How fitting that I would finally review the game that started my love for gaming in general and is fittingly ironic for the fact of what would happen years later to me involving chickens. This probably won't be as long as some of my other reviews based solely on the fact there's not as much that I really can talk about with this game.

Graphics 6/10 -
The graphics in this game are okay nothing really blows me away though I will say that the different weapons all look different and look nice for the time this game released or well originally released. The chickens are all perfectly ugly and I don't mean they look bad graphically.


Sound 6/10 -
I can only recall two songs ever really playing in this game and that's on the opening to the game and during little cutscenes in between worlds but that's alright cause the song for the opening is a bop and the song for cutscenes works perfectly for the comedic tone. However with the remaster the default OST completely changes the music and ruins it going for a more Star Wars sounding track that doesn't really feel special and honestly feels pretty generic.


Addictive 7/10 -
The game can be decently addictive challenging you to beat it. As a young kid I always wanted to play and beat the game but never could cause I lacked the skill needed but as an adult I can have a fun time playing through the whole game in one sitting. I think the game can be fun to replay until you beat it once you do that you don't have much reason to come back to it again and again or anything.


Story 5/10 -
The story is really simple but works really well for this being a more arcade like title. To give my normal run down just when it seems all of the evil chicken invaders are wiped out a whole other wave chases down the hero forcing him to go through the galaxy to wipe them out.


Depth 7/10 -
Chicken Invaders 2 probably sounds really simple from how I've described it so far and in ways it is but it's simple in a way where it can be fun to keep playing while also moving the series forward quite a bit. One of the greatest improvements made with this game is the introduction of different kinds of weapons to mix up gameplay and on top of that you can keep getting upgrades making you more overpowered to keep killing the chickens that are basically space invaders. This game also introduced more new kinds of waves where the chickens won't always just be in the default space invaders pattern and instead can be dropping from parasols and rushing the player from up high. The game features 110 levels where every 10th wave is a boss fight where the game will put your skills to the test!


Difficulty 5/10 -
As hard as I used to think this game was I've come back to it as an adult and realized with any kind of understanding of the game you can likely get the hang of it within a few attempts. The game does have a live system and you have to restart the game if you lose all of them so that can still be stressful at times if you get into a bad situation with only one life.

Overall 7/10 -
This game was great growing up but the more time passes the more I can see that nostalgia holds it higher up for me than it really should but I still think it's a good game just not as great as most of the other games I've covered.
