Spyborgs: Revisited! - Wii, WiiWare & Virtual Console Forum

The school I work in is closed today so I decided to take a break from my immense backlog of Wii games to play some Spyborgs (I had the crazy urge to beat up on some robots lol). After playing a few levels on Adrenaline difficult (my first playthrough was on core), I was reminded of how much fun I had with this game and that despite its flaws it's no way as bad as people made it out to be on release. Now that its firmly taken up residence as a budget title (£10-£20) I'd definitely recommend it, here's why: Challenging and lengthy (for a side-scrolling beat-em-up) Excellent Wii graphics (some of the best I've seen on Wii) Good mindless,old-school beat-em-up fun! Even though the art-direction could have been better it still has that Capcom design charm Here are my tips on how to get the best out of Spyborgs: don't expect to much (This is not Devil May Cry or God of War) it's more like Streets of Rage or Final Fight when enemies flash red block save the life giving power ups until you need them (don't just go breaking all the crates when u enter a new area) don't be afraid to back off and pick tough enemies off 1by1 knock enemies of platforms for easy kills upgrade as quickly as u can (this improves your combat options greatly) learn your combos (there aren't many and from my experience different enemies are more susceptible to different combos) if you hate motion controls turn them off Hopefully these tips will help u enjoy Spyborgs as much as me. Sadly this game was hyped up to levels it couldn't live up to, was marketed wrongly and had a few minor faults because of this it was bashed to bits by the gaming community. This does not mean it was a bad game though and will hopefully be a cult classic for those who miss the simplicity of old-school games. Let me no if these tips are helpful and if ur one of the few fans of this game! Much love, Dru192

I too question what is wrong with cartoons.

No one was questioning cartoons. My comment, that the game looked "too cartoony" (to paraphrase) was that it looked like a Saturday morning cartoon tie-in. When games have a tie-in, into a series/show/what have you, that I am not familiar with, chances are ... I'm not going to buy into it. Spyborgs had that sort of look to it, and as such, I passed it by.
