"Detective XXXX has uncovered a chain of murders and finally tracked down the criminal mastermind, as well as uncovering dozens of escaped fugitives, hired assassins, convicted felons, several of politically corrupt officials, scams, and cases of embezzlement. He is expected to receive a medal for all his contributions."
Wow. This is... actually really sad. Every wave, the game adds in little tidbits of information that really give you a history of this alternate WWII setting. Paris getting nuked, scientists staying behind to try to find a cure to the gas, Australia getting 50,000 new immigrants... ---
The music is really fitting to the theme too, I think. It's sad but also epic and with a sort of action feeling. It's really quite inspiring. ---
The gameplay is fairly interesting too. Desperately flying around, scrabbling for power-ups and trying to get that plane before it gets you, all the while reading the waves and getting this feeling of hopelessness and sadness.
I especially like the plane-buying. I know that upgrading your whatever is fairly common place, being able to choose all kinds of different planes and only being able to choose planes, instead of guns/armor/whatever too gives me a feeling of realism. I mean, WWII planes can't just mix and match components.
My ultimate goal for every time I play this game is to get as many knifes as I can in me.
Also, my motto: 'You hit me with a bottle, I shoot you with a bullet.'
This has the potential to become something great, possible roleplay, competition, and etcetera. If it had a chatting system. I mean I honestly believe that to be the top priority.
This game is fun at first, but quickly degrades into frustration and anger. On the 8th level, if I blow up the sides, and the middle pillars, they usually all fall into the water, but whoop-de-doo! When they have all fallen into the water, it says there are still some remaining, and then it says the bridge ain't blown enough. I just spent two hours on the 8th level. Nothing worked. 1.9/5 because of this.
