Great shooting fun
I'm not sure why it took me so long to get hold of this, but when I played it I really loved it. Definitely one of those games which is mostly very fun although occasionally infuriating when you hit a difficult bit. The weapons are on the whole very satisfying although I’d like to have had the ability to alter the order they came up in - for example, for slot 4 the minigun comes up first, but with the minigun's slow warm-up and faster ammo use, I’d prefer the tommygun for tight situations. People are absolutely right to say you need to be fairly tactical, as in the big fights you need to work out how you’re gonna take on each wave. Fortunately there’s no checkpoint-saving rubbish – you can quicksave and ‘hardsave’ whenever you want. I played on the ‘hard’ setting and this was ok for most of the time, though I did have to improvise at times – I discovered if you could get yourself knocked up onto a wall buy a bull, or rocketjump up there, it was a great help. But for the last couple of levels I admit I used cheats a bit – it was just too intense. The final bossfight is predictably rubbish, but overall the Egyptian setting made it a really attractive game, with enough variety in the enemies (though I’d have settled for less variety if it meant no skeletoids and suicide bombers…) and weapons to keep the interest. A good price on here so go for it.
