The action gets off to a slow start as you're introduced to the intuitive dual-stick controls, the welcome option to rotate the camera eight different ways, and the occasionally time-consuming act of searching bodies and lockers for supplies. Each roughly hour-long chapter ends when you reach an elevator and escape to the next chapter, and because said elevators are invariably out of order, most mission objectives revolve around powering them up and getting them working again. They've also seemingly managed to sabotage practically everything on the ship that runs on electricity, because save for the perfectly preserved computer terminals where you complete mission objectives and save your progress, everything's pretty busted. What story there is doesn't do a great job of explaining how Conrad found himself in this predicament nor what he plans to do about it, but the gist is that the Leopold has collided with another ship (perhaps from the original game) and subsequently been boarded by aliens that have wasted no time killing everyone. Alien Breed Evolution's Story mode is divided up into five chapters bookended by comic-book-style cutscenes that tell the instantly forgettable tale of Conrad, one of very few survivors on the spaceship Leopold, which is currently under alien attack.
