Dribbles 4: I assume it’s a “mistake” / unexpected solution when a level is solved with parts left over? I’ve done it at least twice so far. I forgot where it happened the first time, but the other was level 21. I had trouble with level 21 until I hit an over-solution. Wait for first two dribbles to die(!), put a step just to the left of the ice and put 4 boom top-left, wait for top-right dribble to die(!), place boom top-right. Level solved with an unused extend.

Well this just continues proving this game series has had way too many sequals. 1,2, and 3 were good games, three is my favourite, good progression through the series. Then we got another two in the same year, a moth apart, only 9 months after Jungle Siege. These clearly were less popular, and needed more work. With the City Siege series on an extended leave these past three years, i had high hopes. What we got after three years was a supposed continuation of three, thats worse if possible than the last two. This game has some serious problems that can make it a right pain to play. The amount of general rank mechz i lost becuase a tank fell on them is beyond count. I think i gave in at 8. Instant death is likely every time you go near a vehicle becase its liable to fall on you and explode, instantly taking you with it. Thats not counting the fact that you’ve given them even better premptive abilities, cuasing them to shoot even more hostages off screen, before any rescue attempt is possible. This means that you need to play it through with the spy, whos shuriken aim is abbysmal btw, and then just shoot your way through the rest. Fun sure, but pointless. Disapointed. 3/5. 3 for the fact the graphics are good as ever, the gameplay does have some redeeming points, and you’ve clearly put some thought into this one, meaning its had alot of work. Disapointed, yet hopeing for an improvement in the (not too near) future!

if you’re planning to make city sige 5, seriously, don’t make these many mistakes you did on part 2:1)don’t make it so you have to collect gems, or at least don’t make them disapear and burn in fire. 2) don’t remove stars, stars are awesome, removing awesome things is never a good idea 3) don’t remove that many soldiers, you removed quite a lot in part 4(spy, commando, tesla tank, etc…) ideas for part 5:1) flamethrower 2) stages where enemies are attacking you and you have to defend things like VIP’s before the plane evacuates them or something, but still with multiple soldiers and buildings like in regular stages. 3) enemies should have all/most of the soldier types you can buy. 4) make less explosive things, that makes a lot of levels very easy.
