Summary
[Playstation Network] Heavy Weapon fans can enjoy a new feature created exclusively for the PS3, which is the ability to shoot down and destroy the supply helicopter as it delivers power ups to you. It makes some of the later levels a bit more challenging since you have to pay more attention to your allies while you’re shooting down everything else in the sky. [Playstation]

Thunderbolt
It’s not cerebral and it’s not subtle, but it’s bloody good fun, and exactly the sort of quick blast one might expect from downloadable games.

Yes, it's simple but it's also a hell of a lot of fun. [Issue#187, p.87]
Gamer 2.0
Though Heavy Weapon may not a fresh, new title for PS3 owners to play, it’s still a fun, simple experience that is worth the $10 price tag, especially if you have friends with which to tackle the survival mode.
Read Full Review >IGN
Heavy Weapon is a fun little game that gets a bit too repetitive for its own good.
Read Full Review >Gaming Age
A surprisingly challenging shooter, but not necessarily the best looking one out there. My only real gameplay issue with the game is that it's almost too slow and easy at first, and the plodding pace that the auto scrolling levels go by can start to bore a player before you get to the harder stuff in the mid-game section.

Essentially good at what it does. [Christmas 2009, p.90]
Gamestyle
With trophy support and some decent game modes, Heavy Weapon is entertaining and fun.
Read Full Review >Video Game Talk
If Heavy Weapon feels like an online Flash Game at any time, you’ll be happy to know that it basically is. There’s fun to be had here for sure, but it’s not the same type of fun that you get from a long epic story.
Read Full Review >Strategy Informer
Ultimately, it’s Heavy Weapons quick decision to leave all casual players in the lurch that leaves it scoring lower than it should.
Read Full Review >Gamers' Temple
Heavy Weapon is fun in short bursts, but just doesn't give you enough bang for your buck.
Read Full Review >Destructoid
The ease of play, robust upgrade system and mindless shooting should provide plenty of fun if you choose to download. But like my scuffed and worn loafers, the game is showing its age.

A cheap and cheerful arcade shooter. [Sept 2009, p.112]
PS3bloggen.se
This is a perfect time killing game. It is simple and relatively minimalistic, yet strangely entertaining if you overlook its core gameplay. Heavy Weapon was originally designed for the web, and it shows as it utilizes very little of the power the PS3 has to offer. Sadly, the web is really where this game belongs, not on a cutting edge gaming machine. Save your money, pal.
