  1. Total Video Games

    The variety with the games objects, as well in locations, aint half bad and that alongside some really plush graphics gives this almost instant appeal, which proves a point that some TV programs do transform into half decent games.

    Once you learn the controls, they respond sharply. The fully user-controlled camera can still leave you in a lurch, but locking onto one target in a group makes the frequent two-or three-enemy smackdowns winnable. [May 2004, p.70]
  3. Times Online
    80
    The third-person game is faithfully realised, enhanced by a coherent adventure penned by the show’s own scriptwriters and solid voice performances by the series’ cast members.
  5. Australian GamePro

    Seasoned gamers will rarely have to attempt anything in Alias twice, yet the game still has quite a satisfying length to it.
  6. GameZone

    It's got many of the elements that made "Metal Gear Solid" a success, like voice-overs that are performed by real actors. That alone is going to have the hardcore crowd buzzing.
  7. Game Chronicles
    78
    While Sydney is certainly more enjoyable to look at than Sam Fisher or Solid Snake, the simplistic gameplay, lack of stealth, and TV-targeted visual style is likely to appeal only to fans of the show.
  8. Console Gameworld
    78
    At 8 to 10 hours of game play, it won’t be the toughest challenge on the market, but it’s one of the best television/movie to video game adaptations you will find on the market.
  9. BonusStage
    76
    More experienced gamers who’re used to intensely challenging stealth action games will probably give it the old stinkeye, but the game is worth a solid rental just because you’ll probably find yourself like me, with a grin on your face as you’re playing through some of the missions.
  10. Game Informer

    Alias, in essence, boils down to an age-old sentence in the gaming review business: Fans will mostly dig it and newbies won't be terribly disappointed. [Apr 2004, p.94]
  11. Next Level Gaming
    75
    Cool things like split-screen graphics and a true story give way to a somewhat dull fighting system and graphics that don't quite cut the mustard.

    This is mediocre. It's only fun for about an hour or two, if you like the who, if you don't even less. Controls, moves, graphics This is mediocre. It's only fun for about an hour or two, if you like the who, if you don't even less. Controls, moves, graphics are all mid-grade. Nothing special here folks.… Full Review »
