    Merely chewing gum for the brain. It is a frantic mind numbing twin-stick action shooter that is relentless at times. There is a story to be had but it takes a back seat to the twin-stick shooter chaos.

    Even when functional, however, Narco Terror lacks intrigue or interest, and feels like a lazy take on a well-worn blueprint.

    The only great thing about this game is the offline and co-op mode. Besides that it kind of sucks. The graphics are utterly disgraceful and the sound of the game is just substandard. This game isn’t good enough to survive on the current games market.

    Narco Terror tries so hard to be so simple and basic that it seems impossible for it to fail. But the truth is it does, and in a so miserable way.

    The best twin-stick shooters made up for their lack of 3D by adding personality, gameplay variety, and over-the-top ludicrousness. Narco Terror decided to add the third dimension, but then left out anything that might make someone want to play. An interesting choice, but not a worthwhile one.

    Playing with keyboard (as I did) is, at some point, quite awkward and chaotic. Dialogues and the storyline in general is more or less cheesyPlaying with keyboard (as I did) is, at some point, quite awkward and chaotic. Dialogues and the storyline in general is more or less cheesy (not to say that it's inappropriate for such game more like, simply cheesy in a "lame way", not "classy cool way"). Graphics is no concern for me, but cut-scenes and some animations could have been made better and smoother.

    Anyway, it would be a great thing to pay for and play, if only missions would be much more, enemy and weapon variety much wider and someone actually being on-line to play co-op with. Biggest letdown at this point is price about 10 Euros for less than 3 hour entertainment of which about 1 hour is spent on quite annoying "trial & error" methods solving so to say "problems" at some harder parts of the game.    … Full Review »
