Assuming that you´ll be dead soon and he´ll get the permission to bomb that area, he tells you that it will take 20 days to get you back...Can you prove he´s wrong?"<br /><br />Plenty of action for your Pocket PC, including:<br /><br />• 5 weapons<br />• Different endings<br />• 2 game modes<br />• Great animation and graphics<br />• Particle system for the blood<br />• Real-time rotated sprites, for a more smooth and fluid animation<br />• 6 hi-score tables, one for each game mode and difficulty<br /><br />Now, I have to ask: How can ANY game that advertises a "particle system for the blood" sprays be anything but fun? If you like arcade shoot-em-ups and are not squeamish about realistic effects, give this game a try. You can download a free demo using the Handago! link above or buy the full version at the introductory price of $9.90. [Just a word of caution, though...The download file is 6+MB and the installed files total 1.1MB.]

I downloaded the trial and was impressed with the game itself.

I was not that impressed with my Pocket PC. I do not usually play games, but thought that I would resolve to start this year. The center button on my 568 is very unresponsive and make clicking sounds in every direction. Is this just the 568, or are all of Pocket PC's like this.

I bought my son a $70 GameBoy Advance recently and the joystick/button is much better then my $500+ dollar button.

If I am to stick to this resolution to play more games would another machine suit me better? Please advise, I want to buy this game, but think I may need to buy a new Pocket PC first.

I can not break this new years resolution...

This game is awesomely fun :D , although I have a hard time controlling the guy. I would have preferred a standard control scheme...
