Gameplay

Developed by InterAction Studios, it retains the same core concept—fighting off waves of hostile chickens in a fast-paced shoot ’em up—but presents it with more structure, more content, and a slightly deeper layer of mechanics that make the experience feel more complete.

The computer effects for this one are just amazing, and are so different from the one I played as a kid - this game still has that fun, old-school feel to it, but the graphics have definitely improved, and makes this game feel modern, at the same time, which just makes Chicken Invaders 3 all the more fun! :D
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
10 of 225 sampled reviews raised it
I also really like that there was narrative text in this, which made the story really funny, and just made me love this game even more.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
7 of 225 sampled reviews raised it
One playthrough is still 2 hours long, but co-op also is available in this part so you can for sure get more hours from this game (especially because there is a pretty hard part which is the main source of my lost lives).
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
7 of 225 sampled reviews raised it
And the soundtrack for this game is just amazing - a beautiful twist of orchestra combined with really catchy hardcore beats (at times, the hardcore beat cuts out, and then it's just orchestra, it's really beautiful).
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
5 of 225 sampled reviews raised it
As for Multiplayer i do think that using CIU for it is the way to go since it seems to work way better than the one from the original versions.
