for those who ever saw any of the highly entertaining Alien motion pictures, this is the game that first brought it to the FPS style and carrying on to the more successful game 'Aliens Online'. this game did not introduce anything new in terms of functionality or gameplay. the creators did not even attempt a 'free look' aiming system that ID Software easily pulled off a year later with the joint production with Ravensoft called 'heretic'. the controls are customizable which is a lt down because the controls were very awkward. lastly the game, like other movie to game adaptations, wasnt true to the film series, which didnt help either. if you try this you'll find yourself trying to bear the game from start to finish - it's that hard to take...
