Crossfire is a target shooting game. Your aim is to "clean up Chicago" by shooting the gangsters and protecting the innocents. The game enables you to controls your crosshair to shoot the gangsters while at the same time avoiding to shoot the innocent civilians and must continue to shoot the gangsters until time runs out and then you progress to the next level. You are given bonus points for each gangster hit at the end of the level and also lose points for each civilians hit. If you wait too long to shoot a gangster, he will shoot you and you will lose a life, lose all your lives and its game over.

I personally found the game simple to pick up and quite enjoyable. The crosshair is very responsible and it can be quite fun to play. Its very easy at first but the difficulty soon picks up with the amount of time between shooting the gangster and the gangster shooting you gets less and less with each level.

All in all the lasting appeal isn't probably there but the game is fun, simple to pick up and with a retail price of £1.99, you were laughing with this game and couldn't complain. Well worth playing!

Another target shooting game, this time with nice colourful backgrounds to sooth the eye. All in all the game is quite pleasing, keys are really responsive and collision detection is very good.

The game starts off easy, but around level 7 it gets really really tough. The characters you shoot at do make the game a little boring after a few plays. Besides the mafia lieutenant looking guy and the terrorist, I didn't get any other baddies. And the same applies to the 2 civilians.

Pretty looking but hard to control !!

It's a nice enough game that is easy to get into but I had issues with the crosshair which made it tough to progress as far as I'd like too.
