[i]First of all, I've to say that it's for Alien fans. It's pure nostalgia. Actually, graphics details and the story aren't bad. However, controlling the character correctly is almost impossible:/ If you play elite mode and your health is minimum, good luck. And that's exactly where I said[/i] [b]"adios amigos"[/b]
Don't fix what ain't broke. Alien Breed 2 is the same game as Alien Breed 1 except it adds a couple extra enemy types and a couple new guns (and the levels/story are different). One new gun in particular I loved. The campaign in this is slightly better than the campaign in the first game and roughly the same length. On Elite difficulty (hardest) in the first half of this game it seemed harder than Alien Breed 1...
Short review after completing the game on hardest (elite) difficulty: i will not go into full details as this is direct continuation of the first game and plays the same, so pros and cons from my first review apply also here. I will however mention some differences in this game. For starters now that we know aliens are here the actions starts right away and in force, you also fight 3 bosses, one very early in the
