Onslaught: The first First Person Shooter ever for the WiiWare platform. With tight controls, a horde of enemies to blast away, and some of the most intense action you'll ever find, Onslaught sets a new standard for FPS on Wii.
-- In the distant future, contact with a distant research colony is lost and your team is sent in to find out what happened. Upon arrival, you're attacked by overwhelming numbers of mysterious creatures. It's up to you and your squad to eliminate the threat and discover the truth that lies deep inside the colony.
CoffeewithGames.Blogspot.com says in one section, "Onslaught had 99,778 Total Hours reported this week, an increase of 1,305 hours from last week.
Water Warfare had 60,943 total hours reported this week, an increase of 1,340 hours."
Hmm, I would have thought Water Warfare would have more players because it's generally considered better.
The only bad thing is that it usually takes a while to get into a match.:(
If you manage to get one going though it's immense fun. I should really exchange friend codes with some peeps.:P
A guy from another site said the same thing about it taking a while getting into matches now.
Maybe we should get Water Warfare and exchange codes with some others.
It looks like a decent game for the price.
MyWii writes: "The first FPS on WiiWare is an interesting tittle to review, as many other games on the service come from genres we rarely see in full retail releases. At first glance Onslaught appears to be a lacklustre affair in contrast to what we expect from the genre, yet one must remember it only costs $15 and was never meant to be compared to a full retail release."
TVGB writes: "The Wii has had a tortured history when it comes to FPS games. Initially billed as the console to revolutionize the control mechanisms within the genre, proof only arrived a year after the console's release in the form of Metroid Prime 3: Corruption. Onslaught from Hudson Soft however is something of an oddity in that it's an FPS game with a fairly lengthy single player mode and a sparse but entertaining online mode that's actually available for only 1000 points on WiiWare."
This game is proof that the Wii is for everyone including the hardcore.Looks amazing!
Hmmm I wish we could get better screen though.
hopefully this title will let you custom your contols cause I want to change them to the Call of Duty setup..........and bring boody roar back "hudson"
Wiiware with online co-op!Jeez they gettin' ambitious on the little white box this year. I heard a bit about this aaages ago and thought it must have died a death but we'll need to see more about it, sme gameplay and what the onlne system is gonna be(I know it'll include FC's but why nintendo why? You can pretend to be whatever you want and paedophiles aren't flummoxed by a half arsed security system that just serves to slow every game that uses them bar MKWii down)as well as the memorystats before we caneven begin thinking this might be that great a thing.
Wow that it pretty snazzy for WiiWare :)
