Ocean Commander upcoming Shmup for Wii.

Post by Pixel_Outlaw »

Looks like trash and apparently there is a downloadable PC version.

"Ocean Commander is a stylized side scrolling shooter, aimed at casual and hardcore gamers alike. Players take on the role of the Ocean Commander ship, with the aim to complete the 21 stages and 30 levels throughout the game. Featuring a plethora of missions, enemies and weapons to blast, it'll certainly keep that trigger finger ready. Players control the weapons via the touch screen on the Nintendo DS and Wii mote and Nunchuck, allowing for true 360 degree aiming and precision."

Just imagine folks! We thought Blastworks was great with 15 stages just think how great it will be to play a game with twice that many! This is just nonsense.

No, this game is not Space Invaders.

Who wants to bet it's a euroshmup? Any shmup aimed at 'casuals and hardcore alike' sort of misses the point, doesn't it? shmups are about as hardcore as gaming gets, imo.

Reeks of failure. It's going to play like any number of clumsy, poorly designed PC shareware shmups. With copy-paste levels .. yay! :/

The control does sound a bit interesting though. Kind of like Geometry Wars: Galaxies.
Of course, that's just an opinion.

This already came out for the PC. Some other thread around here details just how bad it gets.

I would like a Rob style review where it gets ripped to ribbons. Ofcourse you have to download the demo for your PC.

That would make my Christmas.

Previous thread on this game here, including mention of the Wii release, so I'll lock this one.
