Heatseeker Is way underappreciated...
Heatseeker is an overall good game, I haven't played through the whole thing yet, but it is already at the top of my list.
People say the graphics aren't as good as today's technology can make them. but I say they are outstanding. If you look at the original Mario Bros. from Nintendo, you can tell how far graphics have come in these few short years.
The controls are easy, took me ten minutes to get them down, although I learn fast. This game may take up to 30-60 minutes to get the controls just right. There is one requirement though, Hand-Eye Coordination is a defining factor in this game, if you have good Hand-Eye Coordination, you'll succeed, If you don't have it, you'll probably just get blown to bits the first couple of times.
Heatseeker runs smoothly, (what else would you expect from a console game?) and is fast paced, high action fun.
The impact cam with the missiles adds a nice kick to watching your opponents disintegrate. Unfortunately, there is no multiplayer, (who wouldn't want to blow their friends out of the air?) so that is one of the negatives about the game.
There are 4 different mission sets, 1 is set at "Lord Robbert's Island" where you defend the base from rebel raids. I forget the name of the place of the 2nd set, but it's about taking down a psychotic dictator, who, by the way, in one mission, fires freaking nuclear warheads at your fleet! I don't know much about the 3rd and 4th mission sets, I know that the 3rd set is in Antarctica, I just started this one. I think it's about you trying to stop a faction from holding an illegal blockade in Antarctic waters. I have no idea what the 4th set entails.
One thing I congratulate the company on is the fact that they HAVEN'T implemented cheats for this game. Cheats would just ruin this game. No challenge would come of it. Challenge is what makes this game fun...or frustrating, I know I've almost put a hole through the Television because of this game.
Buy/Rent this game if you want some Fast-Paced, High-Action fun, or if you just want to scrap some NPC losers.
I personally enjoy this game, and love blasting my enemies to scrap.
