Contents |
In the role of Lieutenant Ellen Ripley, the player experiences a story loosely derived from the first three films of the Alien franchise. Aside from occasional CGI cut scenes, the plot is told through text-based mission briefings that guide the player through an expanded, action-oriented story, drawing upon the settings and characters of the then-trilogy rather than through the specific plots of the films themselves.
The game begins in essentially the same manner as Aliens, as Ripley - here a Marine herself - travels to LV426 to restore contact with the colony there. The other Marines are wiped out, so Ripley must then travel through the infested colony and prison facility, and finally the crashed alien ship itself, to destroy the aliens and escape.
Alien Trilogy currently holds a 78% rating on IGN, based upon 349 reviews. Reviewers generally criticized the derivative, Doom-like shooting mechanics, confusing level layout and the lack of narrative direction.[1]
However, Irwin Fletcher of Game Revolution was more optimistic, praising the high production values, and commenting that "Alien Trilogy is nothing revolutionary, but it's[sic] a damn good shooter."[2]

Alien Trilogy is a 3D first-person shooter based on the first three movies in the Alien film series. It was released for the MS-DOS, PlayStation, and Sega Saturn platforms.
In the role of Lieutenant Ellen Ripley, the player is thrust into the storyline of the Alien franchise, concluding finally with Alien 3. However, aside from occasional CGI cut scenes, the plot is told through text-based mission briefings that guide the player through an expanded, action-oriented story, rather than through the specific plots of the films themselves.
