Remember CLAYFIGHTER? Yeah, didn't think so. Game graphics rendered in clay is nothing new, but PLATYPUS does it right. It's a basic side scrolling 2D shooter, and for the most part it's a good one. I do have my gripes though. For one, the difficulty is insane. After dying A LOT, I decided to switch to the Easy setting, only to find that I WAS playing on the Easy setting! So many enemies and projectiles fill the screen at any one time, you'll wish you had bombs to clear the screen like so many other shooters. No, all you got is your gun, which can be powered up for 20 seconds at a time by collecting colored stars, and it becomes a task to avoid the colored stars you don't want. Like the green "shockwave" weapon which works great on waves of enemies but doesn't do jack s**t against the larger ships. When you destroy certain ships, fruit flies out for bonuses. Only problem, hostile fire can easily be mistaken for the grapes and cherries. So I fly in to collect points only to be shot down. (Oh yeah; one shot, one kill. Yet plenty of enemies can take loads of punishment. And no "shield" power ups. Gotta love that.) I dunno. I can rant about the things that drive me crazy, yet like TRUXTON (Genesis), I keep coming back for more. Guess it's not all that bad.Read full review
Fans von klassischen Computerspielen werrden dieses 2D-Ballerspiel, auf dem der Bildschirm nach rechts scrollt und man viele Gegner, die auch von hinten kommen, erwischen muss. Dabei hat das Spiel eine schöne moderne Grafik , allerdings ohne viel Pipapo. Man kann die Waffe durch den Abschuss von ganzen Gruppen verbessern, dabei stehen 4 verschiedene Bewaffnungen zur Verfügung. Es gibt im Single-Mode einen Story-Modus oder man kann auf Zeit spielen. Auch gegen andere PSP-Besitzer kann man Gamen. Für Fans klassischer Ballerspiele ist dieses Spiel ein kleines Schmankerl. Ich habe das Spiel in den USA gekauft, zumindest in der Schweiz scheint es nie erschienen zu sein. Es funktionieren bei der PSP übrigens alle Games, egal ob aus EU, USA oder Japan. Bloss bei den UMD-Filmen muss man wohl den Ländercode beachten, denn die Filme sind in den USA in NSTC und nicht in PAL. Da der Dollar im Moment sehr niedrig ist kann man in den USA sehr günstig einkaufen. Die Spiele sind generell billiger und es hat Titel, die hier in der Schweiz oder der EU überhaupt nicht erschienen sind. Aber unbedingt auf die Versandkosten achten! Wenn der US-Verkäufer pypal akzeptiert ist die Bezahlung kein Problem. SHORT ENGLISH SUMMARY: A classic 2-D-Shooter with sweet graphics . The first levels are easy, but then the game gets more and more difficult. The enemies come from all sides. Fans of classic videogames will love this game! Because the game is already some time for sale you will get it for a few bucks!Read full review
The game is a classic space combat side scroll shooter. The main attraction for this game is that it has "claymation" graphics. That is, things are supposed to look like if they were modeled in clay... But that's exactly where everything failed! hahahaha... The shooter action is NOT bad, is entertaining. It's a good game for kids and for old school people like me. BUT, the graphics look so normal...they don't look clay at all :P The game screenshots look a lot better...but the real thing is not THAT good. Still, if you find it cheap, it's another game for the collection :)
Game works great, fine. I decided to buy because of the price, because the price of used games are cheaper than new games.
My five year old wanted to play this game as soon as we received it. Since getting it from the mail at approximately 3pm. He has already played it for at least 1-1/2 hours. Great game!
