What is Research Mode? Research Mode is an interesting option that you can turn on that
allows you to change the appearance of the aliens in the game. To open the mode go to the
Options screen from the Main Menu and enter SQUARE, UP, DOWN, CIRCLE, LEFT, R1. If you did
it right there will be a new selection on the Options Menu called Research. When you enter
the Research option you will find a sixteen square grid. By lighting different
combinations of squares in the grid you can change the appearance of the aliens in the
game in some strange ways. Your going to have to goof around a bit, lighting different
combinations of squares to get an idea of how you can change things but for the most part
you can turn aliens transparent green, transparent yellow, make them really small (cat
size), make them medium sized (dog sized) and even make them huge. It will take some
experimenting to discover all the different types of combinations but the Research option
can also be accessed from the in game pause menu so you can change an alien's look as it's
attacking you.
Hidden in Alien Resurrection is a Cheat Menu that when accessed will allow you to turn on
infinite ammo, infinite health, no chest bursting and no drowning. There's also a level
select that will let you play any level in the game, even the final stage. To make the
Cheat Mode appear enter the Options screen from the Main Menu and while on the Options
screen press CIRCLE, LEFT, RIGHT, CIRCLE, UP, R2. The Cheat Menu will appear at the bottom
of the Options screen when you enter the code right. Select the new Cheat Menu to turn on
all the goodies.
