Good Points:
A game, which one could say was based off of “Alien”, where you (and a buddy) travel throughout your spaceship, cleansing it of aliens, while you try to find a way off of it before it explodes. So, does this game survive the Alien onslaught, or is it impregnated with the evil seed of “Crappiness”?

Graphics: This game has quite a few different aliens and their respective attacks, along with the 3 playable characters.

Sound Effects: A couple of bleeps, a couple of bloops, and you're done.

Music: There's only 2 (that I know of), so I gave a point for both of them. Normally, a lack of music could be scary, but not with this game.

Originality: Except for the “Alien” premise, this IS pretty original.

Play Control: Well, it's not that great. When you get hit by an alien, your character will sit down (when they falls over), and it takes them forever to get back up. This makes it irritating when an alien stays right on top of you.

Enjoyment: When you have 2 people moving through the ship, vying for kills, it's a little better. Not by much, though.

Challenge: This game is challenging, but only when it comes to figuring out what the HECK you're supposed to do!

Ending: Ending? HAH!


Bad Points:
Well, this game is freakin' hard! It'd be nice if the 3 different people actually had some distinguishing traits (one's all speed, one's all power, one's…well, one's a mix). And I wish there'd been MORE aliens! With less-cheap attacks!
