Review by streetpunx4life

"Good, but not the first one"

You may think that it's the same thing as the last game. But its not the original was a lot better. This is found in a lot of places. You don't even have to look for the game. Its still two player and still three lives each credit. Most places it's only two quarters a credit.

Graphics 7/10 - There the same aliens and S.T.A.R.S.S. figures as it was in the last game. The background is a little more sharp then the first on. The boss is the best use of the graphics in this game.

Game play 4/10 - Its the same old thing, except that there is two modes. Story mode is the first. It is way, WAY to short compared to any other shooting game. Took me two dollars to beat it. One thing is that it you don't have to reload at all in the game. The only part that gives you trouble is the Alien Queen, at the end of the game. It give you 90 seconds to beat her. The only way to do it is to save the missiles and grenades, that you collect in the game. Neat thing is all the secret areas in the game to get more points and power-up like 10-gauge shotgun bullets and machine gun bullets. The second part of the game is the practices. You do everything from shooting barrels to making sure that a truck doesn't flip over by zombies.

Controls 8-10/10 - The controls are very simple and easy to use. The reason for the 8-10 is that the guns maybe in bad condition, or one gun is broken.

Story 4/10 - Same old alien story. The S.T.A.R.S.S. make it a little different, and so does the Alien Queen.

Availability 8/10 - This game is every where, not as much as the first one but there is a lot of them. My friend and I walked to five different hotels looking for a different game. We didn't find the game we wanted but we found plenty of these. Its is also in most arcades.

Money-wise 9/10 - Very easy to beat without a lot of money. It should never take more then five dollars, unless your really don't know what your doing.

This game is fun for a while then it just gets boring. If you do find yourself with a few bucks, got nothing to do, and you find this machine some where, go for it.
