Also, missions are too hard, the floor idea is really bad, filled with glitches. Sometimes I fall out of the map and die, or sometimes the music and audio disappear.”
“First part of Vector was the best, and the second part is really the worst. I am going to uninstall it right now. Waste of money, waste of time. Personal suggestion: don't download this game. In the game, there are no sound effects, no music.”
