Customer Reviews
Review
-Content, 5 stars
This has many long lasting missions so don't worry about the content, It's got A LOT!
-Controls, 4 stars
The controls take some getting used to when your starting out, but you get used to it. It also has a left-handed mode (Go Lefties!)
-Visuals, 5 stars
This has very good visuals for and iPad game.
-Money, 4 stars
This is pretty much worth the money I think that it should be $5 (even though I got it for a $)
-Online Mode, 4 stars
This online mode is long lasting with many locations and modes. The only defect, though, are the hackers/cheaters. This really should be fixed.
Sniper Rifle in new update
I just updated the game. The graphics are noticeably improved and I am pleased with that aspect. My biggest concern is with the sniper rifle. The red pinpoint where the bullet travels is fuzzy and harder to shoot with. Being my favorite weapon, this is disappointing. Please fix it!!!
Great game
This game is just awesome. When I first got this game, it felt like winning 10 first place trophies. Even if it's at it's full price, GET THIS GAME YOU WON'T BE SORRY.
By the way I only put 1 star because some people are taking advantage of the glitch in the space stage. It's when they get UNDER the stage and can't get hit. They practically annihilate you! Please fix that then I'll give this game 5 stars.
