Overall one of the most snazzy games you'll ever play. Brilliant colors galore.
I'll give you the cold hard facts here. 101 arcade level, mission levels, 11 bosses, alarm playing your favorite BBM song, challenge, and casual mode where you can fling all the fireworks to your hearts desire.
The multiplayer aspect is absolutely a blast. You don't need multicartridges and the fact that your tryting to fling fire balls at your opponet just makes ya feel good. There are 3 different maps and you get 4 special powerups that you can only use once.
Ok if your a huge fan of RPG storyline type games I would turn around right now cuz this wont be worth your time.
If your a scribblenauts(or any puzzle/arcade) fan then yes plz do take your time and read this.
What makes this game the most innovating shoot-em up galaga game is that its all in the stylus. You shoot with the style, you move with the stylus, and you eat with the stylus...(ok maybe not the last part)
I'll start off with the main part of the game...arcade
Arcade is all about the standard game play and features 12 worlds (10 main, and those that beat the arcade know what the other 2 are)
You get fantastic colored worlds from Hong Kong, to a Swamp, and personally my favorite Luxor.
The diffuculty for Hong Kong is really...easy. The key to this game is that it actually lets you get your feet wet before they bombard you with projectiles and enemies. You start off with a balloon here or there, then next level you face the dreaded MONKEYS THROWING BANANAS AT YOU!!!! OMG!
lol its ok they only throw 2 at a time. The game really lets you ease into it. But by the time your in the 2nd world that easing into would seem nonexistent...but its still there.
The only real time when they actually go all out at you is in paris and the abyss. (thats the real challenge because of the drastic change)
There will be sweet powerups like homing missiles and balls of fire!!
The colors of this game are just absolutely stunning! Check the screenshots and thats only a taste of what you'd be getting in the game.
The soundtrack is completely original and it is also for free download because so many people like the game music. It is the kind that when you look back 15 years from now it will make you feel nostalgic like the NES Metroid theme. I go even as far as saying nostalgic as pokemon r/b/y.
Mission mode takes a lot of arcade levels, but adds a twist. 1 twist is you gotta defeat the Kamakura (swamp) boss in a certain amount of time. Another one is in Hong Kong where if you hit a cloud you will lose.
Personally challenge mode is my favorite. Ever played those online games from miniclip and saw the highscores list? Thats what challenge is all about. You rack up as many points and combos as possible and see if your in the elite top 10. (right now my best rank is 3103 lol) Combos work by not missing. Everytime you hit a target its worth a certain amount of points. If you hit it and not miss you'll get that amount x1 x2 x3 all the way up too x8.
There are two ways to rack up points. One is just survive and see how many baddies you can kill before you die. The other strategy is take your time and go for accuracy. (you won't hit as many target but there is the point x)
all 11 bosses (or should I say 12 hint hint for those that beat arcade) offer their own unique special attacks. Like the punk walrus throwing big ice arrows at you or the Pharoah where you can only hit a certain spot.
thank you for reading this review.
