This game is very simple and fun.

PRO: The first few levels are the best becuase the weapons available at the time are different from each other and are useful in different situations. However, later on the earlier weapons become almost useless because of their low damage and/or firerate. Earlier levels really take advantage of the level design to create interesting encounters.

CON: The level design in later levels gets annoying and uninspired. The last two levels just throws a lot of enemies at you at once. Your only strategy in those levels seems to be kill faster than they can respawn or rush in and hope you don't die.

Overall, for $4.99 this is a great game. Great fun, but that goes down at later levels.

The game itself isn't bad. As a parent, I appreciate that you can turn on the green slime instead of the red blood. Small difference but its not so horrific on the screen for my smaller kids.

The game itself is fun. I like how you can buy different equipment and weapons to make the game more unique. However after level 3 you can almost just give up. Its too hard. WAVE after WAVE eventually makes it too difficult. Eventually you will hit the aliens who throw acid at you, and even after the initial hit, you continue to lose points. Sometimes it is impossible to move away because aliens are surrounding you.

So I like the game, but it gets so hard I lost interest in playing it. So did my boys. So its worth a few bucks, but don't spend too much on it.

This is a fun game, non stop action. The problem solving aspects are pretty simple (find stuff, blow stuff up) and the strategy revolves around weapon and character upgrades. The good news, each level will challenge you to solve the problem up to level 7 or 8. Once you get the "best" stuff, the last two levels are not a challenge at all. They have a TON of monsters to shoot up, but by that time you have the uber-gun and a fully developed character. Not very challenging on what should be the hardest levels.

I have seen a couple of opinions that the game is too hard. Not true, but you CAN get to a point in the game where bad purchase choices make finishing a level very very difficult.

Overall, a great "time killer" game, you can pick up where you left off after a month without a hiccup. For the price, a keeper.
