    For all the fun the game offers, and it is fun, it is brutally short... Admittedly there are a plethora of options to "unlock", but the game itself is all too brief. There is no versus mode either, something that would have added greatly to the replay value.

    Repetitive missions are a strike against it, but the real damage is done by the annoying auto-aim and the slow to respond control.

    It both gets old quickly and also feels frustratingly similar to plaing a Roadrunner cartoon in which your target is the fleet-footed bird and you're the poor, starving schlub strapped to the rocket and headed straight for the cliff. [Apr 2003, p.86]

    The fact is that it's just awful. Awful awful awful. It's ugly, frustrating and extremely repetitive.

    Sweet. I hope for a wave of fast-paced mecha shooters to hit North America.
