On aggregating review website GameRankings, the PlayStation version held a 78% based on 5 reviews. Reception Īlien Trilogy received generally positive reviews from critics. Many of the game's sound effects, such as the cocooned colonists whispering 'Kill me' and the alien screeches, were sampled from the films. The aliens' movements were created using this technology.

In early 1994, Acclaim announced that Alien Trilogy would be the first game to use the 3D motion capture technology created by their engineering team Advanced Technologies Group. 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. 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. In the role of Lieutenant Ellen Ripley, the player experiences a story loosely derived from the first three films of the Alien franchise.Īside 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 franchise rather than through the specific plots of the films themselves. The console versions only have a single player campaign whereas the DOS version also features deathmatch network multiplayer. It features several weapons, including the pulse rifle from Aliens, and other equipment, such as a shoulder lamp, which can be used by the player. The video game consists of 30 levels and 3 Queen alien bosses. Alien Trilogy takes many elements from Alien film series, such as facehuggers, chestbursters, dog aliens, adult aliens, and Queen aliens.
