Tripod Attack (Flash game)

You thought you wouldn't be seeing this again (the first review about chicken little)
My fifth review will be on an adobe Flash game called Tripod Attack. The objective is very simple, destroy everything military related trying to take down your Tripod from the movie War of the Worlds (my favourite movie if you didn't know). You have three bar too indicate different things which are your shield capacity, your health/armor bar for your basic health and if that deplete's your dead unlike your shield bar and the last one is for your lasers and how long you can fire it. You can upgrade those and the radius and the damage of the lasers, the shield and armor integrity. Now for what I like about this flash game. One like I mentioned before it is based of my favourite movie. Second there is about 15 levels and at the tenth  level  and fifteenth  there's a boss (I might have forgotten about one but no big deal). The first one is an attack helicopter which fires missiles that you can shoot down (or you can take them like a man and make your sheild bar to go down). The final boss is a tank that fires lasers at you and you can do a beam struggle. I like the fighting them because they are cool looking. Thridly, you can vaporize the bullets, rockets and tank shells that are being fired at you (at first I didn't know that you can do that so I died alot). Fourth off, you can hear the Tripod horn every minute thirty or so and here's a clip of it (don't have the volume high with head phones unless you want to become deaf or crazy) www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzY099ihULs. Sometimes when you kill a marine there body is kinda of in your way so it looks like you killed them by stepping on. Another thing that I like about this flash game is that you can make the Tripod nod its head and I find it funny because its a 35 stroy high death machine nodding its head. Now for what I hate about this game. First off, the rocket marines come in a squadron so if you don't vaporize the rockets you will be bombarded by rockets. Second off, the EMP (Electromagnetic pulse) vehicles are annoying because you have marines, hummers, tanks, helicopters and jets are attacking you while the EMP is already taking down your shield, within seconds your shield is down and your health bar is almost depleted because your shield is gone and the military is trying to destroy you. There is an upside to the EMP vehicle is when you destroy it, its so satisfying that its gone. If I would rate this game on a scale from one to ten it would be a 7.8. Since its a Flash game there is no trailer but you can type in Tripod Attack on google and play it yourself (if you want).
