I can't disagree more with the "official" reviewer... this game is a true gem.
User Rating: 8.3 | Alien Trilogy PC
Back in the old days when it came out, Alien Trilogy was a shock to me. It has been one of the few games that truly scared me when playing it. I like the Alien saga but I am not even such a fan, I enjoyed this game because it was fast-paced, scary, and it had nice graphics. It was also quite difficult. I found myself installing it again and again through the years to give it another go... and I have done that with very few games. Don't believe the Gamespot score on this one. If you are lucky enough to find this game on abandonware sites, or if you come across it at some second hand market, get it... you will not be disappointed. It sits comfortably among the other masterpieces in my collection. It might have come at the wrong time, or maybe the reviewer had a bad day, or maybe other games were more popular at the time, when everybody was playing Duke Nukem and Quake... but Alien Trilogy... with the empty corridors and the acid splashes, with those alien crabs jumping on your face... it's something to remember and it keeps scaring me today. I was shocked to see the score they gave it, it didn't deserve such a harsh treatment.
