Yep, I purchased them both on release and really enjoyed them. You really needed an AGA amiga with an 030 CPU and some fast ram to start getting the most from these games.
They were both great games, with the second being much better than the first and allowing full screen 3D if you had a system powerful enough.
I don't think they were as good as the original 2D Alien Breed games. Those were pure arcade shooting fun. The 3D versions were basically Doom/Dark Forces in the Alien Breed universe more than anything else. Still great fun to play though.
As for the best FPS on the Amiga, Breathless and Gloom AGA were pretty good examples. However when Doom was releases for the Amiga I couldn't stop playing it.

Which of you have played them and what did you think of them?
Hi Ghost,
Alien Breed 3D is a great game in my opinion. Used to play it quite a lot when it was released back in the 90's. The game didn't have as good graphics as Breathless and Gloom, but it had fine playability. I recently gave it a go on the CD32 and it was good fun.
As for Alien Breed 3D 2, I must admit I haven't played it as much. Might have something to do with the hardware requirements. At the time I didn't have the machine power to run in a decent resolution, so I had to play with a small window. Needless to say, it wasn't that much fun. Still, I know it's an ok game and for the time, the graphics were fantastic.
Other FPS games for the Amiga I've tried are Testament, Gloom (normal and Deluxe), Fears, Death Mask, Breathless, Nemac, Genetic Species (excellent), and many others.
Hehe.. I see that Harrison mentions Doom for Amiga. Yeah, remember the port very well. It actually ran very good on a 030!
