The game's story is criticized for being extremely limited, featuring only one level that many players feel is not worth the price, suggesting it should be significantly cheaper. 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 99 cents.”
“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.”
