    Shooting stuff is fun, right? Unfortunately I didn't enjoy this game all that much. It's hectic and fun for a few minutes but gets a bit boring and isn't very involving, one reason could be that I simply don't like how it looks all that much. Too cute. I'll stick to Metal Slug, Contra and others if I feel like playing a game like this.

    This is a very fun, great looking game. It's not as difficult as the other reviews make it out to be. The various difficulty seetings and ability to restart on the last level played, mean you can finish this in one night. Which is too bad, because the one thing that would have made this game better is more levels. The mini-games get old real fast too. Some more weapon options, and This is a very fun, great looking game. It's not as difficult as the other reviews make it out to be.

Some more weapon options, and extras would have added to the package as well. Overall, a very basic side-scroller that's not to be missed. It has it's flaws, and could have benefitted from more power ups, levels and extras, but that's the icing on this already excellent cake.… Expand

    This is a great looking game and it's fun to play in short bursts. But by jiminy is it hard! At least 50% of the time when I die I have no idea what hit me, and I end up using 3 continues at 9 lives a pop in each just getting to the final boss. You might say that this is because I'm no good at shooters, but that's not the case. I was probably playing Super Probotector This is a great looking game and it's fun to play in short bursts.

You might say that this is because I'm no good at shooters, but that's not the case. I was probably playing Super Probotector before you were born! I really enjoy this game, but ultimately the difficulty has put me off and it spoils the flow to have to play every level 5 or so times before progressing. You've gotta respect the independant nature of this title though and it's great to see some innovation (and rennovation) in the video game world. Hurrah for gameplay!… Expand

    Oldschool bloody kicka** shoot-em-up! This game is just so damn awesome!!!!!! how cool is it to jump on the shoulders of an F.B.I.-agent, bite his head off in front of two other agents then slice up one of the two remaining agents and pulling the final one down into the ground. After that 5 more agents appear and you can repeat the whole thing untill you meet an almost indestructible Oldschool bloody kicka** shoot-em-up!

Only one point that's not so cool.. it has 15 levels (not much) and 6 minigames (not much) so you played through the whole game in one afternoon (not much).. BUT anyway... It kicks a**! And the graphics are totally insane!! Coolest cell shading ever! A+!… Expand

    This is the only game that I have lots of bias for just because it was the first game I played on PlayStation and I really enjoyed it. this game has a surprisingly long campaign with lots of different bosses and levels. Also, it's surprisingly Gorey which suites it well for its cartoon style. Good game gotta give it a 9/10.

    Hello. So I use to play this on Web browsers at school and because flash died I wanted to play this again and brought it for £14. It does the job well if you like 1 hit run-n-guns

    It really is that well done. I shudder to think what this level of talent is capable should they try this whole milieu again, but I'm even more excited about what it could mean. You must, for the love God, support this game and give it the money it deserves.

    It has a very unique, underground comic look to it that makes the game almost as much fun to watch as to play.

    It looks good, it's cute and funny, the bosses are interesting, the control is tight, and the game is intense.
