Armorines: Project S.W.A.R.M.

Review by spinark

"Total and Untter Humilation"

Wow Bugs are invading earth!Which time is it already?1,234,569?!?!Please this game could well be one of the worst games for the Nintendo 64.So I bought it.Why?Because the title and the package looks very interesting.The screen shots gave me a feeling like it was a gift from god to Console Gaming.It was more like a gift from the devil to rip the money out of your walet.But enough about the bad,let's get to the good.If there is any.

GRAPHICS

Now I must say this.The graphics are quiet spectacular but yet they can get a little blury.The Characters look quiet nicely and it makes for a hell of a game if you have the nerve to waste time with this excuse for a Alien Shooter Game.

CONTROL

Horrible.That's the best way to describe the controls of this game.If it wasn't enough the Weapon Changing System is revolutionary but only in one way.That it is impossible to figure out on the beginning and by the time you do the bugs already bit your head off and are having lunch from your carcas.The movement of the character isn't all that special either.It takes time to catch on and the 4 different variations of Controls don't help at all.It is best left uncontrolled then to dwell on this part.

GAMEPLAY

If the controls weren't bad enough then you get the constant rush of bugs trying to eat you and grabbing onto you sucking on your health.The shooting controls make the game even harder to play when there is a rush of 5 Bugs at the same time.But I must say the Co-operative Mission makes for a hell of a fun thing to do.Me and my brother spend hours playing together.Of course that was because the controls were so bad that we couldn't make our way through the first stage.But that's besides the point.

REPLAY VALUE

None what so ever.Unless you want to spend some time sharp shooting bugs then don't come back to doing the mission over and over.The Multi-player option is rather interesting but it is not the best either.It compares pretty badly to all the other Multi-player modes in other shooting games.

So what did we learn today?Bugs only bite if you cannot get the hang of the controls.Just play the game once but I suggest renting it rather then wasting money on it.It doesn't cost much but it still can be a hefty expense if you only will use the game once or twice.
