Ten colossal levels All of the legendary weapons from the Alien world Product Description Alien Resurrection (U) (PS1 Black Label) Review Take two parts weak plot, a hint of bad controls and crummy auto aiming, add a dash of overdone stretches of boredom amid short stretches of rather fierce action, and you've got Alien: Resurrection 's downside. But here is the upside: these are Ridley Scott's Aliens-they are coming for you relentlessly. The game gives you the heebie-jeebies when you're playing it all alone with the lights turned down low. The tension can often become palpable as you reload your weapon, administer a health pack and pray that the beasts don't hit you from a direction you hadn't anticipated. The premise of the game is pretty standard Alien fare: you, as Ripley, are locked in a life or death outer-space struggle to keep the devious Dr Wren from bringing alien samples to earth. The atmosphere created by Alien: Resurrection 's various environments, animation and sounds is the primary reason to purchase this game. Because it relies heavily on suspense--the sense that these adversaries can be nowhere and everywhere at the same time has never been more real in a game-- Alien: Resurrection can sometimes go even beyond what you would consider merely scary to an entirely new terrorising experience. The game engine supports all this with atmospherics like lighting effects, fogging, water (and blood?) dripping and other particle effects. But suspense can only go so far. As in the movies, if the actual confrontations with the aliens don't live up to expectations, the whole game can suffer. -- Todd Mowatt
