Fox Interactive and Argonaut have done a praiseworthy job of bringing the second Aliens title to the Sony Playstation. Make no mistake about it - Alien Resurrection is a superbly crafted game, it's intense and atmospheric, possessing in spades the vital ingrediants that any definitive Aliens game requires. The graphics are excellent for the PSX's capabilities, the sound FX and ambience are spot on, the AI is impressive, the weapons beefy, and the Aliens suitably nasty. With ten huge levels of xenomorph-blasting action and some very nice Half-Life-style scripted sequences cutting into the action, this is one game that no Playstation-owning Aliens fan should be without. The ONLY reason I've not given it 5 stars is due to the somewhat fiddly control system - but even that can be overcome with practice and time.

BUY IT NOW!!!

After all this time waiting for alien resurrection, i finaly got it and i was surprised with the bad controls. I mean why the HELL did they release it without fixing the horrible and frustrating controls. The game's atmosphere is scary and the graphics are ok, but without the solid and smooth gameplay, it's just another frustrating game. Another thing is that the game is so goddamn HARD(dont get me wrong, i like hard games)and with the bitchy controls, it makes it impossible to play. I recommend ALIEN TRILOGY which was released in 1996 and still is a classic and a must buy for action and 1st person fans(also alien fans) SHAME ON YOU FOX AND ARGONAUT.

This would be 5 stars , but the graphics arn't like Syfon Filter 2 . The cool part about this game is the baby Aliens busting out of your chaters chest . If you dont want baby Aliens' busting out of your chest get cheats from Gamepro.com

I loved this game! First of all, I loved all the Alien Movies because the Aliens are so scary! This game, was also equally scary! They recommend playng this game in the dark, and I did, and it freaked me out! I just got a Playstation, and this was my first game. This is a great, exciting game! I'm only in the beginning stages, and it is giving me goosebumps and I haven't even seen an alien yet! The ONLY reason why I didn't give this game 5 stars is because the controls for this game are really hard, and they take a long time to get used to, and that there are also guards and other people with guns you have to kill, which I think ruins the game a little because your supposed to be alone with only the aliens, so why are the people there? Anyways, other then that, the game is really good, and you should buy it! You will not be disappointed. :)

another unwanted sequel

graphics: a bit sub par. environments are all the same sets over and over. the aliens are in the ... flat-3d sprite-like technology from the original "Doom."

game play: it's not terrible but it just isn't that fun. i've got maybe twenty playstation titles (some, like "Vagrant Story" or "Siphon Filter" or even "Spider Man" i like well enough to continue playing on my PS2 -- there's only so much "Tekken Tag" you can take) and this is the only one i haven't even considered revisiting.

there are tons of great PS1 titles out there for cheap now. try one of them instead. or save your pennies for the new Game Boy in march, or "Metal Gear Solid: Sons of Liberty" or just about anything else.

"Alien Resurection" (like its big screen namesake) would have been better off staying dead.

Alien Resurrection: a deep pool of thick atmosphere

Many reviewers have given this game a mediocre or even low review, but I think it deserves much, much more. The tension is everywhere, and there's aliens around every corner. The controls take getting used to, but once you get the hang of them, you wouldn't want anything different. Definitely one of the best PSX games ever, and one of the best single player experiences on any platform.

Alien Ressurection the game, makes the movie of the same title look like an Oscar winning masterpiece (well, ok maybe not). The only reason it got two stars was for the awesome atmosphere and graphics that this game has to offer plus the level of geniune fear and suspense that it conjurs up.

Now for the bad...nothing ever really happens in this game. At times, it is downright BORING. You wander around in the pitch black half the time waiting for something really bad to happen...but it never does. When I say this game is dark, I mean dark as in no light. You can't see half the time and the worthless flashlight that you have runs out of batteries every five minutes. The controls are sloppy and unnecessarily difficult. The weapons/ammo are limited and you really have to search for them in some of the later levels which makes the game seem contrived, like they added that feature only to make the game longer. Alien Trilogy was a much better game. Like the Alien movies, too many sequels makes for a predictable and downright boring ride.

ALIEN ROCKS!!

Out of my 30 games this is the best one! It`s constant horror and action, all the creepiness of Alien is captured in this game to give you the heebie jeebies! But I got to tell you the M is well deserved. This game will keep you on the edge of your seat the whole time!
