Not true to the movie at all, ALIEN INSURRECTION ARCADE 2006 is way Better!

I bought this game back in December. I played it for about 2 solid hours. I come to realize that this is it. All the same levels are like this. So boring and so not like the movies, and the movement and the weapons in this game are terrible. Not to mention the animation of the Aliens, they look like they are break dancing or having an upright seizure, moving back and forth like a tiger pacing in a cage. The alien creatures are so predictable in this game, and not the least bit scary. The parasites things that crawl on the ceiling, walls, and floor is perfectly done, but I am going to have to say that even the DOOM games bring better action and better background and goals and weapon options compared to this Alien game. The PC game, ALIEN VS PREDATOR is by far way better than this, and is true to the plot and movie action.

Its too bad I spend 12 dollars on this game, I am going to re-sell it right away and let some other sucker buy it.

Not good for bringing back old memories

I remember playing this game back around 1996. I was nearly 12 years old when I first played this game and I thought, at the time, this was a really cool game. I really like the Alien movies (mainly the first and second one) and I was fairly excited to play any game based on my favorite movie.

Now, as a grown up (or maybe still a child at heart, lol), I came across this game again. Remembering all my childhood experiences with this game, I was fairly excited to relive it. Right after playing it for about 5 minutes, I started laughing at myself. I honestly don't know what I saw in this game. The game is so horribly crafted that it's really a surprise that they released this game at all. The graphics are ok (given the time it was released), and the weapons are kinda cool. However, that's all that's good about this game.

If you are buying this game to relive some childhood memories, I recommend not buying it because you're going to ruin some good memories. Just keep it as memories, don't relive it because you might see it differently.

A Very Boring game,

This game is so stupid like one of the revier's said all you do is find stuff and haveto find the exit door. And the last three levels are impossible to beat because they all look the same and you keep finding the same door you went through before. This game is like doom, you know the one where you just see the weapon. Dont' get me wrong the graphics were cool but it just sucked and the only way to beat it is if you cheat.

ALIEN trilogy -true to form

I played this when it came out in Japan and have been looking for a US version. Personally I feel it's a better FPS on the marine side than AVP1&2. Very dark and brooding. Excellent soundtrack and environments. The game actually goes in the order of ALIENS - ALIEN3 - ALIEN. Which works quite nicely.

true to the movie-weapons, aliens, Weyland/Yutani symbols and guards. Very familiar maps and objectives. Imagine DOOM on LV426..

the only cons are that 1. it seems hard to find now. and 2. it was never remade. It's on the PS and the graphics are to be expected for that system. Though like most Playstation games, the play control and game scheme makes up for it..

KEEP AWAY UNLESS YOU ARE A FAN OF THE ALIEN SERIES!!!

This game is old, and it shows. There is no Dual Shock capabilities, and pretty much everything is sprite animation except the walls and doors. It really looks like it could be a cell phone game. The story is: there is no story. You are pointlessly taken on an adventure through the areas of the first three movies in the series (the TRILOGY at the time, obviously) and pit against tons of enemies including human foes as well as the Alien creatures and their varients. This game isn't very creative, or well designed, but it is classic. In the end, and as a fan of the Alien series, I must say DO NOT play this game. It will only alter your perception of the series.

BORING!!!!

I bought my PS1 in 1999, and this was the 2nd game I bought. This game is only fun if you cheat. Mainly because it is too boring to spend countless times replaying the same level over and over again to finally advance to the next one and have the exact same objective. Find batteries or some item, then find the mission end door. This wasn't poorly made, by any means. It is a good early FPS, maybe I played it just too late. A definite buy if your an Alien fan though.

This is a great game. Yeah, the graphics are a bit creaky, but the atmospheric soundtrack more than makes up for that. My son and I have been playing this game together as a tag team for more than two years. It will fill you with anxiety, make your pulse pound, and--yes--it may even make you cry for your mama. If you liked the 1st two films, this is the closest you'll get to LV-426 (in this lifetime anyway) . . . at least until an upgraded version comes along. But try to snare a cluebook as well. We've been stuck at level 3/3 for about 3 months!

Solid near classic PS1 fun

Originally released way, way back a little after the release of the original Playstation; Acclaim's Alien Trilogy (you can tell this game is old considering the film series stopped being a trilogy when the fourth film Alien Resurrection was released a year later on) is a straight forward first person shooter in which you play as Ripley going through all the Xenomorph infested areas from the first three films. By today's standard's the graphics, gameplay, and weapon options are all pretty dated, but in it's day Alien Trilogy was one of the better FPS games to hit the PS1. All in all, if you still have your PS1 and dig older FPS games, you should give this one time gem a look.

Solid fun

If you want a [well priced], yet fulfilling few hours of destructive fun, this is your game. I found the ambience slightly disturbing, that's good. Fans of the films will appreciate all the locales being included. The graphics are extremely dated, but for fans of old school games who don't need extreme eye candy, this is a solid buy.

ok graphics, good game
