One part adventure game, one part puzzle game, one part...liquid-spewing fantasy 3D platformer for kids? Those are the ingredients that make up Tecmo's upcoming Wii game, SPRay. GameSpot first saw the game back at E3 in July, and Tecmo reps recently stopped by GameSpot HQ to give them a lengthier demo of the game, which looks to challenge your brainpower as much as your reflexes.
Kat Bailey writes: SPRay is every kid's worst nightmare. I played a hundred games just like it growing up, most of them licensed movie titles. It's the kind of game that your parents bought you in lieu of Super Mario Galaxy, because it was on sale for $9.99 at Walmart. And hey, they look about the same, right?
SPRay is one of those rare games that defies explanation, and raises questions. Who bought this game? Why was it even made? Did Tecmo REALLY make this?
SPRay is one of those rare games where it's not very good, but could benefit from a sequel. A game with the same mechanics but vastly improved controls, combat, and level design could be really enjoyable. SPRay, while attempting to do this, falls flat on its face in the process.
