theres only one reason why i gave it a 4
and thats because its production values are so high but other than that the gameplay is a been there done that approach with an upgrade system similar to most sidescrolling 2d shooters (which it partially is)
there is no replay value and anyone who shoots for high scores is wasting their time because there is no variation in the game. Any variation is completely graphical if you turned all those enemies and landscapes into little black and white boxes than you look at the game again all the levels are exactly the same.
the gameplay never changes and what else pisses me off is that the waves dont mean diddly squat because when u die u start back at the beginning of the level which wouldnt be so bad if u didnt have a gameover after 3 deaths and of course im talking about adventure mode the game is already challenging enough without being a complete pain in the ass with continues have a heart man.
this game can be summed up in a quote from avgn's review of the silver surfer
"you go to far up you die u go to far down you die u go to far to the left you die you touch anything you die you die you die you die die die die die DIE!"
survival mode is ur classic piss off of an arcade experience which is the only way to go with this game. Trying to complete adventure mode probably doesnt even reward you with anything it probably just says u win thats it the paper airplane saved the world or sum stupid stuff.
this game is terrible
