SummaryAlien Hominid is a fast-paced 2D side scroller where players must run, jump and shoot their way across the globe in persuit of the alien's coveted UFO. This version of Alien Hominid has been built specifically for consoles and it shows. The backgrounds ooze with parallax. Shrapnel scatters all over the screen. The explosions are the greatest hand...

Any game that can reference Contra, GodlenEye, Fargo, Mega Man, Tremors and include two Atari 2600-like mini games (Super Soviet Missile Mastar rules!) would already be alright in my book. But to do it like Alien Hominid does it is incredible.

Those of us that lived through the Atari and original Nintendo years will find this game to be a blast from the past, but you probably already knew that if you played the web game.

Hello. So I use to play this on Web browsers at school and because flash died I wanted to play this again and brought it for £14. It does the job well if you like 1 hit run-n-guns

If this review has not convinced you to go buy this game, then just go buy it anyway. Then come back to Mygamer and thank us for telling you to get it. The character design is precious enough to warm even the coldest Grinch.

Alien Hominid is a shiny, bloody cartoon you can play by a team of guys who wanted to make a shiny, bloody cartoon you can play. It works.

One of my favorite games of the year...It makes up for its lack of finesse with sheer style and quirkiness. [Dec 2004, p.168]

This is a very buggy game.

With frequent cheap deaths and enemy shot sthat are often lost amid the hordes of bad guys, the difficulty is just unholy. [Holiday 2004, p.88]

This is the only game that I have lots of bias for just because it was the first game I played on PlayStation and I really enjoyed it. this game has a surprisingly long campaign with lots of different bosses and levels. Also, it's surprisingly Gorey which suites it well for its cartoon style. Good game gotta give it a 9/10.

It’s fine. Funny to see a Newgrounds game on PS2. I feel like it should have just stayed a game that you’d play onNG, though. It doesn’t feel like a PS2 game. I’m sure it’s a fun beat em up with a friend, but it’s just not really my thing.

Shooting stuff is fun, right? Unfortunately I didn't enjoy this game all that much. It's hectic and fun for a few minutes but gets a bit boring and isn't very involving, one reason could be that I simply don't like how it looks all that much. Too cute. I'll stick to Metal Slug, Contra and others if I feel like playing a game like this.
