The game's story is criticized for being extremely limited, featuring only one level, which many players feel is not worth the price. Additionally, technical issues such as bugs and slow weapon changes detract from the overall experience.
“This game has only one level to its so-called storyline for $4.20. Not worth it, maybe $0.99.”
“Polishing the bugs, of course. Restarting story mode causes the game to stop and forces you to quit, plus it takes too long to change weapons.”
