## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Needs more work

*2025-03-24*

The game it self needs a lot of work with controls, settings etc.

### 1/5 — Could be better

*2022-10-10*

Terrible controls, the trucks move faster than the bullets/missiles. A cool blast from the past though.

### 1/5 — Not good

*2020-06-13*

You move way to fast. Controls are so confusing. Cant shoot in the direction you want to shoot. This game os not fun anymore.

### 1/5 — Disappointing

*2019-09-06*

This app is disappointing attempt to re-create my favourite retro game. It was nothing like the original. The controls are hard to negotiate and coordinate, making the game much harder and less interesting than what it was.

### 1/5 — Terrible

*2018-06-06, version 1.4*

Doesn’t work. Can’t shoot and drive.  Start shooting and you stop. Drive and you can’t shoot

### 1/5 — Hey apple inc. I want a refund

*2016-12-07*

Game doesn't work. Won't load after title screen. Probably have to register the game with credit card info on a foreign server, even after paying for the program to download from the App Store. Seems legit  right? Even deleted and tried to reinstall it and nothing changed.

### 1/5 — Do NOT buy!!

*2016-12-01*

Why does the App Store allow this crap.

### 1/5 — Not working

*2016-11-18, version 1.0*

This was my favorite game when I was a kid. I was excited when I found this game in App Store. However, i got disappointed big time as the application did not even open.
 I am in process of getting my money back.

### 1/5 — Don't buy

*2016-10-05*

Don't buy this app. Waste of money. App opens to the title screen, but then you can't play it.

### 2/5 — Needs some major bug fix

*2024-08-06, version 1.4*

Well, I payed and played this game on Iphone 13. I can give point for Nostalgia and upgraded frame rate to 60, and can ignore the lack utility of the machine gun like in nes game… but the game crashed after I finished the first stage boss is unforgiving! I intended to complete, yet the game not let me!

*2017-04-24*

Great miss this child hood game but please make it able to play two player!

### 5/5 — Fun vintage game

*2016-07-04*

Played this a ton when it came out. Been wanting to play it again for years. Glad it finally came back!

### 4/5 — Awesome memories

*2021-01-22*

Missiles are a little slow and I wish I could restart the game without having to turn off the app... other then that I would give 5 star. One of the most underrated games ever made by NINTENDO... thank you again

### 2/5 — Lỗi

*2021-06-20, version 1.4*

Di chuyển quá nhanh. Lỗi khi chuyển màn và khi chết
Move so fast. Eror when end level and next level

### 2/5 — Shooting

*2021-01-13*

How do you shoot on this game????

### 2/5 — Not great

*2019-10-11*

The missile moves slower than you keep. No way to shoot only the gun. Controls too touchy. Not great.
