2.0 out of 5 stars Very Short and Disappointing, September 24, 2006

Only 2-1/2 stars on this one. This could have been a better game although somewhat challenging and enjoyable. Very short gameplay, and would rate this $5.00 max.

Rather boring game play. After playing games like "far cry" why bother with this one. The graphics, while needing more than a 64mb videocard and run with my 256mb ATI card still suck. Boring and predictable. When firing the weapons its like shooting a popgun even through my Bose audio system. Speaking of weapons; whats up with the 3 round burst on the m16? Nothing to write home about with this one. I like TaskForce 121 much better.

Anything that is from GROOVE games is low budget and usually kind of cheesy, its playable but obviously is loaded with so much cheese you will be constipated for a week.Dont pay more than 4-5 bucks for this game groove games are very short, you can finish them in one night paying more than 5 bucks is just to much for this super budget shooter
