    A fun little game that gets a bit too repetitive for its own good. It's a well conceived shooter with some nice presentation and it does a fine job organizing the achievements.
  2. Heavy Weapon might be distinctly unoriginal in what it does, but it's a fun, action packed experience that is ideal for Microsoft's online service.

    Heavy Weapon is a fun, if repetitive, game for one, but it is truly comical multiplayer diversion.

    We're so incensed with yet another Xbox Live Arcade game using "Robotron"-style controls. [Issue 17, p.116]

    Heavy Weapon is yet another Xbox Arcade game that is pretty fun to play with some friends.

    Twice the cost of Namco's reruns, three times the fun, and five times the replay value. Heavy Weapon is worth the 800 points for the Twice the cost of Namco's reruns, three times the fun, and five times the replay value. Heavy Weapon is worth the 800 points for the 4-player co-op Live play alone. It's the perfect stress reliever after a hard day. Full Review »
