Alien Front Online is a Dreamcast video game originally released for the console in 2001. In the game, players use armored vehicles to fight tense battles staged in large, interactive arenas. Players could choose which side they wished to fight for, the aliens or the human defenders of Earth, and could also choose one of three different vehicles to combat with; each having its own advantages and disadvantages. Although Alien Front was fully playable for one person, it was primarily designed as an online game in which up to 8 players (up to 4 on each side) could battle it out. Players move around the arena attempting to blast each other with their weaponry, while also looking for power-ups that will enhance their ability to wreak massive destruction. Typically, the game was played for a set number of minutes, after which the team with the most kills would be declared the winners. Being killed while playing the game had no serious consequences (you simply respawned in a different part of the area you were in), but it did reflect on your win/loss score.

An arcade-y, third-person, team-based tank shooter with three playable vehicle types. Has a neat selection of power-ups, and fun, destructible environments. Single-player is pretty barebones, but online 4v4 is a lot of fun.

This is a really damn fun vehicular combat game for the Dreamcast. It's Quite amazing how many quality unknown Dreamcast games there are. I grew up playing this one a lot. It's always been really fun, while also being decently challenging. The controls have also aged very well, and don't take too long to get used to, like a lot of older games tend to. Check this one out if you can! It's a winner.

I actually never got the chance to play this online (ironic) so I only got to experience the single player which was actually really fun and had a lot of replay ability. I remember their being a lot of branching story paths that sometimes had incredibly convoluted conditions to cause the branching to happen.

Overall I had a fun time playing it and I remember thinking the different alien designs were kind of cool.
