Brings back memories
Dude, I remember playing Scorched Earth like eight years ago. You rule for bringing it back!!!
I do miss two things about the original:
1. The opportunity to buy new weapons and equipment. There was nothing so satisfying as wiping the grin off the face of some yokel who's sitting there with a level 3 by dropping a load of hot napalm on his ass.
2. The ability to set the power and angle. This let you really zero in on a target and make every shot count. You can still do it in this game, but it takes timing and is easy to mess up.
All in all, though, you rock and this game is getting a bookmark from me.
