ALIEN VIRUS : CLASSIC ADVENTURE
 
Alien Virus features a story we all know very well; our hero is sent to
deliver some goods to a top-secret space-station far away from the
normal trading routes. And, of course, his girlfriend also works at the
station. So our hero sets away in the hopes of spending some time with
his girl. However, once he arrives he realizes that all is not well.
Instead of a welcome commitee, he finds an empty cargo bay and closed
doors.
This is how the game starts, with you being
trapped in the cargo bay, and your first task will be to get the robot
online and the doors opened. The difficulty is just right for this to
teach you the basics of the game. You spend some time figuring out how
to get the robot working, but as soon as the doors open, you are thrown
into a deadly race against time and monsters lurking in the shadows.
The game is a standard adventure game, where the key to success is in
picking up everything you can and listening for clues in the game
dialogues. Well, at least the first part of the game is... Somewhere
near the end, all logic is blown away and you find yourself stranded
without a clue. I am talking about a scene where you have to magnify a
tube of grease, pour it on the floor near the ventilation shaft, turn
off the lights, and wait for an alien to slip on the grease and get
killed by the fan... If anyone didn't quite understand that, you're not
alone. Everywhere I've looked, people have been upset with the game at
that point.
Another weird aspect in the game is that all the rooms and hallways are
viewed from a specific point, making orientation a bit strange at first
(and especially in ventilation shafts). Still, you should get
familiarized with this a little into the game.
As for the story and graphic, there's really
not much to be said. The story is like any horror script in space with
a lost group of people and alien monsters, and you know how it will end
before you get halfway through the game. Even so, the game is fun and
challenging with nice dark scenes that look ominous and scary, just
like it should be.
