I do not own this game, nor have I beaten it.

This graphics are pretty low-quality for a 1988 arcade release.
The game is obscenely difficult, too hard for the average gamer to enjoy.
There is only one upgradable gun. Kind of dull compare to other shooters which usually have around three.
There is little variety in the game, you'll see most of what the game has to offer by the end of the first stage.
The idea of having walls and towers block bullets is a good idea, but it gets over-used in the later areas and becomes annoying.
When you die, you are sent back to a previous check point, which is annoying.

The game forces you to play the entire game twice to beat it. This is a shameless way to make a game longer than it is. There's nothing wrong with letting a player play a harder second run, but they actually made this part of the game's story!
