About the Game
The game is divided into 8 levels, which also differ in their, for a handheld, enormous size and structure. If one still stands in the beginning in a cellar vault one must later also over roofs, through the city and even the sewer beat. The environments are quite varied and nice to watch on the N-Gage display, as it is one of the few 3D games for the N-Gage that has very few jerks to contend with.

There are 9 different weapons available in the game, including 2x pistols, alien weapons, MG, sniper rifle, rocket launcher, .... Unfortunately, there are almost as many enemy models as weapons, which at some points in time becomes too monotonous.

There is also the possibility to enter his score in the game in the N-Gage Arena. A direct Multipayer over GPRS is unfortunately not present. But the game offers an offline multiplayer mode for up to four players. However, only 4 levels are selectable, and the different game modes are not necessarily innovative. Nevertheless, they offer a lot of fun for multiplayer fans.

Story

Reception
The game received "mixed" reviews according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.
