In 1997, this game would have been, well bad... OK. I was looking forward to this game. Giant robots, with guns, blowing up stuff. Nuff said! Well, no. From the moment you insert this game in to your Wii (on the disc start screen) you begin to see the home made production values that "shine" throughout the game. From the menu with no options (why have a menu). To given 15 seconds to select your character, in a single player game, where the characters have different stats. Then to the absolute lackluster game play. Hint, to beat the boss without getting hint hold left. When you're all the way left, hold right. Apparently the boss has no clue how to lead a target moving in a straight line at a steady pace. Not to mention that you have to shoot at like a billion things, and have NO autofire. Save the life of your wiimote and don't even bother renting this one. Too many good games out there to waste your time. Or pull out a Saturn or Dreamcast and relive some quality games. Hell they looked and sounded better ten years ago as well. Side Scroller Shooter Morphed When I first saw this game I thought it could be fun. I bought @ $20, after playing it I shouldn't have paid more than $5. This could have potential; giant mech suits, guns, shooting, ect. This game is basically a side scrolling shooter morphed into a first person. This game is set up like an arcade style game, timers on character selection, no continuing from save point, and a high score listing. This game gets tedious after about 10 minutes of game playing, if not from the start. Possibly the only good thing about this game is that it would be fun to play in a contest with a group just to see who has better finger speed. If you love the side scrolling shooters of the past, you might want to rent this game.
