As much as this game has it's flaws, I like it. Just play on easy, and you can shoot and upgrade away, and it's fun. The story is relatively boring, but eh.
The timer isn't the problem. You should just figure out how to play it to beat the timer. It would be nice if there was a non-timer mode, though. I give 4/5
Ok, I change my mind, This game is really good, you just have to play it more than once, and figure out how to play if PROPERLY. Then it's really fun! 4/5 total score, I think it needs some modifications, maybe some different modes, and achievements.
