It isn't difficult to see where this game went wrong. Unfortunately, Alien Resurrection, perhaps the most anticipated Alien game since Acclaim launched the series a decade or so ago, is also the most disappointing. It's no surprise, therefore, that just about all the Alien video and computer games-including one on the old Atari Jaguar-have done a pretty good job of mixing play action and virtual chills. You've got all those delightfully slimy, death metal environments, plenty of dimly-lit corridors and crawlspaces, lots of creepy sound effects and, of course, one of the big screen's most successful monsters (available in several varieties!). Let's face it, folks, the Alien film franchise is your basic no-brainer for translation to the electronic gaming medium.
