	PS2 Game Reviews: Alien Hominid
		If Alien Hominid were an arcade game, people would call it a "quarter muncher." That's because there's hardly ever a moment when the screen isn't completely busy with bullets and laser fire, and also because our little alien buddy doesn't have a health meter.
		Not-so coincidently, Alien Hominid first came to life as one of the many Shockwave Flash animated games that are available for play (free) at Newgrounds.com.
		Alien Hominid is one of "those" games that looks great because of its artistic style, and not necessarily because it pushes the PS2's graphical horsepower to new extremes (which it does not).

	Alien Hominid First Look - PlayStation 2 News at GameSpot (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Alien Hominid's story is a simple one, and it unfolds much like a director's cut of E.T. in which, rather than passively sitting back to play with a Speak and Spell and sucking down Reese's Pieces, E.T. comes packing an alien piece.
		Unable to communicate with the locals, the small alien busts out his trusty green laser pistol and grenades and begins speaking the universal language of "blowing stuff up" to the scores of FBI agents and outlandish bosses that stand between the alien and his intergalactic set of wheels.
		The gameplay in Alien Hominid is old-school gold and features a run-and-gun mechanic that feels both old and new at the same time.

	Alien Hominid - GameCube (GC) Reviews - The Armchair Empire
		Alien Hominid was just joy-riding in his ship through Earth’s atmosphere when the FBI blasted him (or it) out of the sky.
		Besides the non-stop action, the aspect that will suck you in is Alien Hominid’s style which seems to combine elements from The Simpsons (bold, solid colors), the old Calvin and Hobbes comic strip (whacked character designs) and a third element that feels familiar but that I haven’t been able to identify.
		Considering Alien Hominid’s humble beginnings as a web-based flash game, the game we get here is as good or better than most side-scrolling shoot ‘em ups in recent memory.

		The plot from Alien Hominid is the single greatest piece of evidence as to the game's origins, assuming you didn't already know (though the graphics would be a close second).

	IGN: Alien Hominid Review
		Hominid also adds a left or right quick roll, the ability to jump on the heads of enemies to direct them around or throw them, and a burrow maneuver that enables the little yellow protagonist to hide from attacks and pull foes into the ground.
		All told, Alien Hominid features about 15 of these insane levels, which means there are roughly 15 boss encounters (all very distinct) and tons of mini-bosses dotted along the way.
		Your little alien (and a friend's alien if you want to play together), are stranded on Earth and you have to kill things...lots of things.

	Alien Hominid \| PopMatters Multimedia Review
		Alien Hominid's 2-D sprites and backgrounds were designed by artist Dan Paladin, and exhibit a delightfully casual, hand-drawn quality.
		Inverting the typical formula of protecting the Earth from extraterrestrial invaders, you play as an alien interloper trying to retrieve your crashed spaceship from an increasingly dangerous series of hostile human institutions: the FBI, the Red Army, and whoever it is that runs everyone's favorite not-so-secret alien research facility, Area 51.
		Alien Hominid is a simple run-and-gun game, but what it lacks in complexity it more than makes up for in intensity.

		Your alien is also equipped with a limited number of grenades, which take on the attributes of whichever power-up your main gun enjoys.
		Alien Hominid has a great co-operative mode that just throws another little yellow buddy onscreen to help you kill and compete for the precious power-ups.
		Alien Hominid is one of my favorite games of the year and goes a long way towards proving you don’t need lots of fancy graphical doodads and the latest flavor-of-the-month gameplay to make a great game.

		Your basic weapon is the ubiquitous alien deathray which can fire little bolts of energy or be charged before firing for a stronger wallop.
		The Alien Hominid is also a quick burrower, and you can send him underground to both stay out of harm’s way and to grab unsuspecting enemies.
		With all of these attacks at your disposal you’d think that your Alien Hominid would be an unstoppable killing machine, but that’s not the case here.

		Hominid may be a cute little cartoon space creature, but he’s got a startling number of devious tricks up his sleeve.

	IGN: Alien Hominid: The Truth
		In Alien Hominid's case, we're happy to make the exception because we like Alien Hominid and feel it's deserving of further mention.
		Alien Hominid is a bright, charming, visceral sidescrolling shooter.
		The alien still runs, jumps, shoots and bites heads, but now he also flips, burrows underground, tosses grenades and much more.

	Review: Alien Hominid for GameCube on Gamepro.com.
		Alien Hominid attempts to answer that by breaking thru preconceived boundaries and showing that solid concepts work well in any form.
		Don't expect Hominid to be a straight port of the Flash game, the graphics, sound, and game engine have been totally revamped for its console inception.
		Old school side-scrolling shooters will always be a corner stone of the gaming market and Alien Hominid takes the classic shooter style of Metal Slug and meshes it with hand drawn wacky graphics reminiscent of Lilo & Stitch character designs.
