Almost every hallway for the first three maps looks the exact same, and when you're confronted with junction after junction in foggy darkness with no clear path to take, it can be extremely frustrating figuring out where to go, or even where you are. The main reasons for this are because everything looks the exact same, there is no map or location indicators, it is consistently dark and grey, it has quite heavy fog, there are very few points of reference and distinguishable objects, and the few points of reference that do exist are connected via mazes of bland, dark corridors. This is because many of the things that gave the original game its appeal simply don't work in L4D2. Because of the vast differences in gameplay style over the years, the conversion of Alien Trilogy to L4D2 is, to be honest, pretty bad. The maps were also often very convoluted. This is back when cinematics and storylines comprised very little of a game's appeal, and where the majority of the gameplay came from learning the layouts of the maps and strategizing against specific enemy placement. As such, it follows the old DOOM-style formula of finding a key (in this case, finding a switch or battery) to open up a random door to find another switch or battery to open up another section where you must find yet more switches and batteries. The game itself was fairly good for its time, but it is indicative of many 90s FPS's. Irwin Fletcher of Game Revolution praised the high production values, commenting that "Alien Trilogy is nothing revolutionary, but it's a damn good shooter.Alien Trilogy: Section 1 [is a custom L4D2 map based on the 1996 game Alien Trilogy for the PSX, Sega Saturn, and PC by Fox Interactive, Acclaim Entertainment, and Probe Entertainment. General criticisms included the Doom-like shooting mechanics, occasionally confusing level layout and lack of narrative direction. The game received generally favourable reviews, including an 8/10 from IGN and an 8.75/10 from Game Informer.

After she enters hypersleep, it's revealed the Narcissus crew have been attacked by facehuggers and an Alien emerges from the shadows of the craft. However, as we see their drop ship escape the planet there also is a Narcissus craft (most likely another team sent by the company) also flying into the orbit. The game ends with Ripley and Bishop escaping from the planet. After the prison is secured, she came to the Derelict and finally killed the third and last Queen. After fighting trough the corporates, androids (again), and Dog Aliens, she fought and killed another Queen. She found out that Weyland-Yutani soldiers have came to the planet, trying to kill her. After the colony is secured (4 Aliens survived) she came to a prison facility (based on the Fury 161 prison). Having fought trough Aliens and combat androids she confronted the Queen and killed her.
