The interesting part is you can find better versions of the weapon, or when you reach a "shop" module, you can buy upgrades. pistol, shotgun, assault rifle / gatling, rockets, and energy weapons. While you have 5 weapons, in general you only use 2-3. And there will be body parts galore, and plenty of blood / ichore / whatever body fluids on the floor. This one has much better sprites and even the nasties are much better animated. The original alien shooter looks blocky and low-res. You start by blasting your way into the research facility, then clean out sector by sector, and basically have to make a decision at the end that will determine if you get the good ending, or the bad ending. It's the typical plot: special forces have been called to investigate this corporation doing research into ****, and apparently they did something they shouldn't (think Doom) and nasties came over from the other dimension. There's alternate endings, the monsters makes more sense, there's a ton more secrets, and vehicle modes have been added. Basically, this is a logically progression from Alien Shooter.
