Alien³

The Good
It's not an adaptation of the Alien 3 game released for other consoles, but a whole new game.

The engine is one of the best that appeared on the Super Nintendo. Graphics are great. Sound and music are great. It has a mission-based system with different kind of goals. There is a good assortment of enemies and weapons.

Best of all, unlike other Alien 3 games, this one has no time limit. For this thing alone, this game should be considered the best adaptation, but...

The Bad
Gameplay is horrible. Facehuggers and chestburster can only be killed by crawling when firing. Because monsters are randomly generated, the only way not to keep getting hurt is to crawl all the time. Who wants to play an entire game on his knees? Not me.

Sometimes the game goes crazy and you face wave after wave of monsters. No matter how much you defend yourself, they inflict a great deal of damage or just kill you. It's very frustrating.

This forces you to backtrack, over and over again, to the medic bay and the weapons room for health and ammo. On the first half of the game, this is not a problem, but on the second half, both places are hard to reach.

The Bottom Line
Playing this game starts as a troublesome experience and ends up being a torture. If it wasn't an Alien 3 game, I would not have finished it.
