Onslaught the Wii's First Online Co-op FPS.

[Syn of Sin]

When will this beautiful piece come to us? gonk heart  

[Owwin]

No ruined cityscape, no "gritty" textures, no sniper rifle fire fights. Just good old fashioned cave corridors, green lighting, and shooting wave upon wave of inferior foes. It is like we are going back to the N64 days.

It's funny how people are complaining that this looks like an N64 game.

The same people who turn around and say Goldeneye is the greatest FPS ever made.

Yeah screw them. N64 was awesome and they need to take a hint.

Also Perfect Dark kicks Goldeneye in the mouth.

I would have s**t if I saw these graphics on an N64.

It isn't as much graphics as it is visual style. Even the HUD is reminiscent of an older game. It fells very retro. I love it.

I'm not saying the graphics are anything Earth-shattering, but they're worthy of more than being called N64 graphics. I agree though, that it does feel like an older game. It doesn't take itself seriously, and I'm sure at one point the designers said "Wow this is a ******** cheesy-a** premise."

I find that offensive to the 64. It's graphics were okay. Also the premise is cheesy, but that is part of the retro feel. So long as it is fun you can make a game with a flimsy pretext story. I mean it is just WiiWare.

Did you consider that before or after the one liners?

Really though, this could pass for an early PS2 or Dreamcast game.

The graphics were okay, but this is definitely better. I'm not dissing the N64 either. And it being Wiiware gives it a great excuse to not have a good storyline. People can forgive game for their shortcomings on WiiWare which is pretty cool in my eyes. I don't mind if a game looks like it's a few years older, as long as its cheap, easy to get and fun.

9/10. I was going to get it despite reviews but this is good reassurance.

The game really excels online and co-op is pretty much flawless. There is not lag to be found and the matchmaking is fast and without issues. Hudson has even provided online leader boards on their website which should keep score freaks happy.

HELL YEAH!

Definitely looks like it'll be one of the best Wiiware titles so far. It's not even released here, and it's already got my money. I wanna whip some cyborg aliens so bad.  

[Waynebrizzle]

It didn't come out today. ;_;

Expect me to put up my own review tomorrow.
