First Impression Quickie: Guwange

Based on Xbox Live Demo only

An overhead, facedown, pixelated shooter. At first glance, I could've sworn this was a reincarnation of an old NES game. With a little help from Wikipedia, I found out this game actually released in 1999, and today it re-released on Xbox Arcade. Here' your review:

This game sucks major ass! Not only is it in horrible 8 bit style (for no apparent reason), the game story doesn't even take place before you begin playing. You see a rather descent cutscene that makes no sense, then you start playing and you have to somehow avoid this massive barracge of incoming projectiles. Since it's an overheard shooter, you can only dodge left and right.

For me, playing a game that has no opening story, no reason to kill, nothing at all to explain why my character is doing what it's doing, is a big flop.

Verdict: Don't even bother with the demo. If the developer doesn't care enough about their game to at least update some of the graphics, then that deveolper needs to be shut down.
