GameCube Review: Alien Hominid - Page 2

There's a surprising soundtrack underneath the brutal, yet funny, action. It's orchestrated with a Hollywood blockbuster style. It doesn't seem like it would fit, especially considering the rather archaic graphical package. It does, adding another layer to an impossibly loud title.

Don't take Alien Hominid's cover in like it's for children. It's a cartoon, sure, just not one you'll want your family to be playing. It's one for the target video game demographic, including those who grew up playing Konami classics like Contra. That's the section of the industry that will find the most to like, and if you need an alternative to Metal Slug, this is the next best thing.
