Not as fun as I remembered when I was little. Being Bruce WIllis in such scenarios, though, it's still epic.

"WAM, BAM, THANK YOU MAM!!!"

You run around as a low poly Bruce Willis and shoot guns nonstop. It's not very good, but who was expecting it to be that?

~ Uma mistura de plataforma com TPS, protagonizada por ninguém menos que Bruce Willis e com uma trilha sonora composta pelo System of a Down. Jogo curto, difícil em alguns momentos, com uma história pastelona e jogabilidade divertida - excelente para passar o tempo. Recomendo.

This game has all this mad stuff like System Of A Down and obviously Bruce Willis but they just ignore it to make a cool arcade shooter where the final boss is the president. Bruce Willis is mostly memorable for the worst one liners you've heard and going really quiet during the incomprehensible cutscenes, while any licenced music weirdly has a spot in the level? Like as if it's coming from a specific radio placed in the level, the System Of A Down song comes blasting in as you're mowing down enemies and everything's blowing up but the song fades away after a few seconds and you're back to the game's music?

but yeah cool shit. gothy, bad cgi cutscenes that make no sense and a genuinely well constructed twin-stick shooter campaign that leans towards its hollywood actor with set pieces and a funky camera. has aged well in the way that stuff like the Resident Evil films have aged well where it's kind of dumb but very direct in it's aesthetic and intention.

I left the game on as I wrote this and the demo came on but it's just a view of a castle and someone screaming? not really a scary scream though just like "ah!"
