An Alien Fans Dream

Alien Resurrection has to be my favorite Alien movie of the legacy and I was very pleased with the game. Sure, its a PS1 game but that doesn't change the fact that it is a great game. I think that the controls are great and very easy (unlike other reviewers). Many people have complained that using two analog sticks to move(one moves and strafes, the other looks)is tough but if you have ever played Max Payne on PS2, then I'm sure you'll get along just fine with these controls. As for the rest of the game, it is truely a masterpiece. The atmosphere is great and you actually feel that you are in the USM Auriga, traveling through the dark, seemingly abandoned tunnels, trying to escape the horrifying aliens that appear out of the shadows. There is no music (which adds suspense and panic), just the sounds of the creaky hull of the ship, Father: the super computers voice, and the breath of the nearby aliens. The sounds are actually recorded from the movie itself! The graphics are just the normal PS1 graphics you see in most PS1 games but they are just fine with me. The aliens can walk, jump, spit acid, communicate with eachother, and even crawl on walls and ceilings! And not only are there your standard aliens, but there are facehuggers that actually latch on to your face and put a chest burster in you that will explode from your chest after a while! Cool! And of course, as you've guessed, the alien queen and the newborn are in the game as well. This game is recommended to be played in the dark and it should be. It scares me to death in a good way in the dark and it makes you feel even more "in the game" in the dark. This is a must have game for any alien fan or just anyone who likes 1st person shooters. Go buy this game!! You won't be disappointed...

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 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!

Downright freaky

This is one of the coolest PlayStation games ever. The film clips are one of the best ones I've seen in any movie-based game. You have the oppertunity to take down aliens with a cool arsenal of weapons. The creators of this game recommend that you play this game in the dark. I tried doing it and............OH BOY! It's awesome. I can't remember playing anything scarier. I suggest that all PlayStation owners should get this game, but be sure to play it in the dark.

The weapons are great and so are the aliens. The graphics are what really makes this game great. Buy it!

To really appreciate this game you need to play it with a playstation mouse, other reviews have raved about the graphics and how scary the game is but complained about the bad control method. I agree completely that to play the game with your standard analogue joypad is frustrating, but with a mouse it plays like any other FPS on the PC. If you don't have a mouse buy one it's worth it just to play this game at it's full potential.

somehow, just like the movie, Alien the game has managed to remain relevent years after it was relaced. i think this is because they both use the same philosophy when it comes to horror. both the game and the movie are striped down to the basics of what makes a situation scary, no BFGs or ghosts or long complicated plots, just you, alone, in the dark. but just how alone are you?

(when i say Alien the movie, i dont mean Alien Resurection, whoever dirrected that movie should be shot)

In Alien Resurection (the game) you play as Ripply, you must work your way through the environments of Alien Resurection (the movie) and eventualy escape. the envronments arnt to creative, but their filled with the two scaryest things in existace, monsters, and dark. Amo is scarce and enemies are not, you must get the most out of what you have or die.
this game is insanly hard though, dont expect to beat it in a day.

its so cheap anyway, what do you have to lose?

Alien Resurrection is simply superb!

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!!!
