THIS IS THE BEST GAME BOY ALIENS GAME!! IT IS EVEN BETTER IF YOU ARE AN ALIENS FAN.THIS GAME FEATURES A VARIETY OF LEVELS(12 TO BE EXACT),5 MARINES TO CHOOSE FROM AND 12 WEAPONS INCLUDING PULSE RIFLES,FLAME THROWER,SHOTGUN,HANDGUN,SMART GUN,GRENADE LAUNCHERS AND MANY MORE!! THE STORY IS GREAT, THE GAME IS ABOUT A GROUP OF MARINES THAT ARE RETURNING TO EARTH FROM A TRAINING MISSION AND THEY ENCOUNTER A FREIGHTER CALLED THANATOS AND THEY BOARD IT. BUT OVERALL THE GAME IS A BLAST TO PLAY.

The game is not so cool. It's difficult to see things because the background color is similar to the caracter color. Dispite this "little" problem, the gameplay is good. I'd sugest Metal Gear Solid instead.

DON'T BE FOOLED BY THIS GAME'S BOX

This is definitely a kiddy game in disguise. It's an average kiddy game also. When you shoot your weapon, you get a little "boop" noise, and there's no battery save so you're gonna need a pen and paper for the password. The graphics aren't so hot, especially on Game Boy Advance which makes the game impossible to see in dark light. Your character is a little guy from the top down perspective shooting his little "boop" guns, but they make cooler noises as you get better ones. This game isn't very fun.

Thanatos will blow you away

For its time and system the game is one of the best. The plot is intriguing enough to keep you playing and the fighting, albeit tough at times, is a whole lot of fun.
Graphics:7- For GameBoy color, the graphics are great, but again this is gameboy color, the graphics do have some flaws. The character and alien models arent all that great, but you can tell what is what and that is all that really matters. The background ares are fantastic though. suprisingly good in fact. the shooting effects are good too.
Sound:8- the music track is ok, nothing speacial. But the effects are very good, the noise when a gun goes off and when and alien dies are almost astounding.
Gameplay:10- possibly one of the most fun games on GBC. if it were put on Ps2 or the Gamecube, it could be a contender for game of the decade. It is so fun going into a shoot-out with double shotguns and bustin some heads, nothing in the world can match the exhiloiration of close combat with an advanced soldier boss and the last battle will have you challenged for a few tries. The overall chllenge is good too. I couldnt get past the second levelk until i had practiced for a week and a half. It ios very fun and will never get boring.
the weapons from the movie come in great handy and are fun to use. You can have double pulse rifles for pete's sake! The pistol and shotgun are nothing new, but the incinerator and smart gun will leave your enemies in the dust and the most awesome part... you can drive a power loader! It increses your armor and you can still use both weapons. Its like protoss shielding on Starcraft but better! There is no beating this game on gameboy.
Overall:9- there IS NO better game for any gameboy system except maybe matroid fusion, but to compare with that is a rare honor. this gakme stands ouyt as an outstanding edition to the gameboy archive and should be apart opf any gameboy afficionado's collection. buy it now before it gets out of print! It is well worth the money.

One of the Worst Games Ever

This game was not very good.The box looked kind of cool, but the games graphics stunk. I would say it was worse than Armorines and thats say'n alot. The gameplay was OKAY, and it was kinda hard,so it was okay.If it looks intresting,rent or use someone elses but DO NOT BUY THIS GAME! Though one good thing about this game is hitting it with a hammer or taking all your rage out on it.But for playing it,USE SOMEONE ELSES OR DONT PLAY IT AT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A GREAT GAME IF YOU ARE AN ALIENS FAN!!!

This is a top down view fighting game. You move through different levels looking for guns and killing aliens. I hate it. The graphics are poor. There is no memory. When you complete a level it gives you a stupid code to move to the next level. There should be a sign on the box if a game has memory or not.

Shame for the series

When you look at the book, you'll notice a top-notch Alien that has, for the most part, matured into a bipedal drone (and, judging from the concept of you playing as a colonial marine, that would mean it has been using humanoids as hosts)while posing under some decent looking font. Memorize it; its the last time you'll see anything that looks like an alien anywhere in the gameplay. Most of the time you'll simply be running around a constantly shifting backdrop of mud-colored lockblocks feigning at being spacestations and so on, zapping out Atari-shaped charges as you light up anything that steps directly in your path.

O, and Huey Lewis lied. It isn't hip to be square.

Sadly, for a Gameboy Color game, this is an average release. It has the top-down feature, allows you to run around little levels that are barely equipped to deal with anything as advanced as audio/visual reception, and it has little Aliens that are frightening to people who suffer from all kinds of phobias - giant earthworms, watering their lawns, tripping over roots tearing up some newly planted frontage, the list could go on for days.

Sadly the experience could go on for days, too, and everything involved in the experience, mostly that of rescuing little people-blobs from little Alien-blobs, is only something to write home about if you need the instructions to use as paper.
