iimmy Guq'sjust saturated with really<br />
lupid but fiujjhy little.1 touches. For instance the<br />
ilii\e-by sups-market geikins- mean gangsta-<br />
style gerkins who fly past you in a trolley with<br />
guns blazing, or the paratrooper carrots who<br />
shoot away while drifting down from the<br />
supermarket rafters. And this is just in one level<br />
Another priceless addition is the fact that when<br />
you do shoot the lock off one of your buddies<br />
,es they jump out, throw you a power up<br />
\<br />
This is the best level. It's like a cross between<br />
Muppet's Treasure <strong>Is</strong>land and The A Team.<br />
idshoLii ■ Ihank You' in a voice that<br />
Tike an inebriated smurf on helit<br />
owever, despite being a genuinely<br />
enjoyable, fun game, Tommy Gun<br />
does have a few detracting<br />
^^ bu<br />
points, although they are<br />
admittedly minor<br />
criticisms. It might be<br />
fact that I haven't<br />
played it long enough<br />
but it is pretty difficult -<br />
even on the easy levels there<br />
are so many baddies that<br />
surviving to even half way is<br />
mean ieAl.<br />
Having said Shis the game is veil<br />
addictive. You find yourself thinking,!<br />
one more ganrond I'M crack it - this bal<br />
between bein^nnoyinglv frustrating and<br />
challenging^ the secret^pnaking an addictive<br />
game. _<br />
it doesn't match up to<br />
