Initial impression is extremely bad. You have a very strict time limit (your energy), so you have to keep running up as quickly as possible to get the next energy pickup, so you can't just PLAY the thing. At times I had to use a bomb just because it would take me 20 seconds to clear the screen and I don't have time to do that.

The initial weapon is rubbish. You have to aim at the baddies and run towards them to shoot them, or wiggle the joystick about to create a sort of three-way effect. In other games it's a slower pace, to the directional shooting isn't usually a problem.

The end-of-level baddies are so hard, I don't think I'll be playing this much more.

Not fun to play.

what a stupid idea of not only having the enemy fireing at you but to also have energy running out also causing you to die :angry:

Quite interesting - and the flying shark planes joined me and kept shooting all the baddies that came out for a while - unusual power up - didnt seem to be anything that triggered them though.

SP gives you a special - so far i've had extended energy (blue - extends your energy bar) / blaster (yellow - flamethrower) / shield (purple) / and i cant remember the name but some sorta spinning power up / and a 1up (red)

You can tell them apart by colours but i cant see what causes them to change colour between them

love the game though ... it's a corker !

After the dreadful high score table for Metrocross, this is one of the easiest I have ever seen! If it didn't automatically enter after the third initial it would be perfect!

Initial love for this has turned into loath. Character is too slow, then if you happen to get a speed up its too fast. The tiny walkways later on the second level don't allow any dodging of bullets. The time limit is a pisser when you can't move because the game fires wave after wave of its best men at you.

All in all, this game is my Gravitar.
