The game begins shortly after the events of the movie Aliens . You play as Corporal Christopher Winter, part of a USCM search-and-rescue team sent to the USS Sulaco to investigate the disappearance of Ellen Ripley and the other marines.

The game is a direct sequel to the 1986 film Aliens and has a storied history—from its controversial development and critical reception to the discovery of a game-breaking typo years later.
