I do remember that part you mentioned after the helicopter gets taken out being a bitch. Check out this video though and see how this player handles it

Yeah, that's kinda how I tried to handle it, but I guess I'm just not as good a shot as that player.

I just tried the method used in the video and it worked pretty well. I was able to get to the 4th stage on a single credit for the first time because of it.

Yeah, I imagine watching this dude would teach me a lot, but I wrote the review after I first beat the game (and I made MANY attempts) and I wanted to beat it without looking for help. After all, things will always seem much easier when you have expert telling you exactly what to do.

Looks like an awesome game but what's with the gun names? Berltta M92F, Glog 18 and Dessert Eagle? Copyright infringement? :lol:

Yeah, they have to either license the names or make up their own names if they are going to sell it.

I remember the same happening to Counter-Strike. While it was a free-to-download mod, all the guns were accurately named and everything... but then, when they started selling it in a bundle with Half-Life and other mods, they had to change all the names to ones that wouldn't have Heckler & Koch knocking on their doors.

No shit. I wouldn't want Heckler & Koch knocking on my door, either.

GREAT review! I really love your writing style.

I just finished this game on MAME about ten minutes ago and I also was wondering what the hell was up with the ending... thought I got a bad one or something.

Thanks! Glad you liked it.

Guess I'll have to share some more at some point.
