Aside from perhaps Crazy Climber, Alien Shooter 2 may be the most accurately named title in the history of computer gaming. There are aliens, and you shoot them. Good Lord, are there a lot of aliens. You won’t be believe the number of aliens. You won’t believe the number that appear onscreen at a single time, and you won’t believe how many more are just an explosion away after you think you’ve finally finished a level. And, as I may have mentioned, you’ll have to shoot them. All.
