Not Original. But it still good.
It could be better if you make different misions than drive and shoot.
Reviews for "Streets of Valhalla"
Not Bad.
What more can I say.
Not original, but not bad.
Fun way to waste a half-hour, at least. Even if you do practically have to cash-whore on level 2 for like, forever before you can move on to level 3 without dieing.
Needs a lot of work. The first level was easy, the second was way hard, the third was damn-near impossible until I cash-whored on level 2 for about twelve minutes. The next several missions were easy, because I had just about every powerup in the game, and then missions 7-10 became way too hard again, because even WITH every single power-up, I got wasted all the time unless I spammed grenades and power bombs.
Also: What's the point of having monster truck tires crushing civilian cars if they can't crush enemy cars, and what's the point of having them crush civilian cars if the only level where there's civilians on the road is level 1?
Also, this game suffers badly from key layout. There's at least six important keys, not counting the weapon selection. But they're all over the keyboard. This would not be a bad thing, were this a keyboard-only game, but it's not. I don't know about you guys, but I have a really hard time using my mouse, my arrow keys, the spacebar, and the control key at the same time.... Maybe the author has two right arms, I dunno. I sure don't, though.
Also, the need for most weapons to keep pressing the left mouse button was annoying to say the least, and on the buy screen, for grenades and power bombs, it would have been nice to simply be able to enter the number you wish to purchase, since in the later levels you have millions of dollars, and you practically HAVE to spam those items like candy.
Also, the plot twist, while not at all unexpected given the GTA influence, made no sense. Here's the guy who's singlehandedly brought his gang from two guys in a red pickup truck, one of whom is only brandishing a pistol, to five guys cruising down the freeway with a TOW launcher on the back with the police at their mercy, shooting every other gang into submission, killing a Mafia Godfather, and making the police beg for mercy...
And he gets betrayed? That's the kind of leader you'd follow through hell. He's obviously the best man for the job, so why is he being betrayed like that?
Also, at the 9th level, you're escaping from the ambush with your supposedly-loyal other guys in the truck. Yet in mission 10, not only does the traitor have access to a weapon you never did (though it's somewhat mollified by the fact that you now have an apache helicoptor,) but he has your truck...
Why did he get the truck? Why didn't you escape it? Also, why didn't you just fly at about 10,000 feet above his range?
I dunno, maybe I read to much into things. Fun time-waster, anyway.

Ok, looks like you want the story cleared up ^_^ Very well then.
You get betrayed because Kane (The Truck Driver) is jealous of the fact that you pratically own Valhalla, with everything at your disposal. In level 9, you are with your loyal gang - buddies who you purchased (Not very loyal ^_^ But meh, they stick with you).
After beating everyone in level 9, you obviously abandon your truck, and since you don't see your gang buddies again, you can only assume that they split up.
'Why did he get the truck?' - He likes the flame spray paint on it? ^_^
Seriously, the traitor, now takes your truck, because you found a nice police helicopter lying around, isn't that handy? :)
'Why didn't you escape it?'
You've played level 10, you know he does.
'Also, why didn't you just fly at about 10,000 feet above his range?'
Cause Danny is too cool.
^_^
Thanks for the review.
Quite boring...
Looks like others useless shooting games: nothing new, nothing interesting.
I've stopped playing after level 2.
