Exceptional and fun
Most bugs in the trilogy but far the best vibe.

Alien Breed 3: Descent
Description
Alien Breed™ 3: Descent is the final explosive chapter in the Alien Breed™ series, and is a science fiction arcade-shooter with an epic story, swarms of highly intelligent alien enemies, high-impact weapons and stunning environments, developed using Epic Games' Unreal® Engine 3. Descend into hell and once again take control of the hero, Conrad, the ship’s Chief Engineer, in his last stand against the savage alien horde. While the doomed vessel, the Leopold, and the alien space craft plunge deeper into the planet’s atmosphere, with an icy ocean promising a watery grave, you have just hours to defy a grisly death and survive the alien onslaught for the final time. As you struggle deeper into the sinking alien ship, through the freezing waters flooding every corridor, the horrifying truth surrounding the existence of the Breed is finally uncovered…

More of the same... and that's good
I am playing all 3 games in a row. AB3 is more of the same... and that´s a good thing. Alien shooting, dim lit corridors, comic-book styled interludes, and all other elements that made the other two games enjoyable. Admittedly, these are simple games, and they all look pretty much the same with no significant innovation in mechanics or inventory besides a couple more weapons. But the atmosphere is great and the encounters are planned in such a way that will keep you on your toes. The developers also managed to surprise the gamer with new combinations of previous mechanics, like water+electricity, placing explosives, or using ramps and changing/fixing camera angles. On the narrative side, I liked the story of MIA more but here it's all mostly about the other foe, however it's not a bad story either. I wished that when the antagonist speaks aloud his lines would be typed on the interface because it is a bit hard to hear him. Also, I prefer shorter maps and more of them, but AB:3 is more like the opposite: long maps but fewer of them; nothing too extreme though. Regardless, pretty enjoyable a game for when you are short on time or feeling lazy about getting the hang of the mechanics of some bigger game again. Especially tailored for Alien/Starship Troopers fans. Update: One complaint only; The final boss is too hard! I am playing with keyboard, and basically procrastinating because turning so many corners over and over hurts, and it's just too tight on time. May get around it one day... or either watch the ending on YouTube ;)

Very nice game but withou any news
Alien Breed 3 is a very nice game. Its graphics and game mechanics are similar to its predecessors. Also sounds and music are very good. These elements make the gameplay be felt as we are really inside a space ship surronded by aliens monsters. The narrative brings the trilogy to a close without any major news. If we can compare the feeling of playing Alien Breed 3 to a rock band, it would be something similar to AC/DC, always the same, always cool. Recommended, with the exception that you must play the previous two first to understand the plot.
