Before this game came along, the closest I ever came to "tower defense" was C&C Red Alert, building Tesla coils and Flame towers. That was back in the mid 90's and was my favourite part of the game.
Now a game completely designed around building towers of death and killing anything dumb enough trying to steal your "cores"... Supa!
The game starts you out with just the one tower design and slowly introduces more as you progress, each tower can be upgraded twice and only certain towers can kill certain enemies. Your goal is to stop the aliens from stealing power cores from your base. Thats it.
So you build towers, kill enemies, recieve money from killing said enemies, then build again or upgrade.
Such simple gameplay, yet so addictive and so fun. The difficulty really ramps up towards the end and it will take a while to finish the final levels on the hard setting. Replay value is awesome too.
Enemy and tower types are nice and varied. I would have liked to see a mega weapon of some sort though. Also a map editor would be awesome, and really the only reason I didn't give it a 10.
A great addition to your xbox360 arcade and you will certainly kill plenty of daylight while killing the alien horde. The ultimate tower defense game.
