2D Run and Gun Super Short, beatifull hand-drawn animation, nice story. Hard difficulty can be a bit challenging, cuz it removes the checkpoints, for me 10 Hours was enough to platinum the game includig all the costumes with no rush at all.
After years of playing on xbox without having a pc or ps... I finally got to play this ps3 gem again. Ready to jump in to the second one.
One of the best game.
the best game ever
A fun beat 'em up that is well worth getting while its on sale! Its short but fun, loads of different weapons to use such as the Katana, shotgun and mini-guns! Although its quite short i'd say the plot and the gameplay more than make up for its short length! Definitely purchase if on sale and you love beat 'em ups!
Haven't gotten chance to play it in middle school
