PS2 The Chikyuu Boueigun 2 - SP2000 Vol. 81 - New Import
June 12, 2019    Three months after repelling the first alien invasion as chronicled in the original Chikyuu Boueigun (Simple 2000 Vol. 31), the UFOs and massive insects are back for a surprise encore. Once again, players suit up in body armor, take up the gun(s), and fire heavy ordnance to bust up chitinous exoskeletons.    The new alien attack vanguard targets London at first and eventually moves to Tokyo. In light of recent events in The City, the gaming metaphor is a tad ironic. Massive creatures including arachnids and insect invaders such as centipedes and flying ants are on the rampage and only a well armed soldier can stop their assault. Over 140 weapons are available for fending off he beasts including machine guns, rocket propelled grenades, and guided missiles. When the insects explode, they'll erupt into a dust cloud of yellowish debris but when UFOs are taken down, they'll explode into fiery conflagrations that will also destroy any insects that are nearby. Watching a bunch of ants swarm a building is fairly impressive. Destroying the building and watching it crush all of the ants that were once swarming is doubly so.    Battle through 25 thrilling levels on foot but similar to the first game, vehicles such as a tank, a helicopter, and a motorcycle are also available to use as machines of war to beat back the insects.
