The game pretty much follows the plot of the second movie closely, Ripley joins a bunch of Space Marines as Scientific Advisor and they all come across a colony in ruins infested to the brim with Xenomorphs. It's up to her and Hicks to take up arms and kick some Alien ass while keeping Newt, the sole survivor of the alien outbreak, safe. Virtually, the whole thing is quite similar to ''VideoGame/{{Contra}}'' (made by the same company and considered a SpiritualAdaptation for Alien games before Konami got the license to make this title.)

The Flamethrower has slightly less range than other weapons, but between the speed at which it fires, the amount of damage it does per shot, and the fact that it hits everything in a line instead of stopping at the first enemy it comes into contact with, it's widely considered to be the best weapon in the game.
