The Reap
Description official descriptions
The Reap is a classic arcade shooter in Zaxxon style and very similar to Viewpoint. The game has 4 stages. First you shoot enemies in a arctic oriented scenery. Next you fly through the deep oceans, wherein between shipwrecks and fish bones are sharks and submarines waiting for you. After this there comes a canyon-desert stage. Last but not least you fight your enemies in a skyscraper city. Every stage has two or three levels. Altogether there are 10 levels.
Your ship can get 5 weapon systems and all of them can be upgraded three times. The biggest weapon is a rocket blaster. You can also find bombs or invulnerability shields.

Good effects, FREAKIN HARD GAMEPLAY
The Good
The effects and explosions etc were just eye popping. When you phase out of a level the "hyperspeed" effect is just plain orgasmic!
Also, the way everything bar the drawn background is destructable, from the cute little cows, to the 100's of people shooting pointlessly at you.
The multiplayer mode is quite good aswell, I remeber brutal competition with my brother to get the ULTIMATE weapon on the level. I killed him.
The Bad
Its just too freakin hard. You play the first area, and thats challenging enough, but then the submartine section is impossible. Even on multiplayer, you cannot complete that level!
The Bottom Line
Its good if your really into hardcore arcade games, or you wanna have fun with your mates, but for longetivity, and ease, itsd just too much. But for a fiver, its a decent game, at a decent price.
