| + | * thestage: it's like a game from a pc genre that doesn't exist that somehow ended up on a console. it's kind of like //[[game:commandos]]// if //commandos// were more action based, featured proto-//[[game:team_fortess_2|TF2]]// aesthetics, and was confined to one screen per level. and multiplayer. you get a squad of five soldiers distributed between a handful of classes (gunner, grenade dude, rocket launcher dude, flamethrower dude, dynamite dude), you select dudes, move the cursor around, tell them where to go, whether or not they should shoot, etc. if you run into another soldier you get into some white-hot //[[game:NHL 94]]// style brawls. you can call medics. it's great. oh yeah you can even forgot the five dude team for a team of two guys that you control directly, switching between them with like the B button or something. I've never really seen anything like it. maybe you could call it a real time version of //[[game:frozen_synapse_series#frozen synapse]]// with smaller levels | ||

Also, like most Compile STG's, once you get past the first level, you can generally cruise and enjoy the eye candy. One of the only games i've completed on a single credit. | + | * Felonious Monk: The apotheosis of [[company:Compile]]'s 16 bit [[genre:shooters|shooters]].
