Alien Virus

I'm sorry I couldn't get any better pictures of this game, but I was lucky to even find these two. It's really a shame, because the graphics are the only part of this game worth seeing. Everything else has been done (many times) before.

Story

We play the role of a shuttle pilot serving on a space station. One day, after finishing a mission and docking, we find that the station is deserted. An alien race has taken over the base and is keeping the remaining survivors in terror (and in hiding).

Opinion

As I mentioned above, there isn't a lot of originality in this game. If you saw the Alien series (the movies) then the story must seem familiar to you. The graphics are pretty good but they are ray-traced. The only parts that're hand-drawn are the very few characters you'll meet during the game (and they look like crap). The ingame music is okay, but nothing really special. The sounds, on the other hand, are very good (16 bit) but honestly, an adventure game needs more than that. I particularly didn't like the fact, that you need more luck to solve this game than cleverness. There are some parts where you just have to try all possible options and hope that one of them will work.
