Game over man Review: Alien Trilogy

So the first ever game I ever played was Alien Trilogy for the Playstation. The plot is an alternate take on Aliens and Alien3. Ripley and a platoon of Marines come to LV426 to check on the colony only for the entire unite bar Ripley (Sporting her Alien3 buzzcut )  and Bishop (sounding like Matt Tracker of Mask) to be left to deal with the xenos. So the games a basic Doom clone FPS thats set in the aliens universe. The graphics at the time were good but havent aged well and the xeno's them selves are sprites along with the other foes you fight. These Include. Warrior's,Runner's both newborn and adult, Chestbursters, Facehuggers and 3 Queens. You also have an array of Weyland Yutani merc's that include colonies private security, Combat Synthetic's, Weyland's personal marine core and Wayland Yutani Commandos. Some foes go down easy while other want to soak up as much of your ammo as possible before shoving you into the here-after.

The Weapons include, Pistol, Shotgun, Flamethrower,Pulse-Rifle and Smartgun along with some explosives. Pickups are plentyful and a you'll need them on later levels as the warrior's just want to make you empty clip after clip into them.

While it has not aged well I still find myself playing it and enjoying the levels fairly accurate layout and movies relics like the APC's in the garage, The E.E.V in the main Prison chamber and the Jockey's body in the Boneship. The weapons and enemies are cool and if your an Aliens fan you'll love them.

The story goofs up alot of things like the prison being on LV426 and not Fury or how the Atmosphere processors melt down is going blow the planet and not just the colony but its a Doom Clone.
Last but not least at least let yourself die once to check out the Death FMV's.Its rather hard now to come buy but if you search online you can find a cheap copy on Ebay or in your local thrifty.  So while its not an amazing game now it still is fun and if your an Alien fan like me you gotta pick it up.

Oh and for all you cheating bastards here's a code you might want.
