What players say
For the sale price of only 50 cents I have to give this a thumbs up because it's definitely worth that, but not full price. The final achievement says "Beat the final mission with them M60 gun" but it actually means the M2 gun. Also after you beat the game it says "More stages coming soon!" but they have already released a sequel a few years ago... so I think that's a lie...
