Alien Syndrome

"Never does it become particularly fun, though it's quietly engaging in its own methodical, repetitive way. It's not a full-price purchase by any means, and it's nowhere close to the high action-RPG bar set by Champions of Norrath on the PS2 three and a half years ago. Maybe it's worth a look once it hits the bargain bin...but as it stands, Alien Syndrome is a very expensive relic."

"A sense of murky monotony sucks most of the life out of this action RPG remake of Sega's classic arcade shooter."

"Totally Games only recently implemented visual upgrades to give the action-RPG more graphic punch. The title runs at a brisk framerate and supports both 480p and 16:9 widescreen modes. That being true, the overall visual presentation is the one area the game definitely still needs improvement, as the characters and environments generally lack geometrical and texture detail."

"In our brief time with the game today we also had a chance to play some two-player co-op, and from what we've seen the action stays pretty hectic without losing frames or getting too cluttered on-screen. Of course that's taking into consideration that the Wii version of Alien Syndrome looks nearly on par (with maybe a few improvements) with the PSP version, so it's in no way a graphically taxing game on Nintendo's console."
