This game is way too hard..

[FATALASSASSiiN]

Im having trouble completing 1-1... arrr... its going to be hard getting 5 gs on this game let alone 200 lol..

[AestheticaL]

Apparently they arent TOO hard, you just need practice. Theres a couple of people who've gotten 8-10 achievements already today, including beat the last boss without using a continue....

[FATALASSASSiiN]

Wow.. I just got my first 5 (woot).. I know how to beat A boss without continueing but its going to be hard =))..

EDIT: Just found out how to change it to easy mode lol.. I was doing it on medium.. Silly me :)

[SuicidalS0ulja]

Sure there isnt a difficulty for nursery children xD

I managed to do the first bos easily, took a while though. . . after i worked out was fire was lol

[FATALASSASSiiN]

Now all you have to do is buy the game and do it again.. hehe..

[SpartanMkII]

its like geo wars u get used to the controls after a while, but there are some enemies that i just cant work out how to escae from, like the twister or the vulture

Looks like the new generation of gamers aren't used to side scrollers to me. This game is fairly easy. If you have problem on 1-1, wait till you get to later stages

You need to think. Not just pop the first thing that moves. This isn't Quake or Half Life. You have to learn to use everything you have.

For eg, the twister and vultures. There happens to be a move called Dig, which is down+Y

Wow, thanks man.. Im begginning to get used to it.. but its going to be hard to complete it on easy mode =)).

I partly agree and partly disagree.

I beat the game in my first try, but dude, this game makes Contra look like a Barby game and I'm not kidding, I'm hardcore Contra all the way, got all the achievements.

Once you get used to the moves, it becomes average difficulty, but some parts where there's bullets and giant fists in every pixel, you are DEAD.

I gotta work on the harder difficulty achievements.

Indeed newer gamers aren't used to side-scrolling shooters, but Alien Hominid is not easy. Stop bragging. If you managed to do well in it, that's because you practiced like hell and stayed on your toes the whole time.

Just got my 20 min achiev & also kill 1000+ achiev. Got 45 Gs on this now =)..

According to Tom Fulp, the game Metal Slug was inspiration for Alien Hominid.

As some of you know, Dan Paladin and I created Alien Hominid, now available as a console game for PS2 and Gamecube in the US as well as PS2 and XBOX in Europe. It's pretty obvious that I'm a HUGE Metal Slug fanatic! I am honored to present this collection of Metal Slug games, tributes and parodies, starting with the games:

...I really don't think that needed confirmation...

And the game isn't that hard. Now, we get some Ghouls 'N Ghosts / Ghosts 'N Goblins on XBLA, then people can start talking about a side scrolling game being hard.

Only got 50 points so far, I feel like such a casual gamer.

Yikes, at least I won't have to waste my life savings in the arcade on those again...

And don't forget Kid Icarus on the Wii's virtual console. Now THAT is a hard game!

Haha, I didn't think of it that way. I guess all my time with Contra, Bionic Commando, Master Blaster, Rush 'N Attack, etc. is finally paying off.

I may suck at Halo, compared to today's youth, but I can kick their asses in Double Dragon and Duck Tales! ;)
