Creepy characters, clunky controls , 2007-09-30
Despite the fact that the actors from the show lent their voices to the game, Alias is only mildly entertaining. The game box promises "relentless spy action" and "cinematic tension", yet does a great deal of falling short. Most of the missions are drawn-out and some of the action inconsistencies are frustrating (sometimes Sidney can jump across ledges, sometimes she can't) and attempting to solve some of the objectives will either leave you scratching your head or smashing your PS2 against the wall. Try not to get creeped out as Sidney's eyes shift back and forth like the ones in a haunted house ghost picture or how about Dixon and Marshall? The faces look pretty good, but the video game bodies don't match, giving them a bobble-head appearance. And what about that skimpy ending? Was that a rush job or what? One redeeming quality I found was the cut scene where Marshall gets slapped several times. That was good for a laugh.

At this point, the game is several years old and most likely vanished into oblivion, but for the occasional late-comer (such as I was), consider yourself warned. The game isn't totally bad, but it's far from great.

AMAZING GAME, 2007-07-19
I highly recommend this game to everyone. Yes, ALIAS was one of my favorite television shows, which added to my great experience with the game, but even an outsider would love it. The characters were great, and looked like the actors who play them in real life. The voices were also the voices of the actors, which was great. The actual game was challenging, but solvable, and very fun! The story was like just another episode of the show. In the game you get to hack into computers, tail Sark, steal weapons, free prisoners, and basically beat the bad guys. The graphics aren't top notch, but they are very good. You, as Sydney Bristow, get sent on many different missions, which are all different and exciting. You would think the game would end after some missions, but then HQ sends you on a few more. It's really great for the story to keep going like that, because I didn't want it to end! At one point Sydney even gets trapped and has to call HQ for help, where you get to play as Michael Vaughn for a little while. The dialogue is great and sounds like what they would say on the show...Especially with Marshall, the op-tech guy. He is hysterical as always...
Anyway, I could go on for hours about how great this game is...Again, I would like to say that I HIGHLY recommend this game, especially to the ALIAS fans out there. It's truly amazing.
