Picked up this game and was pleasantly surprised at how this arcade-style shooter looked. The game seems like a mix between Starship Troopers and Mech Assault, which isn't the best thing.The graphics for the Akrid are beautiful and in the earlier levels, the game play as Wayne was entertaining. Although there were limited hand held weapons the ones that you did have were effective for the job. The walking across some of the larger terrains was a bit of a drag, most of the levels had enough constant action that there wasn't any empty voids.

My major problem with this game is the VS. As you start out the game you get a brief tutorial, and limited time within one of these suits, which seems a little odd, because in the later missions its all you seem to be in. This is where the Mech Assault comes in. You end up walking through the levels in a VS fighting other VS (kinda like mechs). You will also run into larger Akrid that put some variety into the enemies that you are facing.

The story in this game is a little skimpy, not necessarily because there is no story, but due to the short cut scenes and the larger levels, the game seems to skip some dialog, and/or plot lines that would make the story a little more deep and meaningful.
