CheatCC says: "As the only WiiWare first-person shooter, Onslaught succeeds on many levels. It proves that it's possible to make a decent FPS title at an affordable price with limited space resources. Sure, first-person shooters have been done before on the Wii and done better, but for $10 Onslaught is hard to resist. Boil all of its elements down, and you'll find some delicious fun shoving your gun barrel in the maws of wave after wave of giant cyborg bugs."
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."
