| 1 | * Okay... the style the game uses is really based in the Hong Kong action films of the 80s and early 90s or so -- the sort of gunplay acrobatics and slow-motion we see were, as far as I know, really pioneered there... but its PaintingTheMedium evokes a much older theater experience... maybe about the 70s or 60s. Am I missing something? Is it just a case of the developers being hit with NewerThanTheyThink? Or am I getting an OlderThanTheyThink issue? Or something else entirely? |
| 2 | ** I think the point was to have an action movie motif. They probably figured that the best way to get that across was to use the older movie theater experience. |
| 3 | ** It's just a bit of FollowTheLeader: This game was probably being developed when everyone was talking about {{VideoGame/Stranglehold}} and Film/{{Grindhouse}}, and this game seems to take a bit from Column A and Column B. |

| 5 | * Tarantula has submachine guns. How come she never shoots them? She only really uses the bayonets. |
| 6 | ** My guess is because she's blind she's afraid she'll hit Pelham or something. |
| 7 | ** But wouldn't she be afraid of cutting Pelham, then? |
| 8 | ** You can't really hit targets far away when you're blind, now can you? And when they're close enough... why waste bullets? |
| 9 | *** If that is the case, then why have guns at all? |
