Wouldn't be that bad of a game if there weren't crippling lag issues in some portions of the game; the second boss fight is really laggy, and you end up with CONTROL lag, the worst kind of lag, which makes it virtually impossible to get through the fight undamaged. Poor programming is very evident there. Otherwise the game is pretty mediocre, but the lag issues really hurt it.

Tips: Homing missiles can help you hit all enemies, and can be useful for getting 100% kills. But remember that the rocket launcher and flame thrower are the most powerful weapons. The flame thrower is the fastest to kill with if you can afford loosing some life getting close. Otherwise, the rocket launcher is your friend. Also remember that when you get hit there is a short while when you are blinking, and can run through. Mortars take out soldiers the best, and you can fire them while shooting the other gun. That should help you :)

ok lets look at the facts shall we? 1) Glitchy, we all know it, don't deny it. 2) No quit option, no restart option, and when you lose you have to go through a million screens to get back to what you were doing. 3) Survival mode is a bitch, you all know it. How is this game a 3.83!? it should be like a 2.83 or lower... stupid idiots give it a 5/5 for stupid reasons

For those wondering, these times gave me gold medals, and these are my guesses for limits:
Level 1: 1:58:77 (guessing 2 minute limit)
Level 2: 3:24:11 (guessing 3 minutes and 30 seconds limit)
Level 3: 1:49:72 (guessing 2 minutes limit)
Level 4: 1:49:80 (guessing 2 minutes limit)
Level 5: 1:59:80 (guessing 2 minutes limit)
As far as I know, you need 100% kills to get a kills gold star, and I think you need 25 damage taken (to you, regardless of medpacks), or less, to get a gold "damage"-medal (I know 20 works for gold, guessing 25 works too).

Flamethrower is stupidly broken. Mortar sucks...Flamethrower for time and killing medals. homing missiles for health medal(because going up close gets you shot) game beaten.

don't know why people are complaining
no bugs as far as I can tell, AI isn't terribly stupid. flamethrower is a BEAST!!

Well, apparently on the upside I've gotten alot more points out of this game than most have, I'll just quit while I'm ahead.

Level 1 is the hardest to kill everything on. You have to kill EVERYTHING on your way back too. All soldiers, all walkers, etc.. Cannons count as kills btw, and where there are dual paths there are usual enemies in both. I have my impossible badge now :). It's definately possible.

Some old school Nintendo cool to this game. Challenging and unforgiving but completely impossible. Great game, takes me back a bit.

i dont like the delay that the enemies have once they are dead, like in a ball of fire, still manage to get at least 2 more shots, this pissed me off and threw me off, so i stopped playing

I agree with burningwings, I killed everything on the first level and still only got 89%... So, I'm wondering, Usually a flaw like this isn't overlooked, so whats the catch? Are there "hidden" soldiers?

Decent game until endless mode. After level 10 its not even any fun any more. What a waste. At least let you choose your weapon before each wave and leave less up to chance. But I would make waves that then allow you to recharge your armor after each round. Otherwise its just DUMB and impossible. And not fun. Let me know if you get hired by a game studio, I will make sure not to purchase that game.

How the hell do you use your rocket launcher or other weapons!? All I get is gun-fire ammo and the mortar... I don't get this.

there should be a laptop option REALLY hard to aim with only laptop 3/5 though just that problem and some minor glitches

I encountered a major glitch. I collected 14 gold medals, only missing the speed run for mission 5. In one attempt, I died at the boss (he outlasted my suicide flamethrower attack). I was sent back to the menu, and when I hit "start mission", the screen starts to go wild. Cycling quickly through all the missions, it kinda looked like a machine test on old pinball machines etc, just lighting everything up.

ergo flamethower rulez;] It's nessesary to use it for speed runs for gold stars - the final boss couldnt hold 15 sec with flamethower

I think impossible badges on kongregate are just getting too simple. It is like all the difficulties in the last month have shifted down one spot.
To get this badge - For Time runs - use the flame thrower, for damage and kills use homing missiles. don't even attempt survival mode till you have the upgrade for the mech suit.

Not too bad, until I got stuck against a wall and the game wouldn't let me move. I had to run into bullets and suicide. 3/5, sorry.

Why would you want an unlockable weapon that sucks harder than your main? B/c that's what the flamethrower does. Stupid design moves cripple what's otherwise decent about this generic shooter. 3/5

got the imposssible.... its easy to get 20 waves. just get heat seekers and dodge bullets. people who got the impossible for frantic should be good at this.

this game sucks. no fun at all. buggy as hell, or maybe they are just revenue enhancing features because you have to keep reloading the page. same with impossible "hard" badges. suckers.
