Loosely based on the film (and in turn, the comic book), the game is about an alien electrical life-form (usually referred to as "the Evil") which hijacks a space station, beams itself down to a ship called The Electra and plans to take over the world. To do so, it killed the ship crew and outfitted them with implants to infiltrate the human race. Unlike in the film, the ship makes it to port and the cyborg monsters infest the "Nakomi hotel". A female police officer and specialist in criminology, Joan Averil, is sent in to investigate "strange events" along with her partner Sutter. They discover the monsters, and fight their way through, rescuing two civilians on the way. Yakuza criminals also appear as enemies on the way. As reports of strange activity on The Electra surfaces, they track the infestation down to the ship and board it. Joan reveals that her brother Thomas works on the ship, and hopes to find him. They do, but Sutter is killed. They eventually manage to blow up the ship and escape. The ending cinematic ominously zooms out to depict the infested space station.

graphics look like absolute dog shit and no it's not because it's on PS1 at the time of this shit's release Resident Evil 3 , Tekken 3 , Legacy of Kain : soul reaver were already out but that's not a deal breaker I've looked at worse before so I can stomach that.
Now as for gameplay and controls holy fucking shit this is the lowest of the low you know that feeling when you press a button harder out of frustration wanting the action to happen or happen faster? that's all over this game it barely functions. and if that's enough it's also extremely difficult expect to clear every single section with a sliver of health after repeating the entire level each time you die. you name it this game got it : bullshit enemy configurations , cheap shots , insane damage or no damage at all , escort missions that happen back to back with no healing or any help whatsoever , insta kills , an infernal final boss that bugged out for me and refused to die even after I emptied it's life bar 3 times in a row it kept refiling and on the third time it decided to have infinite health as a final fuck you and much more shit that I'm too lazy to type out.
Level 5 in particular was the worst with tiny fucking gremlin things that charge you and do AOE damage that kills you in 2 seconds and the game spawns 50 of them in a small ass corridor that section alone took 40 minutes of retries because this whole game was developed by lobotomized French monkeys.
I would talk about the story but there's barely any of it you see a FMV of people dying at the start and then you get text with shit grammar telling you to find and kill "THE EVIL"tm. zero voice acting as well because who needs that shit to explain anything.
Thankfully the entire ordeal lasts an hour and 30 minutes but those last few levels will test your patience , resolve and the will to put the gun away from your mouth. Cryo interactive is the absolute worst publisher I've ever seen and thank god they are fucking dead. Fuck this game and fuck whoever made it.
