    • “Laggy... no real story behind why you're a tortoise with weapons strapped to your shell or why you got rats with machine guns as allies. You just get dropped into the option screen and go from there.”
    • “It's got awesome graphics, but as far as I can see, it's just an on-rails shooter. It always seems a bit lazy not to go all out and make it open world, spending time doing that and making a story mode.”
