playing this game, i feel that Aliens Online definately improved from it's previous title Alien Trilogy. it had a much more attractive subcreen display than AT, and featured something not available in other Alien games... the ability to decide whether to play as a US Colonial Marine or a Xenomorph alien. also guess what? you actually custimize your controls in this game! how 'bout that? i spent many hours on this game soley because all my friends were playing over the good old BNC network. its what lead to the annual 48 hour over night LANfest we used to do - fun stuff. if your interested in a game with some awsome multiplayer and not very interested in a campaign style game, Aliens Online is the game for you...
