Hit him with a flashlight up close, begin vacuuming, and hold on tight.

Sucking up ghosts is a simple enough activity, but the portrait ghosts, thanks to require more elaborate requirements before you can commence vacuuming, make it a little more engaging. You don't jump, you merely walk around, tap on things and use the vacuum cleaner.

Although you're certainly not getting the full benefit without single-player.Īfter the sprawling enjoyment that was Super Mario 64, it was probably weird to have this kooky little game (and I do emphasise little) as a GameCube launch title. It's not as long as a regular Zelda game, and it's definitely more built for multi-player, but it's worth a look. Nothing ruins a game quite like having your batteries run out halfway through a dungeon.Īnd is it fun in single-player? Well, I guess so. You can still see those below if a player goes to the end of a screen on the TV, but it could've been handled better, really.

This means that players can go between areas without dragging the others there with them, or cluttering up the television screen with windows or a split screen, but it produces unnecessary worries like running out of battery power or lack of a light source for plain vanilla GBAs. Multi-player is a blast, but for it to work is needlessly complicated, as everyone needs a GBA and link lead the television screen is used for the HUD and the sections in the real world and above ground, whereas the GBA screen is for underground and the shadow world. The game is a set of worlds with two levels and a castle some are more puzzle orientated, some are more action packed, and some are even side-scrolling! This set-up means replaying your favourite section is a lot less frustrating, instead of having to play up to the part you're looking for on another save file and hope nobody overwrites it. Everything feels as if it were a classic Zelda game around the time of Link's Awakening, although instead of a vast overworld, it's a lot more arcade-like. Of course, without multi-player you play as four Links at once, which is a change, to say the least. They may not be 'indie' games, but they're a lot more fun.Ī Zelda game with multi-player, of both co-operative and competitive nature? YES.

Maybe worth a rental, but if you've a PS2 or Xbox, just get Metal Slug or Contra. Regardless, the game is mildly fun at first, but quickly becomes more and more of a chore as it progresses. On the bright side, the 2-Player mode makes things a little more tolerable, and there are a number of crappy mini-games, the one most fun in the game being the PDA Game, which almost plays like Pitman, or Donkey Kong GB, and is easily the best part of the game. It's a painful experience, especially when things hit an absolute low in Area 51. Levels drag on and on with barely anything happening, and weapons are rare. The final boss is notorious for this.Īnd in later levels, everything becomes monotonous. There's no temporary invincibility, but merely a shield that is destroyed in one shot, and is penetrated entirely by certain attacks, allowing you to be killed after reviving. While you are given a number of grenades and weapons you pick up all contain a healthy amount of ammunition, you always seem to die quickly. There's a difference between a game being difficult and cheap. See, everyone praises the game for it's difficulty. Not like you'd know you have them, as unlike Metal Slug and its weapons having distinct advantages in certain situations, the weapons in Alien Hominid just seem to be thrown in so they could show different death animations. There are also the obligatory weapons, like a laser, toxic gas shot, and freeze ray, but thanks to the 'tough' difficulty, you never really get to hold onto them for very long. The alien does have some additional moves, like a roll and backflip, the ability to burrow underground and drag enemies down, as well as riding on the head of an enemy or ally, as well as a charge shot, but they're really not that useful unless absolutely necessary. You can't aim diagonally like both Cyber-Lip and Metal Slug, but unlike the latter, you can't shoot bullets diagonally. I guess that's right in terms that they're of the same genre, the characteristic animations and gore, but the game plays more like Cyber-Lip, in terms of manoeuvrability. Originally a crappy Flash game, Alien Hominid is now punched up a notch as a console game, but it's still pretty crappy.Įveryone keeps comparing the game to Metal Slug.
