What players say

I forgot the details about this game, because I played it about 2 years ago, but it's not too bad to play.

1 more review, not recommended
The cube style and dubstep soundtrack give it some personality, but that's about where the fun ends. Clunky levels, repetitive combat and way too much frustration for such a short FPS.
