Goofy Concept for the Controls, Decent Enough Game
This review is for the Arcade version
Look: 5/10 I know the elevators and early arcade platform look resembles this a lot, but it's just meh.
Play: 6/10 Probly much more fun with actual joysticks, but just a mediocre concept. And a silly idea to have the joysticks for each arm anyway.
Feel: 5/10 I didn't really have a drive to continue it, or to get better used to the goofy controls. Compared to its contemporaries in arcade gaming, this pales.
Attachment: 6/10 Doubt I will be replaying it! Tho I may give it another chance someday when I'm not so into the arcade shooter types.
