2.0 out of 5 stars Pretty poor game..., February 7, 2010

This review is from: Aliens: A Comic Book Adventure (CD-ROM)

I bought this when it first came out, and frankly, it was terrible. I never quite completed it, because I became so frustrated with the gameplay (a bad attempt to mix "arcade action" along with "timed puzzles" and "text-based adventure game"). It was never fun, to begin with, and it was always frustrating. It's probably the worst game I've ever played. The translation into the English language was even done very poorly (I believe it was originally in French?).

Trust me... it's the worst PC game I've ever played, and I have HUNDREDS of games I've purchased and played (some only part-way, some I've replayed multiple times).
