Today, High Voltage sent The Wiire an exclusive sneak peak into their upcoming WiiWare title, Evasive Space, and it looks to be on track to start off the 2009 calendar with a bang.
Mygamer writes: "From the game's screenshots and initial first impression, it is not hard to mistake Evasive Space as another classic shooter. This is definitely not the case as avoiding obstacles and reaching the finish line before time runs out is the basis of gameplay. A game like this can only be created using the Wii's unique controller, but this style of gameplay really could have been done with an analog stick. Unfortunately, the loose play control, cheap level design, unavoidable enemies, and a terrible in-game timer really make the cost of 1000 Wii Points unjustifiable".
Evasive Space came close to being one of the most intriguing games on WiiWare, but frustrating controls really ruin the experience. Simple analog controls would've made this inspired and polished game a must-buy.
TVGB: How does this old school game stand up in the world of the new school Wii? Is it a bit of glorious past brought into the present or is it a bone the dog dug up that was better left buried?
After seeing the game in motion in this video, I have to say it looks pretty good.
Will definitely pick it up upon release and have a go with it.
Neat. I may pick it up.
Anyone play Gyrostarr at all? I'm a fan of that game, but I wish there were more online capabilities for it. Maybe we'll see some good multiplayer and online functionality in this one?
