Right now the game is slated for a June release.Tekken 3 is the third installment of Namco's premier 3D fighting game franchise. The final version should run smoother and will also have sharpened Al (so aliens will work as a team and pop from walls and ceilings and such). The frame-rate and action seem rather sluggish, but this game is far from complete. The game's top-down 3D perspective is similar to Pitfall 3D's, but the shooting elements and interaction with the environments make this a decidedly darker, tenser action game. Each character is designed for specific levels, so you won't be able to pick one at will.Īlien Resurrection will feature "highly destructible environments, a huge arsenal of weapons and mission-based objectives within the game's 13 levels. You can play as one of five different characters from the film: Ripley 8, Call (the ship's mechanic, played by Winona Ryder), johner (that huge guy from The City of Lost Children), Christie (the dreadlocked sharpshooter) and DiStephano (the soldier from the Auriga).
But if you have all three (like me), there's nothing else like it.Īlien Resurrection is based on the fourth movie in the Alien series and is being developed by Argonaut, the creators of Croc and the original Star Fox. Basically, AR isn't worth it unless you have a lot of patience, a PS mouse and a love for the Alien movies. Graphics are pretty good for a PS game, although the fluctuating framerate (sometimes outstanding, sometimes just decent) can be disorienting. Controls are iffy-even with the mouse/controller combo (and don't even think about playing this game without the mouse), strafing and changing weapons is really awkward. The levels are huge and pretty well-designed, with some cool tasks and puzzles built in and awesome scripted events that happen in real time as you play (although I wish there were more of them). Walking through the dark, narrow corridors and ventilation shafts, waiting for facehuggers or aliens to leap out at any moment, knowing that one mistake could mean instant death-it gets the ol' ticker going, especially if you play it in the dark. But that adds to another area where AR outdoes its peers-it's got to be the scariest game yet for the PS. Ammo, health and save points are scarce, and the aliens are nasty if one gets in close it's pretty much "game over, man, game over!". Maybe tough isn't the right word-it is incredibly, frustratingly, motherblanking hard as hell. For starters, it is easily the toughest game I have played in the two years I have been reviewing games.
