Well...
Well... I rarely give reviews are negative but since this game is featured on the front page I feel that I need to speak my comments about this one.
1) I can't speak for the whole game as i only played for about 15 minutes just FYI
2) Player movement is a little slow so when you only have your fists and you are trying to out menouver the enemy that has a gun its close to imposible.
3) the weapons are either underpowered (except grenade launcher it seems) or the enemies are overhealthed. i picked up some type of automatic weapon and there were 2 enemies on screen. I continually fired and tried jumping simultaneiously to avoid fire but it took too enough time to kill with the automatic riffle that the guy behind him got to hit me 3 times before i killed the first. and health is not in good supply it seems (never saw a health pickup so far)
4) controls could be better, id at least suggest switching the jump and attack buttons such that the fire button would be on the players primary index finger (makes it a little easier for most people) either that or make it similar to WSAD jumping and moving.
5) as said by many... the partner is useless and i didn't play enough to seem a reason switch to him as he does not seem to have a special attack or any other redeeming features. he also does not attack on his own :(
6) No upgrades or experience or powerups so far for the time i played. this gives the game very little REplayability
7) the main players special attack is good but the range is so short and makes it not that usefull because you have to get very close and by that time the enemy has shot you 15 times. (and now your dead)
8) i didn't play enough to find out if any of these points will change with game play but sadly the game did not hold enough of my interest (and i'm pretty easy to please usually)
I also want to say that although I said many negitive things... this game, without a doubt, had a lot of work put into it and should be praised in that regard. IMO it just needs a small amount of tweaking and possibly a small new feature or 2, and it would be 5 times better. The only reason i was so hard with my review is that it is on the FRONT PAGE, seeing as the quality of frontpage submissions is usually very high, i felt that I had to criticize also very high.
you have yourself a solid game with alot of care and love i'm sure, just the little things that i'm sure many would agree need to be changed or fixed to make it an exciting one!
Keep up the good work! Hope to see other great submissions in the future!
Have a great day author and every one else!
