Graphics 7 out of 10
The graphics of this game were all right. The special effects of
some of the weapons were cool, I specially enjoyed the twin
laser cannon, this is also my favorite gun. The best viewed level
is the last one, I think that level was very sweet.
Music and Sound 8 out of 10
The music of the game was pretty cool. The only thing I didn't like
is that there are two songs they play for almost every single level.
My favorite song was when you were fighting the multiple bosses,
it was one of them. The sounds of when you fire and destroy monsters
was also very realistic too.
Game Challenge 8 out of 10
This game is very challenging, up to a certain point. The hardest
level was the speed level, though it saddens me to say, I have died
in that level many times. Some of the bosses were also very challenging,
the two headed fire beast and the huge monolith dudes, the one where
the one head was on the ceiling and the other on the floor. However,
some of the bosses and levels were so easy, I could have kept the
regular blaster through the level, which isn't the best weapon.
Game Play-Fun 9 out of 10
I really enjoyed this game. It was fun and very entertaining. It
only took me an hour of two to beat it, but it was fun none the less.
If you enjoy shooter/space type games, this is a must for you ship
shooters out there. It was in my opinion though, not the best ending
though. You may not like the ending, but the game was sure fun.
Frustration
There was however a level of frustration in some parts. The speed
level being the worst for this. Some parts it becomes so hard, that
if you don't have the right equipment, there is no way you can beat it.
Replayability 8 out of 10
I like this game because you can play it over and over and still
not be finished playing it. There is quite a variety of weapons
to chose from at the beginning. The are the preset ones, and the
edit mode ones. If you like variety in your games to the point of
where you want to play it again, this is one for you.
Game Value 7 out of 10
This game was somewhat well worth the price. If you like the
shooter space game than it was well worth the effort of getting
together enough money for this game. In my opinion
Overall 8 out of 10
My final conclusion of this game is..... GET IT!!!!! I loved this game,
I give it an overall 8 points out of ten.
