Game Play- 10
This game is really fun to play and is very addictive also. The ability to chomp the heads off people is particularly fun. You also have a laser gun that you can use to kill the agents who are after you. It is truly awesome when you upgrade the gun into a stronger weapon. A really enjoyable example is the flamethrower. Ohh, to see those agents literally crumble in front of you will give you quite a laugh. This game is actually pretty funny, even when you eat the heads off peoplel is actually really funny. Another thing is that in the beginning Alien hominid is brutally hard, but is still is very fun. There is a boss battle at certain points in a stage, and some are hard and some not. The game play overall is pretty awesome and funny, also

Sound- 9
Sound in this game really is not bad, I just wish there were more sound effects. The ones they have in Alien Hominid already though are pretty good, like hearing the screams of an agent after you just ate the head off their partner. So sound is good, but could have some more effects.

Story- 8
TYPICAL , you crash land on earth and you fight to get your spaceship back that the agents took from you. So yea there really is nothing in the story area, but the game play is so good it makes up for a weak story. Plus, for 10 dollars, do you really need a really strong storyline?

Graphics- 10
You gotta love the old school graphics here. It has a cartoon-ish look, which suits it perfectly. Really there is not anything special about the graphics, it's just that they are cool looking and suit the mood perfectly. So overall they are just great.
