Steel Storm provides entertaining experience in short bursts over a long period of time for gamers who like old school genres. The game comes with collaborative mission Editor, which allows you to modify existing missions or create your own.If you are into run and gun kind of games, co-op, old-school carnage - you will certainly enjoy Steel Storm.NOTE: All these users who down-rated the game (red circles) here on MetaCritic are 1. Violating the terms of service because they don't write reviews (writing outside of the scope of the product), 2. Coming here with personal vendetta for the purpose of down-voting the game because they were (or their friends, or both) banned on the forums of the game.Download the demo and judge the game for yourself. This is the only way you can figure out if the game worth your time.

The combat in this game is the same throughout every level you play. There is no intro to tell you what controls do what, what the pickups doThe combat in this game is the same throughout every level you play. There is no intro to tell you what controls do what, what the pickups do for you and so forth. It gets boring after about 20 minutes of play. If you paly it in mediation, however, you may be able to extend you play time. I personally finished all the levels in about 6 hours on singleplayer. Not really worth a pickup unless you are a fan of these type of games.

It's both a top down and a 3rd person vehicle shooter (your choice). The 3rd person view rocks with the Borderlands cartoon style graphics. The game reminds me a lot of the old arcade shooter Tempest. Plus it's got some Madballs maze blasting. Online co-op up to 16...sick! Controller enabled! If you bought the humble pack and you've put this one off, don't wait any longer. it's time to play!

Simple, explosion-packed action is what SS:BR looks like, and that's exactly what it'll deliver. Nothing more, nothing less.

With the weapon upgrades and other neat utilities, this reminds me of a top down version of Gradius (which isn't a bad thing).
