Don't expect too much

Considering this game is from newgrounds, a flash site, this game is not really much with graphics or gameplay. All I can say, is it's some classic fun. First it's got the arcade mode, which is 1 or 2 player. This mode is just you crash onto earth, and you fight the FBI. The gameplay reminds me of contra, in a way. You can bite people's heads off, slice them up, or set them on fire. There are many power-ups for your gun, such as a bigger laser, a flamethrower, a spread gun (cough cough), and many other cool weapons that I can't explain. There are mini games, such as the PDA game, which is a good platformer, which offers more classic style like mario and so on. The main problems with this game are controls and difficulty. Let me say that I had problems with the controls. I don't want to get off topic, but super smash bros. melee has some GREAT controls, and whenever I pick up a gamecube controller, I automatically get used to super smash controls. So with this, I was jumping trying to enter cars, entering cars trying to jump, and so on. The next problem is difficulty. 1 shot kills you, and you have about 5-8 lives. So, like contra, you spawn where you die. So you run out of lives quickly, considering that bullets are small and hard to see, and you only get 3 continues. I personally couldn't make it past the 2nd level. The bosses are just INSANE for my level.
So if you are good at contra, try this game. If you are impatient and stupid, like me, leave it where it is.
