  1. As a no-frills action RPG, this game knows what it is and does what it does exceptionally well in all areas - and I for one couldn't be any more ecstatic over how it turned out.

    In terms of fun factor, it doesn’t get much better than this. The game is definitely rough around the edges in a number of places and its slim production values often show through the seams of the otherwise lovely game engine, but none of that really matters. If you like shooting stuff, you will love this game.
  3. Technical issues mar what could be a great game. Even though it's not what it should be, I still recommend it for those of you that like your violence in large graphic doses.
  4. Swing and a miss! You can safely skip this one even if they cut the price in half. [May 2007, p.63]

  1. This is a great game! Quite well balanced, fast and furious action. I completed this one pretty much nonstop over 2 days. Unputdownable. Last level was simply white nuckle nailbiting action! Runs well on a modern computer, good graphics. Expand

    This game is almost exactly the same as the previous one; HELLA FUN VIOLENT ACTION!!!
    If you are bored and you just want to blow the shit out
    of countless aliens then look no further! The only thing this game lacks is stunnig graphics and HD stuffz, but those are not the things that make a game FUN right? Expand

    This is the kind of game that revolves on one visceral quality - carnage. The fun in this game comes from killing things, LOTS of things, in a satisfying manner. I sincerely enjoyed it. The graphics are average, but they work - since the fun doesn't come from looking pretty, but rather from content, I don't think it makes a difference in the end. Expand

    This gets too repetitive too fast. Guns like an MP5 become useless in a heartbeat by guns that do triple damage with more accuracy very quick. All the gun classes just jump up extremely in power wildly, with the best doing 20x the damage with the same ammo. Everything else is mediocre save for gameplay, which becomes a chore just to see the crap ending. Even at the $10 price this game won't be worth it unless you need a quick fix for a game right away, the fun lasts only a few minutes at a time at the longest. Expand
