Top critical reviews
The most up-voted negative English reviews in our sample, quoted as written.
“Level design by the “copy paste and pray” school of architecture, enemies spawn in like confetti at a birthday party, loud, messy, and not nearly as fun as you'd think. Even the original game’s leftovers feel more polished than this.”
“Very buggy. Crashes often, doesn't scale properly to widescreen resolutions even with the HUD fix mod. Difficulty is unfair, making you choose between very easy where you can tank every shot without a care or very hard where you will be…”
