Anyways looks amazing I wish it was coming out sooner. I need some games to play. Right now I am playing FF3 again and Eve online.

You make your own weapons by combining things around the world.

I dunno, you can actually make weapons in the game from bits and pieces of stuff that you can find, so it would be hard to determine.

It's also coming out on DS.

who is it developed by.kaangonultas

Red Fly Studio.

They're new. The only other game they're working on is the Wii version of Ghostbusters.

7.5 - Marked down for horrible camera control and/or control scheme. You heard it here first.

Wow... looking back I didn't remember just how damn good Mrio Galaxy looked. I love that game.

Mushroom Men actually looks pretty good. I'm interested now.

wow mushroom men looks pretty good. i like the picture with the dinosaur thingies lol the third onesuperjim42

Hmm it looks pretty good actually. Hell I reached the 5 pic and it didn't even seem like a Wii title at the time. At first, I wasn't making much of it , since I was far more interested in other titles in the Wii's library, but as it went along, it started to gain my interest.

*gravity gun telekinesis*

Actually the first time I saw the game, the visuals kind of gave me a Psychonauts kind of feel to it. I wouldn't be surprised if some form of influence is present in the game, even concerning gameplay.

IGN seems to agree with the Control issues:

The opening sequence serves as a tutorial to familiarize you with the controls. The nunchuck's analog stick handles your movement, Z blocks, and C dodges. Over on the remote, A jumps, B activates your psychic spore powers, and the D-pad controls the camera. Combat is all waggle, all the time. This has us a little worried, as it's another example of seemingly unnecessary waggle that could have been handled with a button press.

I could live with that after playing Zelda. Luckly they don't say anything bad about the camera.

this also made me take a second look at the game:

Music plays into Mushroom Men as well, due to a built in metronome timing system. The music system was shown off in another level, when you had to solve a slider board puzzle. As you correctly put pieces into place, new layers of the music were added to the music track. As the battle above you raged on during this puzzle, the explosions and other ambient sounds timed into the music as well, making for a melodic experience. Les Claypool, formerly of Primus fame ("My Name is Mud", "DMV") has created four distinctly different musical tracks, each with a unique feel to the level that you are in.

It's also coming out on DS.

I did not know this but the DS one is a prequel to the Wii game, and shows the evolution of the mushroom men from non-sentient to sentient.

The music thing from the second paragraph sounds cool. And the Primus Bassist is writing the music for it? Cool! He's a brilliant musician. I'll add that to the first post.

Also if the only control issue IGN have is waggle combat then I don't mind, because that's pretty much what I expect from the Wii.

I guess we'll find out in September. (Gamespot has the release date set for Q3 2008.)

Wow! It looks really good :D

Can't wait for this!

The Wii and DS games are totally different.

The Wii one is called "Mushroom Men: The Spore Wars", and the DS version is called "Mushroom Men: Rise of the Fungi".

So the pictures being showed on the original post are from "Mushroom Men: The Spore Wars", a Wii exclusive. Just so everyone knows.

Seriously, Wii is not going to have graphics at nearly the same level as the PS3 or 360. Get over it :|munu9

Super Mario Galaxy looks a hell of a lot better than Gun, so lets start at that point and measure upwards. :roll:

Mushroom Men looks tight.

You mean the PS2 quick ass port over of Gun that they didn't even change the textures for? Yup, I'd agree the Wii looks slightly better than a PS2 :P.

Don't start comparing the best wii games to the worst looking games in the 360 library. If I did that with some wii games I could say PS1 graphics>Wii. Sure mushroom men looks good but there's no point comparing it to R&C on the PS3. Unless you're doing it to purely compare artistic style.

Artistic style is something that Mushroom Men has going for it. I like the whole Toy Story miniaturization theme.

Anyway you don't seem to get the point of this thread. It's not to say Wii > PS3 or anything like that. It's just to say that Mushroom Men is worthy of hype next to Super Mario Galaxy and Ratchet and Clank.

Looks like a Tim Schafer gameVandalvideo

I love his work. The Secret of Monkey Island was one of the earliest game I played and remains my favorite game of all time.

I completed Full Throttle the other day. Absolutely amazing.

I still haven't played Grim Fandango! :cry:

Oh, Its KIDDY!!! Nah I'm joking, It looks quite fun, what weapon does the mushroom man use?

Whatever you want, I've only seen one video but he made like a sledgehammer from a DS stylus for the handle, a thimble for the head and some bubblegum for the sticking. If there are loads of combinations like that this game'll rule, I think it looks fun at the moment, this and Deadly Creatures are both on my "Awesome ideas, look fun but let's hope they make it work"

What platforms is it coming out for?sam280992

I can't wait for Mushroom Men: The Spore Wars. Its one of Wii's more unique and promising titles. Though, the thought of them having waggle in it bothers me, but I still want it.

Why is it worthy of hype? I really didn't get why it was worthy of hype. i have seen gameplay and it looks mediocre at best.

i forgot les claypool is doing the audio

he also did robot chicken and southparks intro, hes pretty good and hangs around the jam band scene

very fitting to this games style as well

now that i actually look at the screens the graphics are pretty decent, i need to see it in motion

why is it worthy of hype? well if it wasn't getting any, wouldn't the argument be that sheep don't hype anything other than nintendo games? its a nice refreshing original ip, if it flops oh well at least it was original without being overly ambitious and overly hyped

I don't think it looks mediocre Krigon. Mushroom Men is a Wii title that is rarely hyped by anyone despite having several unique concepts. I think that makes Mushroom Men underhyped.

It looks good and so does the level design. For the first time since Super Mario Galaxy I want to play a game because of the environmental setting. But also because the gameplay seems well developed.

7.5 - Marked down for horrible camera control and/or control scheme. You heard it here first.Stonin

I have a hunch that Mushroom Men will score higher than R&CFToD.

I think it will score 8.5 - 9.0. I will go with the latter because I have balls of steel.

It looks very nice. Soft and bright. Weapon making sounds cool as well.

When does it release?

I don't know exactly but according to Gamespot, next month. (Q3)
