Recently, I have been in love with all the small downloadable games off the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade. I honestly believe these games are better values, and many times better overall games, than the big release games like Gears of War 2 and Grand Theft Auto IV. This is because they are relatively inexpensive, quicker and easier to play, and I don’t have to schedule two or more hours to feel like I’ve actually completed some of the game; I can turn on my TV and play for twenty minutes and feel satisfied.
The game is as solid as a downloadable game gets; it has great 2-D graphics and effects, great surround sound, vast weapon choice, and exceptional online play. The best part, in my opinion, with these types of games, is that there is little to no story other than run around and have fun; I think it’s been made clear by myself that the majority of video game stories don’t interest me (it’s that the story does not make the overall video game more interesting). The graphics are very rich and detailed for a 2-D graphics game, and when you kill your opponents (or you die), their body explodes everywhere, which is always cool and fun.
