It's alright, I've already got Alien�. It's not bad actually, if a little
tough, and it installs to hard drive perfectly using the patch on Aminet :-)
I agree it doesn't bear much resemblance to the film though.
The problem I've found with all Aliens games to date (and I'm going OT here)
is that they don't concentrate on the suspense and terror aspect, they're
just blast-em-ups. Apparently, Alien Resurrection (soon to be released on
PSX) is a suspensey game ;-) YAAY! :-) Imagine walking down a badly-lit
corridor with just a gun and a shoulder lamp. Your motion tracker starts to
beep behind you. You whizz round and there's nothing there, but the beep
gets closer. You look up to find an Alien on the roof, whereupon it jumps
down and smashes your skull with its secondary jaws :-) Mmmm, lovely :-)
Catch ya later,
GazChap.
Lead me not into temptation, I can find it myself.
