i found the graphics flat and lackluster. animation felt cheap. Backgrounds seemed too 'tiled' i suppose the word is. Music is good, however it sounded horribly distorted on my speakers... and i have good speakers. anyone else notice that? I played up to the end of level 2 (the cave one) before i gave in. Ai was foolish, for example they would shoot at me who was hiding away whilst the CPU good guys shot at near point blank range. I heard it took 3 years in the making? i see no evidence of that. overall i think it was overhyped. personally i dont think its revolutionary or anything like that. but complain or whatever, take the comments on board and make a better game! :D

The music in the first level distorts, and I think its the songs fault. The rest didn't distort for me.

I like it, but I think it's worth a 7/10 tops. The game slows down really badly, and once you lose your lives you have to start the game again, which is really annoying when you consider that I got to the Oil Refinery and snuffed it. It's ridiculously hard without continues. I don't have a problem with the music though, its all hardcore stuff which fits in with the theme of the game. The slow-down is annoying, however. Oh, and when you get to the train, and it starts to move, the background goes all strange. Parts of it remain still, parts "auto scroll", but it looks very messy and scrappy. Still, three years is a long time. I enjoyed it very much up till the point I died, but I dont think I'll be playing again for a bit...took me ages to get there.

kinda sad that after 3 years of work this game will only be on peoples computers a few days or weeks. I like the game except the graphics are real bland and tiny. I didn't realize there was no continues, i just got bored and quit once I got to the airport.

It's a good game, but not good enough for me to keep retrying it from the start of the chapter every time i die. also, the gravity when you walk off a ledge and the gravity when u jump are clearly different. u fall off ledges too fast.

I did find one bug tho, on the oil refinery, if you die when you have the oil-boots on, then you dont have them when you respawn.

"this looks awesome! " Alright, this really pisses me off, and I don't know why. Maybe it's because THIS GAME HAS BEEN IN DEVELOPMENT FOR ABOUT FOREVER AND YOU SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST HEARD OF IT BY NOW. Nice game BTW, my only gripe is that some of the sprites and backgrounds are lacking, and the game is impossible unless you cheat. The sprite problems aren't really relevant though since this game was started so long ago. I would give it a high 8 out of 10.

This game kicks so much ass, alot of detail put into this. i like how the Screen Shakes when an explosion happens and also theres lots and lots of things to blow up :). all in all id give this game a 8/10.

Me neither! Anyway this was a good game. I got to chapter 2 but I got bored because it's kinda repetitive :P Still good! :D (You should fix the distortion in the stage 1 track!!)

Looks good and all, but it's kind of frustrating to play the 2nd chapter, and it simply doesn't end. At some point I got tired and stopped - without finishing it.

one nice game, nice ghraphics/Animations and gameplay. Missing some music tough

16th February, 2004

not exactly my favorite... repetitive and the window is way too small :D should have added full screen support, and then a "DUCK" button! The difficulty is pretty skewed and there is nothing new here... maybe if friendly fire was "on" and the bad guys could kill each other some interesting situations could occur and something new would have been accomplished

Stop to use ModFX, it's very slow on old PC! Use ModFusion with a very well optimized code.

Okay, first off, it's a really nice game, and there are eleven weapons, not ten (or did you want to keep that secret?). The number of hidden places makes it really fun to play. There are some bugs I'd like to point out though: 1. It says you have to start over at the beginning of the chapter when you lose all your lives, but if you select Continue Game, you restart on the last level you were on, plus all the weapons already collected (minus any lives you lost, though). 2. The last boss (the Simon person) takes away your bazooka, but if you do that Continue Game thingy as mentioned above after getting on the missile, you restart with the bazooka. If you take it out, he grabs it away, but if you hide it (switch weapons) before he does, he just walks past you and eventually walks off the nose of the rocket and walks away on empty air. If you shoot him with any bullet weapon, he starts shooting you, but if you shoot him with a flamethrower, he doesn't react. 3. When you die from an explosion, sometimes when you respawn, you die again or recieve damage.

I get very bad lag when playing this, and occasional freezing. I reckon it's due to the music. I would very much appreciate it if you can make a version without music.
