Want a lightgun style game for Wii?! DO YA?!?!?!! Well get this.
Let's dive straight in;
THE GOOD = )
-Great fun, really satisfying to shoot people. I dunno what it is with games like this, house of the dead, Killswitch, Time Crisis, but any kind of arcade shooter has amazing hit animations. They make shooters replayable to me. If it's satisfying to shoot the bad guys I can do it for hours without getting bored. So yeah if you share my crazy animation fetish you'll love shooting people in this.
-Destructible environments. HoTD doesn't have these, it's a small touch but it's fun, especially when using a bigger clip weapon like the machine gun, just shooting crates and bottles, gives you something to do while you wait to slaughter the next group of enemies.
-Good difficulty curve. You can play this with no experience and complete it. Chances are you'll fail every mission but you'll complete it. That I find fun. The removal of the whole credit system makes the game a lot more enjoyable. Just died? Then continue, it does no harm. It's a great way to have the game. I also means you'll have to play it about 5 times to master it, to complete every mission (yes complete, that's without the other things in the game)
-Branching paths. Another thing that breaths life into the game. Each missions has branching paths, you get to choose as well, do you disarm a bomb yourself, and let your team save the hostages or vice-versa. There are loads of these per mission and they bump up the replay value a lot, I've completed the game 5 times so far and still not done half of the paths.
-Level up system. ANOTHER addition to the replay value, the higher your level the more gun/outfits you unlock, want to dress like a panda? Go for it. Want to obliterate everything on screen including the hostages? Pick the shotgun.
THE BAD = (
-Short. You can complete the game in 30 minutes, but like I've said you'll want to replay it a lot.
-Dodgy graphics and voice acting. Nowhere near as bad as HoTD2, but it's still got bad voice acting, the graphics are pretty early PS2 like but they don't bother me at all.
Overall it's a really really fun game, something you can pick up when a friend comes round (it has multiplayer too which is a plus, I haven't played this but it's meant to be really good), and have an hour or so of fun. Then play it again a few weeks later. It's one of those arcade games that you never really get bored of it.
