Alias show fans know, Alias is not just focused on stealth, as we see in some episodes, when Sydney's on a mission, Alias depends on how is Sydney's performance on a mission, if she has been spotted by a guard, then she have no other choice but to defend herself and use brawns. But if only Sydney can be too quiet, and be very stealthy, you can really see stealth in it.

Depending on the player, if he/she is too lousy and can't be too quiet, then obviously, his/her character will be caught. This is not just a stealth-based game, but also into action. Unlike Splinter Cell, your character really needs to be stealthy because when you are being spotted by an enemy, what can you do to defends yourself? Nothing. You only have limited moves into fight scenes, but Alias has multiple moves that'll alow her to defend herself. If you want stealthy focused games, then you should buy Splinter Cell instead. But if want some action in your stealth gaming experiance, then Alias would be the first on the list!

Alias isn't that great... avoid if possible

When I rented (thank God) Alias, I was expecting a female-led good looking game. After all, Jennifer Garner is in it, lending her voice. I am not a big fan of the TV show, but I was most definitely expecting a good game involving espionage and guns. Sadly, I was very wrong.

Alias is not what it's cracked up to be. When I started playing this game, as Sydney Bristow in a beautifully detailed silver outfit and what looks very much like Jennifer Garner, I just ran around, looking at the bad camera angles. The gameplay, in my opinion, is very off. I wasn't expecting just a beat-em-up game, but at least a game with style. This isn't.

Don't get me wrong, it doesn't only have cons. The best part of this game and the only reason I gave it a whole extra star than it deserves is because of the great graphics. You feel like you're watching Jennifer Garner in real live action. It was awesome.

But the rest of the game were flaws. If you love the TV show, then rent it. But don't, under any circumstances, by this game.

Alias the Game satisfies me while I wait for new episodes

This game is like being immersed in an episode of the great Alias tv show. With the show in hiatus until the new season, this game really fills a need for all the excitement and fun of the show. I love the characters, the action, the graphics and thrill of being Sid! This game is a wonderful treat for a fan.

It's cool

Alias, ABC's conspiracy-filled drama in the world of spies, espionage, and double agents, is practically custom made for a video-game treatment--lots of gadgets, lots of close shaves, and lots of intrigue. Thankfully, they all translate quite well to Acclaim's interactive version, too. To summarize Alias's complicated backstory would take much longer than this review--if you're reading this, it's probably because you already know the twisted plot (or maybe you just think Jennifer Garner, who plays lead character Sydney Bristow, is wicked hot). The game takes place late in the second season--SD6 is gone, Sloane and Sark are pals, everybody else is working for the CIA, and the hunt is on for Rimbaldi's "Machine." With the show's writers, seven actors, and series creator J.J. Abrams all on board, Alias is as authentic as a licensed game gets.
The gameplay feels a little Splinter Cell-ish, but it's certainly more forgiving than Sam Fisher's tasks; very generous save points make Sydney's mission enjoyable instead of mission impossible. Players will need to infiltrate locations with the help of various gadgets, vision modes (night, heat, etc) and, um, sexy outfits. Sooner or later it comes down to brawling, and the fight moves look gorgeous. With practice, Sydney backflips off walls and batters bad guys with amazing grace. Once you learn the controls, they respond sharply). The fully user-controlled camera can still leave you in a lurch, but locking onto one target in a group makes the frequent two- or three-enemy smackdowns winnable. Although the scriptwriters are straight from the show, Marshall and Vaughan's dialogue feels a little forced; otherwise, the large cast participation and television soundtrack give the game exactly the authentic audio flavor fans would want. Characters closely resemble their real-life counterparts, and the environments look lovely, but Syd's "nonreflective" spy suit quizzically shines. Still, Alias is a great-looking and easy-playing game that should make casual-gamer fans of the show very happy.

G.A.A Graphics Are Awesome
