Hello to everyone and this is my 1st ever Vizzed PS1 review here

Alien and the rest of the Alien trilogy was 1 quality movie marathon. If you have not watched it I would seriously consider finding the time and watch it as its gripping its frightening and at times gory to watch

The Alien Trilogy was so popular that they decided to turn this the successful film franchise into a PS1 game and going by 1st impressions it looks good. So without me mumbling on anymore its time to crack on with the review of the Alien Trilogy PS1 game 


GRAPHICS 4
As I said on paper this looked like this was going to be one of the best PS1 games made. Unfortunately it turns out to be a little bit of a shocker i'm afraid. The graphics when you 1st start the game look a bit hurried. I would rate some Nintendo Entertainment System games and some Nintendo 64 games better than this i'm afraid. Sometimes the graphics look a little too dark and its only when your through halfway the entire game graphics start to slightly improve. Looking on the bright side though the aliens or as they are called the xenomorphs do look good. Overall The graphics for me for a PS1 game were iffy and in truth I don't really have that much to say about it because there is not that much to say i'm afraid

SOUND 5
The sound for Alien Trilogy does not get much better either. Infact more than anything I actually found this the worst sound game I ever owned on the PS1 which for me was a real shame since it was made by some big game developers at the time. Just when you also thought it could not sound any bad or worse than this i'm afraid it does. Theres music which although can be turned off. If you play the game with music you barely notice any of the alien sounds and only really notice the bursting sound of your guns and walking and sometimes you here the eggs open up of where some facehuggers come out to try and kill you. Again other than that i'm afraid theres not too much to talk about for the sound

ADDICTIVENESS 7
Really for me this was the 1st proper good shooter since Doom 64 and Goldeneye 64 which both were one of the best shoot em up games I've played though I have never sadly played this for the story line I just wanted to blast some aliens to pieces and kill the queens to death. This was addictive even though you could not fully get into the game and fully enjoy it. The game can drag on a little bit if you don't like killing the same sort of aliens over and over an over again but when you pass the 1st few levels. You can feel the pressure and the aliens intentions of just wanting to kill you. Considering there is 3 sections and there is 10 levels in each section the game does progressively get harder and harder but also more exciting. This is addictive enough to make you try and complete the game or as far as you can get.

STORY 4
Again just like the graphics and sound part of the game the story never really had much power in it either which again adds to the disappointment of the game regarding the title. I saw this game nothing more than going through the films of Aliens going through the colony. Aliens 3 taking you through the prison camp and last but not least the alien ship itself from Alien. Disappointingly there was barely no cutscenes in this which you might of expected and its only at the begging of the game where you do see some cut scenes and at the very end of the game. So in truth story wise its poor.

DEPTH 7
Finally I come to what will only be i'm afraid to say the best part of this review which is a good positive thing. The depth of this game and how much they have put into this is quite something. The aliens that you have to kill range from the normal aliens that you would see in the movie to infected humans. Oh no it don't stop there either. Again I said earlier there are 10 levels with 3 different sections which makes 30 levels in total. Along with those levels if you complete certain levels 100% a clean sweep of aliens missions and secrets you'll land yourself in a bonus round where you can pickup much needed ammo extra health and even a new weapon. Weapons will range from a handgun which in truth is really pointless to use after level 4 but don't panic you'll get more weapons than that going all the way up to a flame thrower so you can cook those aliens to death to even a pulse rifle to pack some serious punch and power. 

Coming away from the weapons and levels instead of the modern if your hit take cover and you somehow magically recover and get back to 100% full health in the Alien Trilogy you will start out with what I would call 100 hit points you lose those hit points all the way down to 0 and your dead an depending on what alien (if you was even killed by a alien) you'll see what will happen to the hero Ripley. Of course again their are plenty of health packs but if you do reach 100 hit points you will have to pick up single health pack points to make your life go over 100

There are plenty of gizmo's to help you on your way too and though some areas are dark to the point that you can not see that well. So of course gizmos range from the much needed shoulder lamps to light up those dark areas to seismic charges which uncover secret areas of the level and are hidden with new areas and supplies.

The depth of the game really is something that should catch someones eye when playing this game

Difficulty 7
The controls are fine you should not have too much bother with them but the real difficulty lies when you get the later stages of the game when you get into the ship of the aliens. Their are traps in this game that can also plunge you into a certain death and even in the late part of the 1 section I won't say any more than watch your step and watch your surroundings as well. The aliens providing you equip yourself with the right gun are relatively easy to kill though in true fashion in a game like this Ripley's task is made harder when aliens effectively have more health and as I mentioned the handgun by level 4 is just simply not needed unless you see facehuggers coming to kill you. The queen or in other words the boss battles are also easy to beat and considering its a boss and I just said easy to beat the boss battles are and should be a piece of cake and in truth deeply thinking about it is rather disappointing.

OVERALL 5
Sadly this was not meant to be one of the greatest PS1 film games ever made and it turns out to be rather disappointing if you was one of those people who saw the Alien Trilogy PS1 box and saw that nasty alien and was expecting this to be a cracking game. I am sadly having to say it was not and join the club.

Its weak graphics and sound even just by playing the 1st level were disappointing and in terms of challenging gameplay in the 1st few levels again it was not hard. On the upside to round things off and finish this review again if you do love just blasting things up and killing stuff for fun then this is totally for you

With that this completes my review of the PS1 Alien Trilogy game thanks for reading enjoy 

Really good review, especially since it is only your 29th post. I don't think I would want to play this game, from the review... 

A couple of tips: Use more punctuation and Capitalization... It makes it easier to read. I found a couple of grammatical mistakes. Like the one here: "Their are traps in this game that can..." It should be the "there" word there... A common mistake, but keep up the good work!
