Did you ever play the game Beachhead 2000? I’m not talking about the PC version, but the arcade version, where you have to put on a helmet and rotate around to shoot the bad guys?  It was a lot of fun to be staring out of my visor onto the battlefield and mowing down wave after wave of enemy, rotating left and right as if I were in a real gun emplacement.  It gave the game a sense of reality because you actually had to rotate your body to track and shoot, like virtual reality.

Aliens Need Brains brings back some of that feeling with a gameplay style very reminescent of Beachhead, with a few interesting twists.  In this case, instead of fighting against a oncoming army, you are fighting against aliens who are after your brain.  Why they’re after your brain I can’t imagine, but who cares?  There are 6 different kinds of aliens, which have a character design I haven’t seen before.  Well, kinda.  I suppose they look like a cross between the aliens from Mars Attacks and zombies.

Instead of playing in first-person view, you play in third-person, with the camera tucked behind a young man shooting through wave after wave of oncoming aliens.  At your disposal are 7 different weapons (though for any given wave you can only equip three of them), ranging from a standard pulsar (pistol), mega pulsar (machine gun) or blaster (shotgun), to more esoteric and clearly homemade weapons like a “foozuka” (a bazooka with an explosive football head). To further help your chances, your pulsar and your character can be upgraded with the money you earn killing aliens, while the other weapons all use ammo that you can spend money to replenish.

The graphics are great, too.  Designed from the ground up to take advantage of the iPhone 4 and its Retina Display, it looks gorgeous.  Taking a page from camp horror fare, it manages to be both cheesy and cartoony while still managing to be very creepy, especially when they start coming in larger numbers.

And when I say it was designed from the ground up for iPhone 4, I mean it.  It is, in fact, exclusive to the iPhone 4 and the 4th generation iPod Touch because it’s control mechanism uses the onboard gyroscope to pan around.  This means that you have to rotate yourself (or the phone) to turn and face the aliens, just like at the arcade with Beachhead.

The problem, though, is that, if you’re gaming on your iPhone, odds are you’re not in an arcade.  If, like me, you do most of your iPhone gaming on the bus or train, it’s not really possible to start spinning around to aim.  Although I guess if you’re on your break at work and you have a swivelling office chair you could do that, but otherwise the mechanic, while clever and fun, isn’t exactly stellar in most places where I game.

So I guess it comes down to where you game.  If you game at home, even a little, and you like shooting games you will love Aliens Need Brains.  If you don’t do much gaming at home, though, you’d best be in a fairly open space and not be easily embarrassed before you turn this one on.
