Although I'm having trouble getting the online multiplayer to last a full game Im enjoying the game none the less. Great throw back to the 16bit era!

**GavRedKing** · 13-06-2011, 10:51

D/L'ed it yesterday and must say its great fun. I was thinking of getting ti when it first came out and kind of forgot it since then but glad it was free and loving it.

Loving this game.....
Still playing through campaign on solo and co op with the missus.
Did have issues getting into online co op with friends, kept disconnecting.

Thanks tonydude for the hints, much appreciated.

Just finished playing it on grim. That last level is so bloody difficult.

**johnny_ultimate** · 15-06-2011, 14:04

Played through the first few missions and thought it was decent enough. Hardly the best the twin stick shooter genre has to offer - you're dealing in Bangai-O, Geometry Wars and Super Stardust territory here, and even the recent Lara Croft game - and it's a bit embarrassing how much it owes to Left 4 Dead (bomb zombies? Ahem). But it is a very different experience to the ones mentioned above, and derivative though it may be it does have a unique play speed and some interesting mechanics. Alas sometimes it feels very cheap in terms of enemy placement and it's way too ****ing dark at times.

I wouldn't pay for it, but for free, it's definitely good fun.

In regards to the darkness, i also had that issue, turned it all the way up in OPTIONS. also that slider bar thing when you first start the game for the darkness is pants, "Slide the bar so you can see all the boxes", it was either all on the top line or all on the bottom line for me.

tonydude · 15-06-2011, 20:00

i had no problem with the darkness, was perfect

johnmcdnl · 15-06-2011, 21:52

I don't like it

maybe I just need to play it more though...

cena · 15-06-2011, 22:00

JohnMarston · 16-06-2011, 12:06

I thought it was a bit crap at first but it's definitely grown on me. Controls took a little getting used to but I'm liking it more each time I play it.

all i need now is the skilled trophy

eddhorse · 21-06-2011, 13:35

I'd say that "graveyard shift" level will be tough on harder difficulty levels?

Took a life or two to figure out what was going on !!

JohnMarston · 22-06-2011, 09:27

Gonna be a pain getting the co-op trophies

splashthecash · 22-06-2011, 09:35

I have to say - I can't get into this game AT ALL!

I chose it as one of my freebies and regretting it now....movement is very difficult and as this is a pretty integral part of the game, I'm not enjoying it.

I don't know lads, maybe I'm just not giving it enough of a chance, I'll give it a shot again this evening.
