Anyone play this game? I played the demo alot when it came out like 3 years ago, then I got the full version, and damn, this game is awesome!

For a downloadable game of 20MB this game has good graphics, sounds, and it just generaly wicked. If I were to review the game, it'd get a 9.5/10, it is awesome.
The story is kind of like Starcraft, they were experimenting with aliens in the year 2026, and they got loose, and it's up to you to contain the infestation...
Here is a screenshot of the mayhem I caused when I broke out my chaingun, you can see all the bullets on the ground, and know that the ground was spotless when I started the game.

It's not really that "In-depth" it's kind of just a mindless shooter, but there is skill involved, you can't just go in guns blazing, you got to have tactics.
All the guns are (In order from cheapest to most expensive):
Double Pistols - Default Weapon ($0) (Ammo $0)
Shotgun - Close range, dealing with strong enemies ($200) (Ammo $20 for 10 shells)
Grenade Launcher - IMO it's not that good, you may as well save your money for the rocket launcher ($350) (Ammo $50 for 20 Grenades)
Chaingun - My favorite gun, it just sweet ($1000) (Ammo $100 for 100 Bullets)
Rocket Launcher - What else can I say? ($2500) (Ammo $150 for 10 rockets)
Freeze Gun - Freezes weak enemies with 1 shot, but stronger enemies take more shots ($4800) (Ammo $190 for 40 freeze things)
Plasma Rifle - It's kind of strong, but your probably better off saving for a better gun ($8000) (Ammo $240 for 10 Plasmas)
Flamethrower - Amazingly strong gun, but it has really crappy range ($15800) (Ammo $300 for 200 fuel)
Magma Minigun - Best gun in the game, but it's REALLY expensive ($25400) (Ammo $550 for 300 things)
All the items are (in order from cheapest to most expensive):
Green Armour - Absorbs 50% damage ($200)
Yellow Armour - Absorbs 70% damage, and it looks better ($600)
Red Armour - absorbs 90% damage and looks awesome ($1500)
Flashlight - Minor Light ($20)
Night Vision Goggles - Lights the entire screen ($150)
Health Pack - When your health reaches zero, it makes it go back up to 50%, only good 1 time, though. ($1800)
Defense Drone - Shoots enemies for you, it doesn't float around for that long, though ($1000)
The Enhancements are (From cheapest to most expensive):
You can only buy 3 of each, but they are permanent.
HP - makes your max HP go up 30 points for each one you buy ($1900 for 1)
Strength - Makes you able to carry more ammo ($1200 for 1)
Speed - Makes you move faster ($1800 for 1)
Accuracy - Makes your weapons stronger, plus it increases your accuracy ($1300 for 1)
The demo only shows you the Double Pistols, The Shotgun, and the Chaingun, and some items, like the flashlight, and it only lets you play level 3 of the first campaign (there are 3 campaigns). Most of this stuff is only in the full version, but if you want it that bad pm and I'll tell you how to get it...
