 Alien SyndromeReviewed by: Mario Diaz
Game Rating: 
Alien Syndrome was a arcade game back in the year 1987, it was a hit among gamers who spent many quarters playing it, so Sega decide to bring it back, but with a new storyline to this remake. The story is basically a hundred years later, where it follows a woman who leads this investigation on what has happened.
Alien Syndrome is a sci-fi action RPG that starts you off with you having to choose a character class to play as, which includes demolitions expert, firebug, seal, tank, and sharpshooter. The initial choice will decide your starting stats as well as the type of weapon you'll start out with, the game features 20 different weapons including flamethrowers, quad-barreled lasers, nanobot swarms that dissolve enemies and incendiary grenades that shoot fire geysers from the ground. Though as you finish levels, you could earn points for the melee-based tank class which out of all the different classes it is by far the best and most powerful of them all.
Once you take to the combat zone it's all about blasting alien monsters, its well over a hundred different types of monsters to encounter. You’ll be shooting them down with multi-directional aiming control, beating them down with a wide array of melee attacks including critical strikes, stabs, circular clear-all sweeps, smashes, and finishing maneuvers.
For the most part the general combat works very well, and players who are into a more in-depth four player experience may take some enjoyment out of working together and beating the crap out of a few space mutants. The game looks better in general on PSP than it did on its console re-design, the models and animation look pretty simple, the interface design and artwork are decent being that it’s on the small high-resolution screen, it still good enough to enjoy.
Alien Syndrome as it turns out, makes a better PSP game than it does a full console PS2 or Wii effort, it at least looks, feels, and plays like it was designed for its intended platform the PSP. Though the game could have been better then I hope for, it’s still deserves a try.
