Game review

Heavy Weapon unleashes adrenaline-soaked, side-scrolling, shoot-em-up arcade action! With a blast of retro videogame chic, Heavy Weapon brings classic shooter action to the casual gamer with an intuitive mouse-driven interface, explosive graphics, and easy-to-learn mechanics.

In Heavy Weapon you are in control of a very sophisticated tank. This killing machine has a large array of weapons at its disposal that become available to you as you progress through the game. The basic weapon is a turret gun, which is improved upon in both its power and its spread as you move forward through the game. At the end of each level, if you are able to get through the towering end boss, you are treated to a trip to the armory where you are able to pick out additional power-ups for the vehicle. These include defensive orbs, a laser, two kinds of missiles, flak guns and lightening.

If you are missing the simple, mass-firepower, kill everything arcade gaming of the 1980s you need to jump on Heavy Weapon right now.
