I, like the reviewer Benjamin J. Gillespie "Benjammin" before me, bought this game based on game title alone. Whoever passed the ranks to let the title fly is my new best friend. I was also expecting some cheesy game play, and this isn't my usual type of game to pick out; but I am enjoying it thoroughly. It's a nice change of scenery after the nice and quiet Animal Crossing or standby Super Mario Bros. However, I wouldn't recommend this for any kid younger than say 10; the graphics get a little creepy even for me. If you are an old-school style gamer and like the "traditional" games and perhaps a little Rocky Horror Picture Show; then you must buy this game. When do you get to blast zombies in half and have granny's barf all over you?
PLUS Little Red Riding Hood isn't so "little" anymore IYKWIM...
A new cult classic for sure.
Rating: - Unique, hard and hilarious
This is the first and only video game that I ever bought simply because of the title, who could resist a game called "Little Red Riding Hood's Zombie BBQ"? I was honestly expecting a silly and probably terrible video game, but I was sorely mistaken. Basically, zombies have taken over Fairy Tale Land and it's up to Red to find the source of the outbreak and vanquish the baddies. Graphically it's a nice blend of 3D levels and 2D characters, bright and vibrant colors of course...it is set in fairy tale land afterall. This game is like the old-school arcade line-shooters, you can only move right or left and the screen scrolls down as you move forward. The gameplay is excellent, you can either tap the screen with the stylus or use the d-pad to move (you can use the xaby buttons if you're a lefty like me) and you simply touch the screen to shoot, sounds like an easy game right??? WRONG! The gameplay mechanics are great but trust me, this game is seriously difficult toward the end, thankfully it has a nice learning curve. You will have a great feeling of accomplishment once you beat this though, always nice to earn a victory! Of course to get the complete story you have to beat this on Hard mode...yikes, but you will be rewarded with a Boss-Rush mode and survival mode as well, all of which beef up the replay value. This game is definitely gonna be a cult classic, I would strongly recommend this to old-school gamers and shmup fans accross the board. Definitely right up there with Contra 4, Metal Slug 7 and Nanostray 2 as far as DS shooters go.
