"Let's Give A Big "NS" or "GG" To Softnyx!"

Welcome to Gunbound!
Ah... Gunbound. The name of it just fills my heart with joy... most of the time. Gunbound is simply a turn-based game where you just blow up stuff and have lots of fun with it! Well… maybe it's more complicated than that. But listen to this: you play with REAL people around the world, and you get to choose from a variety of 18 different mobiles that have their own characteristics and weapons! Along with that, there is a large variety of maps to go along with these mobiles… and the best part is that... it's free! Oh yes, I know, wow right? O_O But yes, along with what you have already read, there is so much more to tell about the world of Gunbound…

Gameplay - 10
Gunbound may seem like a simple game where you just shoot and hit your opponent and kill them, but it is much more than that. There is wind to blow your weapons in a different direction, your opponents can use different strategies to blow away your angle or for them to hide away from your demise, you can use items to annoy the heck out of your opponents, and most of all, your opponents can simply destroy your land and make you merrily fall of the stage. Gunbound takes strategy, teamwork, and friendliness (you have to be friendly to gain trust and teamwork, don't you?), to gain victory in one of Gunbound's vicious battles.

Variety - 10
There is definitely a great deal of things to do in Gunbound. Well, as stated before, there are 18 bots to choose from in the game, and there are a plethora of maps you can play in with these mobiles! Let me tell you more. First of all, there are four different types of battles you can join in on. These battles are Solo (You simply have one mobile to play with and you just kill the other opponent for victory), Score (Your team has lives and if you die and your team has a life left, you can spawn back onto the field), Tag (Solo but with a tag bot that you can use), and Jewel (use a mobile to kill little creatures that are worth different values of points. Whoever gets to 100 points wins). Also, there is a variety of “avatars” AKA clothes that you can buy with the gold that you obtain when victorious in a battle. There are probably over 70 types of clothing, accessories, and backgrounds for both boys and girls, to keep you playing for the avatar of your dreams =].

Graphics - 10
The graphics are very unique, and in my opinion, a masterpiece. The game features high resolution 2D graphics, but with a 3D background. Also, the game features many effects from the shots the mobiles shoot (explosions, smoke, etc). This is one of the best graphics I have ever seen in a game, because the 2D graphics also prevents anything from looking choppy and strange in shape. If you play this game, you will discover that a game doesn't have to have 3D graphics to have a nice design and to be just plain attractive. And most of all, the game does not require a powerful graphics card to function properly. =D

Sound – 8
Wow… there is an eight >_>. Well anyways… the music is really good at first. It fits the whole “cute” scene, but at the same time it keeps you concentrated for action. But, as you get further into playing the game, the music starts to get annoying and boring. Luckily, Softnyx has given you the option to turn the music off and turn on your own music. Go Softnyx! They could add some more music though…

Safety – 6
Oh the hackers! You will continuously go into rooms with aimbotters, with hackers that can have unlimited turns, and even hackers that can swear! But luckily, Softnyx is devoted to getting rid of these hackers. They continuously release patches to protect you from these hacks. So not to worry, Softnyx is here to get rid of these hacks for you and to protect you!

Replay Value – 9
Okay, so maybe playing a game where you just get into a room and start shooting people sounds like something you would quit soon, but it's really not! In each game different, strategies are being used, different techniques are used to shoot on target, different ways to use different mobiles, and much, much more! You will continuously keep playing to reach the next rank, to obtain your dream avatar, to defeat your friends, and most of all, master all of the mobiles Gunbound has to offer. Some people may find it boring after a while, but the majority of Gunbound players have stuck onto Gunbound for at least 2 months.

Conclusion
Thank you Gunbound for creating this addicting game! Millions of players are enjoying this game right this second, and I just want to say, NS SOFTNYX. I highly recommend this game to anyone, and I urge you to go right now to Softnyx.net and DOWNLOAD THE GAME! And remember, it's fun, it's pretty, it will probably work on your computer, and most of all, it's FREE!
