[edit] Overview
The game was said to have been based upon the events of the SG-1 seasons; the player was able to select their character for a mission and fulfil the roles of that character as seen in the TV show.
It was confirmed that the Alliance part of the name referred to the Alliance between Anubis and the new enemy, Haaken.[1] The Haaken have never appeared in the TV show, they are a new alien race that was created by the developer's concept artists and game designers.
[edit] Delay
According to IGN.Com, an "administrator posting in the game's official forum stating that the game has been cancelled".[2] However, this has never been officially confirmed by the developer, Perception Studios, despite forcing the majority of its staff into redundancy in January 2006.
After a two year long legal battle with JoWood, Perception won their fight in December 2007 with JoWood admitting they had no rights to Stargate. In fact Perception has all rights to the Stargate SG1: The Alliance game, and any further Stargate game releases. It is expected that work will now continue in some way on The Alliance, although existing parts of the already made game may not be used. [1]
[edit] Gameplay
The game was an FPS with an option for a third person perspective, consisting of objectives to be reached during various missions and levels. Since the developers have not shown much of the gameplay, it's not very clear how exactly the game was meant to play out. However, from the video from the "Stargate Atlantis: Rising" DVD, it appears to follow the storyline well.
