    It's a small game that feels big while you are playing it, a laudable accomplishment for a $10 title.

    Alien Breed 2: Assault is a great sequel to Alien Breed: Impact. Compared to its precursor, it has improved in terms of graphics and gameplay.

    Alien Breed 2: Assault stays very close to the roots of the genre, which gives it a touch of old-school charm, but it feels archaic next to newer offerings like Alien Swarm and Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light.

    Adrenaline-fueled crescendos and bosses toss in some welcome fun to the experience, but not nearly enough. [Jan 2011, p.77]

    Another Alien Breed remake results in another failure. What was great back in the Amiga-times is missing and a remake is just a boring and repetitious shooter with a small variety of enemies in uniform environments. [Issue#197]

    i hit a couple of bugs not sure what caused them exactly, i lost mouse aim pressing esc cured that, but then i lost ability to control menus while at a console, so i couldn't save and buy items, shift + tab to open steam screen cured that.    … Full Review »

    Same problems as the first part. Read my review of Impact to find out more. Pickens out, trying to find some good fries to eat.
