CNET Editors' review
This far-out, space-shooter game replaces the usual mutants or aliens with squawking chickens who want to take over the universe. The concept reminds us of programs such as Space Invaders, since you must blast your way through hordes of chickens in Santa suits while avoiding their fire. The holiday theme also is reflected in the soundtrack and the graphics, with snow falling across the outer-space scene. We rather liked the graphics and the sound effects, and we appreciated the ability to reconfigure the control keys to our liking. You can't disable the audio, but you can choose from two difficulty levels and play with a friend. Though Chicken Invaders 2 Christmas Edition is quite entertaining, some users may find gameplay too repetitive, as many of the worlds are very similar with the exception of the chickens' appearance. Still, folks who are fond of arcade-shooter games may find this program enjoyable, especially around the holidays.Publisher's Description
From InterAction studios:
The chickens are back with their usual plans of world domination, and this time they're taking over Christmas. Forget all about Christmas Turkey and step up to Christmas Chicken in this festive edition of Chicken Invaders 2. Advance through waves of invading chickens, avoiding falling eggs, and collecting power-ups to boost your spaceship's firepower. The game features fast-paced arcade action for one or two players. Version 2.6 improves mouse control.

"Great Shooter Arcade"
Version: Chicken Invaders 2 Christmas Edition 2.6
Pros
Options available and the fact that it has 110 levels with, obviously, varying difficulty levels make this game fun and challenging.
Cons
No instructions. From what I've read, people can't seem to find a pause for this game. You can actually pause it if you hit "esc" and then resume where you left off. To minimize the paused game, simply bring up your windows task manager (ctrl/alt/delete).
