The game is fun to play, but the whole time you are playing it you will probably wish that you were just playing Metroid. Ellen can do this double jump thing that works similar to the screw attack that Samus has. There is an XP and upgrade system at play here which I think is actually quite sophisticated. You will need to explore this massive base, but as you do, you will need to find and unlock new abilities to get past certain areas. This is a side-scrolling 2D Metroid Vania style of game. Much like the story of Alien Quest is inspired by Metroid, even more so is the gameplay. Those that are here for the hardcore action will be pleased to know that this is done in the same kind of high-quality art style and there is a gallery where you can view all of the sex scenes that you have unlocked. The game has a cell-shaded 2D look which I think is very well done. The only person that can save the day is Ellen, she arrives with her massive boobs, big butt, and serious ass-kicking abilities to save the day.
