Xbox Hominid Gets Chicken Pack

Run and gunners rejoice. It has just been announced that the Xbox version of the much loved ‘Alien Hominid’ will feature a few new tricks up its sleeves to make sure that the game is even better than ever before. The new content comprises of 2 packs of brand new PDA levels. The new Packs of levels, "Chicken Pack" and "Ultra Hyper load" both contain 25 new levels each. Recognised by the press as one of the most innovative parts of the game, the new levels are sure to add new challenges to gamers.

Alien Hominid is a fast-paced 2D side scroller where players must run, jump and shoot their way across the globe in pursuit of the alien's coveted UFO. The artwork is completely hand-drawn and hand-animated. The game comes complete 16 levels, complete with mini-bosses and main-bosses.

The player has seven power-up weapons, which also upgrade. Alien Hominid also contains vehicles including cars and trucks, in addition to tanks and other offensive vehicles. You even get to fly your UFO on several occasions!

I have the GameCube version of this game myself and whilst I haven’t had a chance to have a really good play yet, the game has a huge amount of charm, animated violence and plays like a mix of Contra (Probotector) and Viewtiful Joe – which can’t be a bad thing!
