Aliens only looks bad because it formula has been copied so much, at the time it was totally original. It will never make you forget the first Alien-movie, but it was and is a terrific movie. The first half before the action starts is incrediblbly suspensefull, Alien and Aliens are both incredibly awesome, just different. Aliens is obviously the better choice for a game, that is why I am so intrigued by this game, it's sounds so terrifying.
