The first time I played this game I completed the first 2 levels and gave up straight away, I hated the fact that every level is going to be the same; shooting hundreds and hundreds of spawning men, I left the came for a couple of months but decided to play it lastnight, I got quite far and started enjoing the levels, especially as I started being able to use more games such as the Golden Pisols and the huge SAW machine gun thing.
The specials on the game such as the precision aim is amazing and I love the way you can shoot someone in a curtain body area and they act to how the pain really would be (although I have to say, if I got shot in the mouth I wouldn't scream, I'd be dead pretty quick) lol.
I don't think Midway did a bad job of this game, amazing storyline too, although there are a few cheesy parts to it (such as when his daughter gets shot in the arm on the last levels and blood instantly appears all over her face) hehe.
Thanks for reading my review,

Liam.
