"I couldn't think of a wittier way to say "this game kicks ass," so the title says it all. Bullet Trap is a dual-stick arcade shooter with spot-on retro stylings…"

 

"..Had it been released in the early 90's as a "real" arcade game, I would've pumped a lot more than ten quarters into Bullet Trap--at only 200 points, this game is definitely worth the points!"

 

Score 9.5/10

MTV Multyplayer Blog Showcase

 

""Bullet Trap" proves that a simple switch in underlying principles can breath a lot of life into a genre."

 

"There's quite a few levels in the game, and each tweaks the rules and enemy behavior in unpredictable ways, so you won't get bored even after you've gotten the hang of the mechanics; I wish more full-length titles had this many variations on their basic gameplay."

 

Score N/A
