Alien Syndrome review for Sony PSP
I t's important that we point out that Alien Syndrome is a remake of a very old Sega game because it explains the overly simple premise (lone space warrior battles aliens) and it explains the simple gameplay (it's a top-down shooter). What it can't account for is why such a simple and direct game feels like such hard work, as Alien Syndrome is more irritating that entertaining.

What a trooper
Initially there is some promise, as our Aileen – a heroic Earth Command Trooper – touches down on an alieninfested vessel and immediately has to being dispensing the lead in order to survive. Backing up the blasting is a competent and conventional RPG structure that rewards you with experience points to develop both the character's abilities and her weaponry, and to be fair it all works together well.
