Game interesting : Space invaders in 3D, new position of the player…

But after playing a few minutes, I get bored… Finally, it’s just interesting but not good playing.

But thanks for the offer !

I’d really like to see an RGP (a real one, not one that says they’ve got a RGP version of match-3) From this company, I really like the look of Build a lot and the Agatha Christi based games.

Here’s something to keep in mind: not everyone that visits this site speaks English as a first language, or possibly even as a second language. Among those of us for whom English is the native language, we don’t all have perfect grammar or spelling. As long as you can get your point across without someone having to read what you’ve written several times before they can understand it or have to consult a thesarus or dictionary, what’s the problem?

While I do cringe sometimes when I see misspellings of certain words or when I see someone use something like there instead of their or your instead of you’re, I’ve learned to live with it. When typing, I try my best to use proper spelling, grammar and punctuation, as well as beginning sentences with capitalization. This includes the times when I am on IRC or chatting via various IM clients. However, I don’t have a 100 percent success rate; it happens and I don’t think there’s anyone who can really say that it’s never happened to them. We all make mistakes. Does that mean that I suck at the language or that I’m a moron? What about people that don’t type very often or who’ve learned to type in the AOL/l337 era of communication online and use the shortcuts, abbreviations and acronyms, r they teh suck 2?

Moving on.

As for the game, it’s not bad. The graphics are okay, but nothing groundbreaking. I thought the controls were a bit awkward when combined with the first person view as you try to match the enemies’ movements and exploit their patterns, whereas most other games that are a clone or rip-off of the tried and true Space Invaders formula are considerably easier to get into. You line up, shoot, dodge enemy fire and live to fight the next wave of attackers. Here, it takes a little more thought, a little more patience and a bit more practice to get used the perspective.

I do play a lot of first person shooters, but this wasn’t a game I could just jump into and excel at. Last Galaxy Hero is little more than Space Invaders on a horizonatal plane coming in at you isntead of down from above. Too bad it’s not as good or as fun as the source material once was (or still is). There are better SI clones out there. That’s not to say this game is a bad one, but I can’t really recommend it over any other at this point. The gameplay felt awkward and sluggish, which isn’t a good thing when you’ve got enemies shooting at you and you’re unable move freely. I don’t expect to be able to whip around at ridiculous speeds or with pinpoint precision either. I would rather have something somewhere in between. Tweak the movement and aiming a bit (I don’t think it needs a lot) and you’ve got something that doesn’t feel like a chore.

That’s just my 2 cents’ worth on the game. I didn’t play for a long time, so I have yet to see what else the game has to offer apart from a few different enemy ships and bonuses. I might keep it around for a while and give it another shot when I don’t have other things to get done instead of playing games. Perhaps tomorrow, when I’m more awake and not rushing to get something done. BillW50 (comment #12) said it works with a joystick, so that may be worth looking into. If not a joystick, maybe a gamepad would improve the controls.

And if there are any misspelling or grammatical errors, don’t hold it against me.

“Hey Lockett, thanks for the apology. I’ve only just seen it.”

Thank you for seeing it.
