Editor's review of 3D Alien Aquarium Screensaver

• 5.0 stars

This mysterious yet well-designed screensaver hyptonizes with the otherwordly, morphing creatures it brings to your PC. 3D Alien Aquarium Screen Saver gives viewers a unique twist on the ubiquitous fish-tank theme by replacing the fish with alien specimens, including octopi, worms, and tadpoles. The onscreen creature will change shape before your eyes, then shuffle away so another species can take center stage. We really appreciated this program's excellent graphics, and all the aliens demonstrate fluid, smooth movements. The atmospheric sound effects, which convey the right ambience, also are a nice touch. We were really impressed with 3D Alien Aquarium Screen Saver's large feature set. For example, you can change the time of day, decide how long each alien stays onscreen, choose among several backgrounds, and increase the amount of bubbles and light rays to display. An occasional nag screen disrupts the mesmerizing show, but since that's the only demo restriction, we can't complain much. We recommend this program to a wide variety of users, though science-fiction buffs will take particular interest.

  "0 stars This is one of the corniest screensavers I've ever seen."

  by cherieb100 on April 27, 2006

  Cons: I don't like a single thing about it. There is no aquarium,the background is terrible and the so-called aliens don't hardly look like they're 3d or real. Everything about this saver looks fake. Don't waste your time!

  "No Aliens Here! Product should be renamed"

  by JohnPhoenix2007 on January 15, 2007

  Pros: The colors were o.k. as well as the shape shifting...just o.k.

  Cons: Like I said, just o.k... I have seen much better shape shifting or morphing ability in 3D games.

  There are No Aliens Here!! What you do see are shapes that morph. There is Nothing that looks like an Alien.

  One may say, "how can you say there are no aliens when no one really knows what aliens look like?"

  Well, that is just moronic. If you promote a product with images of aliens, the public expects to see something of mainstream concepts of what aliens should look like. All this program does is display shapes and colors that morph into other shapes and colors. To call those shapes "Alien" is rather streching things a bit too far. I am very shocked the reviewers at C-Net didn't pick up on this. From now on, I won't read C-nets reviews until after i've tried a program.

  Program should be called 3D shapes screen saver. To me, this comes close to the very illegal and prosacutable offence of false advertising.

  "Only screensaver of the 10 I tried that didn't work for me"

  by rankle08 on September 11, 2006

  Pros: I Love the concept.

  Cons: I wished it worked out of the box on my system. It didn't. I don't mess with trying to get trials to work. If they don't work without fuss, the sale is lost.
