Does it have random match-ups, or is online play limited to friend-codes?

I don't suppose it supports Wii-speak, does it? Hey, a guy can ask :P

Ok, the graphics are fine. Not very good but serviceable. Forget all about that this look worse than Turok 64 and stuff like that, because is not true. But so far the ambient has been repetitive though. (Rocky valley after rocky valley). The scale of the ambient and the battles are big, many different enemies at the screen at the same time. The enemies seems to be different types of bugs, including some gigantic boss ones. The gameplay so far has been kill everything that its on screen and advance (or hold your terrain). It does have random match-ups, but there's no PvP. No wii speak also.

Ok, after some more co-op gameplay I would say that this is a budget FPS. Nothing less and nothing more. There's nothing broken but also there's nothing special (other than being the only 4 players co-op FPS on the Wii ;) ).

I saw a few gameplay videos. It looks like some nice arcade fun :) Unlimited ammo from the looks of it too. How does the matchmaking work?

No unlimited ammo, but plenty of it. However, if you are trigger happy and don't search for more you will find yourself out of ammo for your favorite gun :) (You can chose between 4).

There are 2 modes, Free Battle and Ranking Battle. It seems that in free Battle you are free to chose between the stages and weapons you want to play, and only this mode allows for friends.

After that have to choose between World or Regional Match (or friends in free Battle).

I only have 900 points so I think I will wait for a review before I get any more. Plus I am on my first play through of Halo 2 right now so I have a good FPS all ready. Nice to see that you like it though. Cool to see a good FPS on Wii Ware.

Well worth the 1000 points.

Keep in mind this game is really about scoring points just as much as finishing the level. There are online leaderboards (region, world, and friends) for each level and each difficulty setting.

As far as wifi is concerned there is co-op (go through the story mode) and ranking (score the most points). Haven't tried the co-op but ranking is 2-4 players...

I'll probably pass on this game. I'd buy a PlayStation Store or Xbox Live game before I'd buy anything off WiiWare, and in the end I'll probably just never get around to it.Tikicobra

The leaderboards sound cool. I think I may go down and dowload this. For $10, it seems like a good deal.

I'll wait for this one. I've been wanting to download LIT and Sin and Punishment, and Cavestory when that comes out. Plus, new play control pikmin is coming out soon so I'll have that.

bought this last night at about 10:30. So far I've played through the first 3 levels on Medium Difficulty and just got tooled by the games first big boss.

It's fun, but I hope the intensity picks up a little bit in the next few levels.

I also find that moving around is really slow, which made that boss tougher than he should have been.

At this point I'll say that it's worth the $10, especially if you like FPS or want to try out the genre without investing $50 in a regular game.

Good, but not great, is my early impression.

My first and great WiiWare game, definitely worth it. At least, hang on to it till the Conduit gets released.

PSN sucks. The only good game I've gotten off of that is Ratchet and Clank: Quest for Booty. They hardly ever offer anything on there, the only reason to even check the updates is for Rock Band. XBLA is the best service right now, but it had a huge headstart and Wiiware is catching up quick. On topic though the game looks pretty good, but the lack of competitive battle mode is disapointing (and the fact of the block size). I'll probably stick with Call of Duty 4 until the Conduit comes out.

To be fair, PSN have some nice games too. But its main strength are games competing with retail, or games that should have been retail but instead we got stripped down version (Wipeout, looking at you!) However, the person who basically said XBLA/PSN >>>> Wiiware is very wrong, there are plenty of Wiiware games that doesn't ask anything to the PSN/XBLA offerings.

Well... I assumed this was a thread to discuss the game, so I figure I have as much right to talk about not downloading the game as I do about downloading it.

If I go to PS3 boards and start saying "I'd buy a PC or Xbox360 game before I'd buy anything for the Ps3" on the killzone theard or whatever I would get banned ASAP for trolling.

You guys have just about convinced me to get this. I don't like FPS games, but I've been thinking about giving the genre another shot and this seems like the best choice to do that with. If I still hate the genre, I'm only out $10.

The last FPS game I played (not counting Metroid Prime 3, which doesn't count anyway) was Quake and the only reason I played that was because I'm a NiN fan.

Yeah, I think it's worth the 10 bucks. It's more like a first person shoot'em-up than anything else though. The gunplay is quite satisfying. I think that's what really counts.

I also did not like FPS until the wii, now I love them. This game is well worth the 1000pts but there is nothing special about it. It is a basic (but very fun) FPS. The online alone is worth half of the 1000pts IMO.

You can't base your purchase on one review, that is true. But he is actually spot on in his review. The game is an anomaly and a guilty pleasure.

It's adjustable in the settings. I found the fastest setting to be a little too fast for me (there are four speeds). I finally did grab this and I'm enjoying it for what it is. I've been wanting to try something in the FPS genre and this was the perfect choice. While I don't think I'll pursue the genre any further, I am still happy with this purchase and am enjoying it so far. Once I finish the story mode I'll give the online missions a try. Honestly this seems like a superb game for $10, as far as play time and replay value go. My only gripe is the little announcements for the combos. I'm sick of hearing "That's why you're still a kid!" It doesn't make a lick of sense, heh. Unless he's saying something different and I'm not understanding him.

The game got 9/10 in WiiWare World, so that explains something. I have the game and I love it,
