I didn't play this long enough for it to really register - but I'm pretty sure this is a "re-skin" of another game (by the same company?). I'm thinking of Chicken Blast. Essentially what would have been called a light-gun shooter game, but it's on the DS - so stylus and not lightgun. It's definitely a B-game, people don't often talk about these like we do about movies and such. Is it because there are b-movies that are "so bad it's good" but we never really get that with games? There's also games that people THINK are "B" ('cause production values) but actually rake in a ton of revenue (Roblox comes to mind, and everyone knows about Minecraft). So where does this game lie? Hmm... definitely a budget title looking for a budget audience? Probably a late generation release?
