Couldnt find a thread for this so sorry if there is one.
First thing i noticed is that the menus are alot like the ones for Commando 3 and there are again 4 difficulty levels.
There are 3 different planes to choose from and they are your standard types, One that is Powerful, one that is Quick, and one thats balanced. The Default Level is pretty easy, you have an energy bar (again much like commando 3) and 5 lives so you can get hit alot, theres also an abundance of pick ups that give you even more energy still. I got to level 5 on my first try and to be honest i was a bit disapointed, you seem to be fighting the same enemies that have the same attack patterns the entire way through the game besides a few exceptions and the bosses arent particuarly great either IMO.
It also looks pretty cheap and tacky, i was hoping for somthing that looked a bit more spectacular and like the later games in the series, but it looks more like a remake of the original game that could have easily appeared on the PS1 10 years ago.
I also dont like the fact that its a vertical scroller that uses the full length of the widescreen tv, it looks a bit weird if you ask me.
The achievments are pretty standard stuff, there are three for completeing the game with each of the planes, and there is one for doing it on the highest difficulty, the others are mainly for collecting things and scoring certain amounts ect.
Overall I'm a bit disapointed, especialy having read the games TM review over just before I purchased it and they said it was one of the best in the series. I felt like I was playing a completely different game to them.
