A game reminiscent of retro tactical shooters, Dog Duty be right up there with them. But what's holding it back? The Finger Guns review.
TSA writes: I’ve been playing video games for the majority of my life. The first place I was lucky enough to play games on was the iconic Amiga 500, and the first game was my Dad’s copy of interactive murder mystery Cruise for a Corpse – that was way back in 1991. Since then, I’ve pretty much played video games every week; it’s a hobby, vocation and profession that has seen me through all the highs and lows that life has thrown at me. Why am I sharing this? Well, because I want to put it in clear context when I declare that Dog Duty is so very bad that it almost killed my passion for video games stone dead. It is, without doubt, one of the worst games I’ve ever played.

By the end, you might have the thousand-yard stare of a war veteran. It’s certainly good value, and there’s challenge and length to the game, but your mileage may differ about whether the mission is worth taking. Dare we say it, Dog Duty on Xbox One might be a better proposition on PC."
