Alien Earth

First time out of the vault
Did anyone play Alien Earth? I played it a long while ago and i don't remember it really but I remember enjoying it a lot. It wasn't a bad game, not as good as fallout but i think a fallout fan would like it.
 
What genre is it? CRPG? What RPG system does it use? Is it action or RP oriented? Does it have branching dialogues? Give us some details, dude.
 
I do not remember the game clearly, I played it like 6 years ago and I totally forgot about it so I really couldn't give too many details. I haven't heard about the game since, which is weird since it was pretty decent compared to most games of this kind. I do remember that you got a lot done through talking with people, it's basically how you found out what's going on and what to do, talking was pretty important, not like in Diablo where you only gotta talk to people to activate quests. I am not sure but I do not think it had too much branching there but the cool thing was that you could create a lot of different stuff from useless items. F. e. you could find an empty bottle and then a rag and for awhile you would think they are useless but then you find a crashed helicopter and you get gas from the tank and could create a molotov bomb. Or you could create a knife from a piece of metal and then find a stick and a rope and create a spear. The combat system was real time but it was more strategic than diablo where you had to just point and click, the game slowed down during combat (on purpose) and it was pretty interesting. Anyway, this is what I remember, if i remember something else, I will post. Oh yeah, the game was on one of the RPG collection CD's I had.
 
Wow. Never heard of it, but what you just said, sounds really good (kinda sorta like Arcanum). And the screenshots aren't too bad either. But you say it's six years old? Might look for it in the bargain bins/second hand games...
 
Info on the game is hard to find even on google. Here is a review I found:

Alien Earth is perhaps one of the more under-rated games. You play as someone who oddly enough doesn't get named, to go up against the Alien Race ruling Earth, the Raksha, as their hunting prey. However, you eventually find shelter and eventually lead up to bring down the Raksha altogether.

Gameplay: 8
Using the point and click interface, you move the character or use items throught use of the mouse. Taking an overhead prespective, you go through out the game fulfilling different objectives, such as finding someone or destroying something. Items are picked up throughout the game and have a use, such as being combined with another item to form a new object for later use in the game. Puzzles are found throughout the game.

Video: 9
The graphics are incredible. The lush Jungle is full of color, with many shades of green. The main character looks lifelike, and moves lifelike as well. Every object in the ame is illustrated very well and with incredible detail. Cinematic clips are also found thorugh out the game.

Sound: 10
The sound is simply great. Voices sound frequently, and the vairtey of characters allow a buffet of speech, each teeming with character and personality. Sound effects are great as well, with each step in the forest sounding like .. eachs step in the forest..enemies are teeming with sound effects; the giant wasp's buzz makes your skin tingle and swat for flies you thought were around.

Control: 9
The control interface is easy to use. Point and click interface allows uncomplicated and un-stressful gameplay. No difficulty in even the tightest situations.

Replay value: 7
Most people can beat the game with some or no help. In turn, replay is reduced, although it is still fun to play through again. Cool factors in the ame such as sound and cinemas may add to the replay value. Having mutliple resonses from some characters may lure the curious, as to see what they all have to say. Excellent graphics maymight make some even go back and look for stuff they missed. Likewise, playing the game differently suh as flfilling objectives differently may help as well. Little changes in the plot are sometimes worth seeing to hear new dialouge or events. Even though games of this genre have nearly no replay value, this game does have points to make you come back to beat the Raksha again.
