Alien Trilogy

EW's GRADE
B

Everyone's favorite acid-spawned parasites are back in Alien Trilogy, which convincingly captures the claustrophobic, eerie vibe of the three Alien movies. Played from the perspective of Sigourney Weaver's Ripley, the shoot-'em-up, scavenger-hunt mission pits you against the film's xenomorphs as well as some humans. One caveat: Ripley's most valuable weapon — the critter tracker that warns of aliens — is useless; by the time it beeps, you're already hostess to the grossest. Still, while computer-game movie adaptations are a dime a dozen, Trilogy was clearly hatched from the right brood. B
