Also, the inclusion of nukes for the player to collect throughout each level makes the boss fights incredibly easy. It’s sad that I had to fight through through so many challenging sections only to kill every boss within eight to twelve seconds. And it’s all thanks to the nukes. The nukes should not exist, and there should be a basic checkpoint system, particularly because once those three lives are used up you’ll be asked to play through the entire level again. The only redeeming factor is that completing each level awards the player with points, which can be used to buy weapon upgrades, such as homing missles, flack cannons, and even lightning jolts.
The online modes are mildly amusing, but also get old fairly quickly. The game has pretty cool concept, but also a very simple concept. There’s no strategy involved, and the fluctuating difficulty level can be frustrating. Heavy Weapon is lacking in the graphics and sound departments as well; it looks like your average Flash-based PC title, complete with midi-quality music and repetitive audio work. If you can get it for free, there’s nothing wrong with downloading Heavy Weapon. But I recommend saving your PSN dollars for something more enjoyable.
PlayStation LifeStyle’s Final Score
Multiplayer can be fun, but only in short bursts. Difficulty level unexpectedly skyrockets halfway through. |
