Get excited for Spyborgs!

I just did a blog post about my impression of the game from my time at Captivate, as well as what I've seen from E3. Just for fun, here's what I'm excited about:


 


I was lucky enough to get my hands Spyborgs, and to grill the game’s producer, Daryl, at Captivate ’09 in Monte Carlo this year, and the game really made an impression on me. Even better, the game has continued to evolve and improve. The build at E3 looks like an absolute blast. 




So why should YOU be as excited about Spyborgs as I am? 


1. It’s an honest-to-god Capcom beat-em-up.


Remember the days when you and a buddy could pick up controllers and beat up all of the chumps between point A and point B? Those days are back. In classic beat-em-up fashion, the user can play as a ninja chick, a big robot dude, and a suave cool-guy. Spyborgs is a proud return to Capcom's good old days, and really has a lot to offer to old-school Capcom fans.


2. Wii controls that aren't stupid.


  Spyborgs doesn't smack the user in the face with tacked-on or repetitive motions. Motion controlled attacks are saved for the big over the top special moves and boss crushing unique attacks sprinkled throughout the game. Daryl is proud of the visceral nature of these moves, and for good reason. The big specials and team-up attacks in the game are diverse and awesome, and the motion controls used for them really convey the excitement of that final stab or smash.


The spy vision is a cool use of the Wii pointer and keeps the user on the lookout for hidden goodies.


3. Spyborgs is a gorgeous Wii game.


The big team-up attacks and specials deserve special mention. The characters in the game really come to life via their unique attacks. Think of the look of moves as Devil May Cry's "Stylish Action" filtered through Ratchet and Clank. The game has a ridiculous number of unique special attacks, and the ones that I was shown were pretty cool. And there really are a lot of them. Seriously, a lot.


The graphics in the game are really solid and stand a step above the majority of Wii titles. 


4. It has a sweet train level.


Nearly every beat-em-up worth its salt has a sweet train level.




Spyborgs is no exception to this rule.


5. Giant Bosses Rock Faces



Giant bosses are another staple of fine gaming, and Spyborgs delivers in spades.


There's nothing quite as scary as when you blow up the boss on your last bit of health, only to have it return BIGGER AND SHOOTING MISSILES OUT OF WHAT USED TO BE ITS FACE.


Spyborgs features some really cool enemies, and the bosses are a real treat. I can't wait to see more of 'em.


6. It's really fun!


This game didn't win me over until I actually got my hands on it, so make sure you give it a shot when it comes out later this year, I think you'll be surprised at just how much fun you'll be having.


 The game even sports a set of pseudo-achievements to keep you coming back for more. Achievements ended up being one of things I enjoy most about my 360, and it's really great to see the Wii getting in on some of that action. Metroid Prime 3 had a similar system, but I get the impression that it's a little more robust in Spyborgs.

I agree, it looks awesome, and it does have great graphics. Eh heh, nothing else to say but that it's cool.

If a lot of people do nothing, does that mean there's a lot of nothing?
