After losing the three lives on your first try, try the mission you failed again, press quit, collect money, repeat untill you have enough cash to actually beat the mission and the missions that you have left to get the medium badge, find another game and forget about this one. realtime/turn based? scratch the real time, this IS turn based.
the bomb mission was annoying, pretty hard to find nearly invisible bombs. had to read a guide to find the last one. never ending video-skipping when retrying the marco mission with lousy hit detection. not impressed. I quess thats the only way to add difficulty to this game so that it would last more than five minutes to complete..
