This game had potential.The graphics,gore,sound effects and music are great.But the thing that kills the game for me right away is the combat.All I have are random weapons that are floating in the air and firing.You could have at least had a character that was at the far right of the screen holding the weapons and actually firing them.
The variety in upgrades were great.But they were too clustered and unorganized.Instead of having a box thats clustered with randomness, why don't you catagorize the weapons?Pistols,Rifles,Melee Weapons ETC.You could have made the weapon names more descriptive too.
Sniper and laser gun are kind of vague names.Also, I think your action methods could have been better
Pistol - Semi Automatic
Shotgun - Pump Action
Gatling Gun - Fully Automatic
Axe - Self explanatory
Another thing, I think that your so called Automatic Rifles action method is quite contradicting.Its fires three round bursts yet it has the title of ''Automatic Rifle''.
If you had fixed all of these these things then I most likely would have enjoyed the game allot more than I do now.

It seems that you took your time with this one and planned each step carefully.The structure is smooth and each riff fit perfectly.Even then, I still have some gripes with this song.The first riff sounded atonal, as if it wasn't following a particular scale.I could be wrong.
Another thing, I think you should fix the rhythm guitars that were under the solo at 1.27-1.37, during your sweeping.Figure out what scale you are on and try to hit the notes that the rhythm guitars are playing.If you wish to become a lead guy, try to learn the basics of keys,scales and time signatures.
As far as becoming pro is concerned, I went to your myspace to listen to your other songs as well.With the material that you are creating I think that it is a possibility.
Author's Response:
Yeah, I didn't write the song, just the solo.
As far as the sweeping, I'm playing a D minor shape, and the rhythm guitars ride the D for most of that passage, so it fits. I know quite a bit about scales and time signatures, but I don't always go by them; some of the coolest metal guitar solos ever written have off-notes and weird phrasing (Slayer fits that category well, haha).
And the going 'pro' thing... I wasn't talking about being in a professional band, I was talking about being a professional recording tech. I guess it says something about my recording skill, that the quality was transparent enough for you to make that mistake. XD
Thanks for the listen-through, man; I appreciate it.

"Its good, but it needs a little improvement."
Compared to your older cover (Arise) your production has improved.The Guitars are great and 100% mud free.Your drums samples are EQ'ed in nicely as well.Really, the only complaint I have is in regard to the Bass.
I was disappointed that you didn't play the three chord intro with a bass, like in the original.I also felt that the bass was too muddy at 3:14.It sounds like you are using too many chorus effects.
Other than the minute issues with the bass, this cover is great.
+5

Thanks, I plan on rerecording all of the guitars and make them a little bit more solid. I am not happy with anything on this track to be honest lol. I could'nt find a good distortion for the bass intro so once I find a good one I'll redo it. Thanks for the review.

First of all, I would like to say that the guitars are great.They're extremely tight and in time with the drums.You pretty much got the song down note per note.However, I do have some minor issues.Well, I think the overheads could have mixed better.They're just too bright / trebly.
And another thing, the rhythm guitars are a little on the muddy side.From the sounds of it, it sounds like you're using an Alnico pickup.Other than that, your cover is flawless.
Nice job dude.
Author's Response:
Yeah, the guitar tone is a little muddy but I want to redo it and make it a little bit more tighter on that part. Thanks for listening! Oh I am using EMGS its just the fact that guitar is tuned low with some super slinks 10's. Thicker gauge strings would help make it sound less muddy.
