Rating: - Robocalypse RTS Blew me away..The ONLY RTS for DS
First of all, I got a chance to play this at a video game conference in CA. Walking by the Robocalypse booth immediately caught my attention. I think that it was the cartoonish/catchy artwork on display. This RARE RTS for Nintendo DS is a must for all DS owners, again, I must repeat RARE! The art in this game is beautiful and the characters suck the player into this robocalyptic world. Some might think that the art is cheesy, BUT, this was a design from the start and it really works. It makes the action real fun. After speaking to the guys int he booth they told me that the guy responsible for the artwork was some guy names Michael from Spongebob.
Overall, for a hand-held this game does a excellent job carrying out your commands. The graphics are great and the field of vision/playing field is quiet large which is a BIG plus to help you make that quick military action.
***What's really cool about this game is that you can connect to your friends via Wi-Fi and engage in multi-player deathmatches as as well as an array of different domination modes
Finally, the strategy behind the game as well as the overall story line synergize into a great player experience.
This is a great game for the holidays. Curl up on your couch to a nice fireplace, make yourself or your kids some hot coco, and play this at your pace.
