Plot
Based around the film Alien Resurrection and set on the USM Auriga and the Betty. You play as Ripley, Call, DiStephano and Christie through the different levels, similiar to other AvP games you have a selection of weapons and equipment that you collect as you go. You start as Ripley, who has been held by security in the Detention Block, power has failed and your escape is simple but not all systems have failed so you will need to collect 'pass cards' to access sealed areas. Xenomorph are loose on the USM Auriga so your escape will be slowed but you have Call, DiStephano and Christie helping you by way of the 'communication unit', and game play is shared between these characters who have different traits and weapons.

Reception
Tension. It's the fundamental for fear. Your mind can get you quicker than anything lurking in the shadows. Argonaut didn't so much make a game with Alien: Resurrection; they built a sky-high wall of tension, then pushed it down onto players standing underneath and screamed "Look Out!" There's no way to escape its barrage, quick as you may be, and that's the problem with the game. It's designed to crush you, and gives you no means of battling your way out. On its feet, it's an incredibly frightful game that nails near-perfectly the sudden onslaught of action and, better still, breathless, 6.5/10.
