Fairly wacky and varied, Aliens Drive Me Crazy has the right name. It's a game that starts out a little infuriating but soon enough, and with a few upgrades under one's belt, things vastly improve and it turns into quite an entertainingly simple game.
Once the hero reaches the base, he jumps out of his car and players control him running around, kind of like an auto-runner. One can't change his direction, only whether he jumps up or down a platform. Firing is done automatically too, which can make things a little hectic. The sole aim in the base is to work one's way up to the roof, taking out the aliens's defenses, but along the way one can also save various hostages. It's pretty simply done but strangely satisfying.
With an interesting mishmash of elements, Aliens Drive Me Crazy doesn't always quite work. Those reduced controls mean that sometimes the player just doesn't feel as in control as they should, leading to a certain amount of randomness. Mostly though, it's still the kind of game to dip into to pass a few minutes. Each level is pretty short so a lot can be done in that time, plus who can really resist a game that offers a robotic dinosaur chasing them down the road?
