The game itself is quite simple, but it is very enjoyable and actually much deeper than then straightforward controls would have you think. There is actually a lot of strategic depth to it, particularly when playing online. The map consists of hexagonal tiles. You simply move your ship by moving your cursor to the tile you wish to move to and pressing X. You can also use curses by pressing Y, and that’s really about it when it comes to controls.

At first glance the game is a beautiful masterpiece. All character models are drawn in high-res sprites. Backgrounds are done in 3D, and the blend of both equate to a wonderful convergence of visuals. The game is pretty to say the least. Each character also has a fun and quirky style reminiscent of Guilty Gear’s lineage of outlandish character stock. We have cat girls, huge breasted beauties, mechanical marionettes, and countless odd yet cool fighters. If you can find your own quirk, there is bound to be a respectable character to scratch that itch within the game’s 12 playable fighters. Read the rest of this entry »

You can play as any one of the main five characters from the movie, of course including Arthur and Lancelot. Each one has his own special moves and attacks, before each chapter you will be given the choice of picking one of two characters to play the chapter with.  The game’s environments are so similar to some of the movie’s areas, it’s really neat and capture the look of the film. Characters are so highly detailed and look realistic, backgrounds are nice and colorful. Read the rest of this entry »

First of all, as you can tell from the title, this game contains 3 unique games. They are sloppily thrown together with a glitchy menu screen, so you can tell fairly early on amateurs put this game together. (The menu I believe glitches out after you play dodgeball) This game is a prime example of why all games no matter how fast they are put together need testing. Read the rest of this entry »

The lightly touched on story revolves around a shackled Mars revolting from its rulers, Earth. Earth deploys you to crush this rebellion, outfitting you in one of two ships, Mosquito 1 or Mosquito 2. The former is equipped with a fairly wide spread shot, the latter with straight forward gunfire and superior speed. Read the rest of this entry »

Sure it’s exactly the same as pretty much every other game in the genre, but those games were successful for a reason. There’s a whole bunch of neat tricks to pull off and the tried and tested control system is pretty much flawless. So why is the score so low? Because it’s unoriginal and aimed at children? Nope! Quite simply because it’s so small you really do think you’re playing the demo. Read the rest of this entry »

The controls are simple and use the D-pad to move and the face buttons to shoot, jack cars and leap over obstacles, and like its big brother you can also hail cabs to take you where you need to go. The touch screen is used ingeniously, and the mini games on offer feel true and right in the context of the world. So when you jack a parked car, you have to hotwire it in one of three ways, such as placing a screwdriver in the key slot and turning it or hacking the security system by tapping the correct numbers as they flash past on a display.

There are four categories of mini-games: strength, yoga, aerobics, and balance, and the first two are clearly geared towards those interested in fitness. The strength and yoga exercises are more about increasing your fitness, rather than having fun, so I will discuss those in detail later when I evaluate Wii Fit’s performance as a fitness tool. Doing push-ups and performing stretches on one leg isn’t what most people consider fun Read the rest of this entry »

Like many other street racing games already on the market, Most Wanted will feature open races filled with shortcuts to exploit as players make their way through the game, trying to make their way to the top of the heap in the game’s underground racing world. For those who want to make their car extra pretty, there will be a number of paint options, as well as rims, wings, and so forth that can be slapped on ones ride, and for those that couldn’t care less about looks, and would rather focus on performance Read the rest of this entry »

The classic is back! Again! There’s not a lot going on in the backgrounds and there’s been nothing shown of actual in-game footage or screens of what kind of foes you’ll be facing off against. That’s a bit troubling considering the game is supposed to be groundbreaking. Read the rest of this entry »
