it has some glitches
i blew up when a shot from commandbot went past, but was clearly missed
it also seems sluggish, player bot is very slow moving
Addictive game overall!
Reviews for "Commando Arena Remix"
Not bad
Fix the senors and it's great. It was registering me as getting hit when the red attack ball was no where near me.
It's a good game, but very frusturating
This game could have been really good, but you ruin it with the control sceme.
The graphics in the game are sweet. They look amazing and the explosions that look like they were taken from real ones also look cool. The game area is a bit small and cramped, but maybe that's what you were going for with the "arena" type of game in mind. The ending scene with the explosion and the calculation of score was slow though. I wish that if you died there was some way to get back in the action quickly, because if any one is going to attempt to beat it, they need to focus a lot, and waiting through a fairly long death scene gets annoying.
The style of the game is pretty cool actually. You combine things that look life like (like the explosions or the ground) with things that look more drawn (like your ship) to create a nice style for the game. The sound effects were good, you had your drums and lively music in the background a long with all the needed sounds for lazer gun fire, taking damage, etc. All the sounds were in place and done well here. The music wasn't anything special, and somewhat forgettable, but it fills the silence gaps.
The gameplay ruins this game however. It's really a shame though, because this is a well made game. The mouse just doesn't cut it for controlling a ship in a game like this. After much effort and anger, I did manage to be able to use the controls well enough to win, but with just one diffilculty level, a player who's trying to get into the game will most likely be turned off by the extremely diffilcult control sceme. I think that using the usuall wasd movement should be good enough to turn this game into something much more playable. I also noticed that the smaller enemies seemed to die without me having to shoot them most of the time, and they really had no effect on the game whatsoever. I would like it that if you decide to change the controls, that adding more levels and diffilculty levels would do the game some good.
Overall, the experience of the game is let down by the nasty controls, but the graphics and mostly all the other aspects that you are looking for are here. If you think you're able to get the hang of the controls, then this game should still provide some good fun.
Pretty ok.
I might have liked it, but the mouse controlling kinda ruined the game. And the bigbots shots did damage to me when not even hitting, and thats bad. But still it was quite ok.
nice!
after the initail 'Holy Crap!!' of being thrown into the game right off the start, I got the hang of it pretty quick. Decent animation, especially the explosions! A nice, refreshing little shoot-em-up that will have you muttering curses and coming back for more.
kudos!
