Sure it was just one per level and usually repetitive, but it was hard on you if you had a sub par result it would force you to replay the level and do better. Also unique for its time were the mission objectives. Also there are different strains of xenomorphs, which are mostly seen from the movies except the Adult Dog Xenomorph which design came from mostly the dog/ox strain. The game also pitted you against not only xenomorphs, but also hostile survivors, synthetics, and alien hunters that look like a mix between a hazmat worker and a stormtrooper with a pulse rifle. First with Aliens at Hadley's Hope, then the prison modeled after Fury 161, and finishes at the Derelict Space Craft. This game put you where Aliens started but added elements from the 3 movies out at the time. What this game had was the awesome gameplay. (Examples were Rebel Assault and Die Hard Trilogy to name a few). This game came from a time period where no one really cared about a story or mind blowing graphics. If it's not killed fast enough, the former will jump up on your face/screen and begin sucking your life away.

All of the creatures seen in the movies have been included, such as the face-hugger and regular aliens. Most corridors are dark and ominous and attempt to embrace the player with a feeling of suspense and fear. Each one intertwines with the overall storyline, which is told via cinema sequences rendered and inspired by the movies.Īlso lifted from the movies are the way the three sections are presented in atmosphere, mood, and level design.

They range from going from point A to point B to destroying the Queen's nest.

Regardless of their order, each quest requires the completion of missions loosely based on those of the movies. The game then flows into the prison colony of Alien 3 and finally comes to a close aboard the derelict spacecraft from the original Alien. You begin on LV426 - the setting of the sequel, Aliens. Each chapter focuses on a different aspect of its respective movie, but does not follow the order in which they were released.

Alien Trilogy is a first-person shooter that combines all three Alien movies into one quest broken into three chapters.
