The direction you're facing matters a lot in combat, but with the tools you're given in the interface, you often end up shooting past your enemy only to have to turn around so that you're facing the right direction for a smash or heat blast, only to have the enemy move and repeat the process again--so many of the game's battles are difficult only because of the interface's limitations. On top of that, your threat indicators (blue, red, or yellow directional arrows) change arbitrarily between waves (sometimes a fire is a red arrow, sometimes it's yellow), so you have no idea whether an arrow is pointing to a humble surveillance camera or a game-ending runaway missile. This is all compounded by the fact that you face the same recycled enemies again and again throughout the game--drones, robot spiders, helicopters, orange-suited thugs, etc. None of them are a threat to you (you're Hp Pavilion Dv6-6135dx Manual!), but you have to deal with them quickly in order to keep Metropolis from burning up (which you can track with a life bar above the city). This can make for some tedious gameplay (at one point, you have the uniquely unheroic task of flying all over Metropolis to smash 37 floating cameras--cameras? 37?--in a row), which is made worse by a claustrophobic and increasingly unconvincing Metropolis. For example, when you smash a getaway car, it stays there on the street, but if you help land a crashing plane, the plane then disappears before your eyes.
A good video game might have been made out of the elements here, but this isn't it. On the other hand, if you're a big Hp Pavilion Dv6-6135dx Manual fan, the freedom of flying and the stirring music and graphics might be enough to keep you entertained.
