Zombies? Check. Apocalypse? Uh-huh. Violence? Yip. At the moment this seems to be the winning formula for a successful title. While not every title which holds these qualities is a winner (I’m talking about you, Yet Another Zombie Defense), thus far Left 4 Dead 1 & 2, Plants Vs. Zombies, and Dead Rising have all proven to be hits.
Toy Soldiers brings a lot of unique elements to the XBLA table. It’s a tower-defense game, but instead of passively watching as wave after wave of enemies rush through a predetermined path, you get to take control of any tower you build and actively fight against the bad guys, and each tower controls in unique and interesting ways. As you progress through the levels you get to take control of certain vehicles including planes and tanks, and with upwards of fifty different towers and vehicles to control, there is a surprising amount of time required to really master everything in this downloadable title.
The bones of my knuckles protrude through the dilapidated tatters of my crimson-stained skin. A cool evening breeze carries away the reeking scent of my singed hair and charred clothes. My thoughts are a jumbled mess, floating around inside my concussed cranium. A mile-long trail of unconscious thugs chronicles our path through the city, but at long last, our mission has reached its conclusion. The mayor’s daughter is safe again.
“I won’t let anything bad happen to you again” Mike Haggar promises his young blonde daughter as he clenches her close to his massive, muscled chest. You said it, big buddy; you said it. No way could this ever happen again.
If you’re sitting there staring at those 1200 Microsoft Points and thinking to yourself, “Man, I sure wish there was a downloadable title for the Xbox 360 that offered the ability to control armed squads who move like a twin-stick shooter, but have a larger goal of removing an evil virus from a digital landscape all in the hopes of directing tiny sentient artificial life-forms to safety,” you think in far longer strings of coherent thought than I do.
You would also love Darwinia+, which meets the criteria you’re after in spades.
