Highly entertaining, good use of the Wii controller, but rinse and repeat.

By veganintendo | Review Date:
From the moment that this game started I had an instant appreciation for it. It feel like the good old times of beat-em-up and just plain, senseless brawling fun. But then after a while you feel like you're stuck in corridors filled with pretty much the same enemies and the campaign lasted me for 8 hours, and the game can be very challenging since depending on the difficulty level, two hits from some enemies and you're dead.

I like the way the Wii mote is used, feel very natural and the wiggling is kept to a minimum, but of course sometimes the movement is not registered very well, but that's another story. I like the act that you can use the wand to point at certain hidden object and make them visible, so there's another level of exploration, so point the controller to every corner of the screen to see if you find the crates and the hidden collectible tapes.

The Wii is an unappreciated system for me, and games like this makes me want to try to play it more often other than watching Netflix with it. It's a solid recommendation on my part.

    Spyborgs is just what it is--a simple brawler.

    It's hard to talk about this game...because there really isn't all that much to it. You can choose from one of three characters (a ninja girl, a gun-armed man, and a hulking robot) and you have to go through the stages, ... Read Full Review
