Alien Resurrection
ALIEN RESURRECTION follows the same basic plot as the film. Scientists are able to bring Lt. Ellen Ripley back from the grave. Unfortunately, they also bring back the acid-spewing menaces that follow her around. As a way of getting rid of the aliens, the installation has been rigged to self-destruct. Take control of Ripley as tries to fight her way through the ship and its unwelcome guests. Use handguns, rifles, auto-turrets, ice blasts, and an ultra powerful flame-thrower to journey through 10 levels of face- huggers, chest-bursters, and other alien warriors. Luckily, several members of the crew have survived, and after Ripley saves one of them, he or she will become a playable character. For the best experience, play the game in the dark and become absorbed by the atmosphere. Play ALIEN RESURRECTION, and help Ripley live to fight another day.
One of the better aspects of Alien Resurrection must be the assortment of gear that you can use. The game has all the standards, from pistol to shotgun. The flamethrower and grenade launcher are also included, and I was very impressed with a laser’s effect on aliens. If you want to go out like John Woo, they give you the dual pistols, but the electric gun shouldn’t be forgotten. Due to the fact that this game is dark, you must also carry an all-to-important flashlight. To make the game hard, the flashlight only goes for a few seconds and then has to be recharged.

The only really bad part of the game must be the controls. One analog stick moves your head while the other moves the body. This becomes a huge problem when you have three aliens coming at you and you can’t find them because your head is going one way and your body is doing something completely different. This is, at best, very hard to overcome, and may be enough reason for many people to put the game down for good. But, if you can get past this, you have a challenging, interesting game.
Overall, this makes for a good time. The mood is set very well, and the graphics are good enough in most places to be enjoyed. The soundtrack is not so annoying that you want to throw it out the window, and if you like a challenging game with many complex tasks to be done and puzzles to be solved, this is one for you.
