Alien Crush Returns Wii Ware Review

[donotresussitate]

In arcade mode do you compete with your friends in the living room same as you would against players online as in verses mode?

[israel819]

how do you have so many chanles

my wii can only hold like 8

[TargetRender]

I love the H.R. Giger inspired design of the Alien Crush games, but they need dual or even triple flipper levels. Just having a single set if flippers is kind of weak.

[imperialpod]

Right, BIG fan of Devils Crush,like most people, and just tried this game.

Cons....

1st up, do NOT expect Devils Crush,its not even close.Its probably best to avoid 'Arcade' mode as it is VERY spartan/empty......BORING. Music is basic/poor techno rubbish,not a patch on DC. No one online at all.

Pros

The story mode makes up for the empty Arcade zzzzz and you get to play in 6 environments inc the 2 boss battles. It feels good and looks good. Its only £5.

It should have been better 7/10.

[JosibiusZ]

@imperialpod in other words: Devil´s crush > Alien crush return?

[imperialpod]

@JosibiusZ

Well, 'IF' they release Devils Crush 'Returns' I expect it to be better than Alien Crush Returns.

Alien Crush Returns is decent (In story mode) but a proper re-make of Devils Crush/Crash should be a lot better.

[hmng2piano]

ok thanks then,

[DEIVION212]

Thanks :)

You can add me, but I've not played on my Wii fo almost 4 months now because of poor VC releases, and it's not been plugged in for the last 3 months. So just be warned that you won't be getting a lot of talk time at all.

[mason000]

The Crush games were some of the most underrated games out there on an equally underrated system. It'll be interesting to see if they do a Wii version of Devil's Crush.

[imperialpod]

@mason000

Devils Crush on the Sage Megadrive was the dogs balls and should DEFINITELY be updated for Wiiware.

One of the best pinball games ever, though it would have to have the original soundtracks,no doubt.

[mynamewastakin]

Hmmm... A story mode in pinball eh?

[Maiku2010]

Demon your accent is so cool. Lol.

[DEIVION212]

Thanks :)

[elbuccanero]

Thanks Mr Demon - I dig your reviews!

[DEIVION212]

Thanks :)

[OmagaMinion]

if you like pinball games play Devil's Crush

[DEIVION212]

Have done, and even reviewed it :)

And I love it, but it's not my favourite Pinball game. Pinball Dreams is (Also reviewed) and oddly enough speaking of Pinball games. I've just reviewed Zen Pinball on the PS3. It should hopefully be up later on with Pilotwings :)

[OmagaMinion]

you did awsome i like when the skull laughs at you when you lose

[DEIVION212]

Yeah good fun, the music and sound on the game though is just amazing :D

[Pokobot14]

Hey deivion why dont you apply to b a partner with youtube!

[DEIVION212]

It's a long story, but the short version is, I have multiple health problems that mean that I can't work. The gov actually say I'd be a danger to myself and others with my sight problems (I'm always walking into things and people) so they pay me to not work.

And getting money from youtube would mess that up.

Because while being a partner isn't actually work or a job or anything, it's still getting money. And it's not enough money to live off of.

[DEIVION212]

So unless I find a way to get a full wage for doing this, then I'm screwed for working :(

Hell it's why I do this, because there's nothing more boring than sitting on your arse all day.

[Pokobot14]

Oh i see sorry about yur sight problems doesnt effect your game skillz lol

[DEIVION212]

I wish that were true, I used to be a grade a sniper on FPS', now I suck. But other than sniping everything else seems to be ok :)

Thanks :)

[Pokobot14]

LOL your welcome you sound more scottish than english though

[DEIVION212]

I think it just depends where you're from. Because Brits know I'm from the north east of england right away, but NA-ers think scotish it seems, lol.

It's probably the same with us trying to guess NA regional accents.

Although to be fair due to watching a LOT of Hockey, I'm quite good with accents from parts of America and Canada :)

[Pokobot14]

Lol im a canadian lolz

[DEIVION212]

So are you a Hockey fan?

I ask because I've noticed that this is the least true stereotype, that "all Cannucks love hockey". Because I know more Canadians who hate it than love it.

[Pokobot14]

No i dont like hockey hahh

[DEIVION212]

Damn it, just who the hell makes these stereotypes then? Because I fucking hate tea and crumpets, you don't like hockey.

[Pokobot14]

HAHAHAH i dont know lolz idiots who see a group of british people drinking tea and eating crumpets

And people who see a bunch of canadians liking hockey

[DEIVION212]

Lol, obviously :)

[Kingdra]

Great pace to your review.

[DEIVION212]

Thanks :)

[dartdude40]

I love your reviews, I've subbed. :P

[DEIVION212]

Cheers :)

[dartdude40]

Would you mind doing a review on Hercales chariot racing,(new game on shop channel) or don't you do reviews on request?

[DEIVION212]

It's not that I don't do requests it's just that I don't buy anything that I don't like the looks of myself as I don't get funding.

And that Heracles looks like a very cheap Mario Kart knock off.

Shame because WW really needs a good strong ORIGINAL racer.

[dartdude40]

I so agree.

How about helix or don't you like the look of that either? (I'll also stop bothering you after this comment lol.) ^^

[DEIVION212]

Helix, the rythmn game? Not a fan of them end off hating them so I try not to buy them. Bought Bit Trip and hated it.

Heard bad things though, like how you don't have to mimick the actions, just moving an arm will do.

[KnuxSonic8]

This game looks great. Better than I thought. But I still say the whole alien motif is a turn-off. Would love to see another pinball game on WiiWare with online play.

[wizzgamer]

really chuffed that you have started uploading again because your the best reviewer on youtube

[DEIVION212]

Cheers :)

[Shadowpower7]

Ah, it's back!

Nice to see that you're re-uploading old videos.

[TrashTalkingGamer]

are you gonna do VC Reviews anymore.. i dont care if you wont to.. but are you? No Presure ;)

[DEIVION212]

See channel comments.

[yoshinetzero]

what channel is the channel with the big BOO picture on your wii menu?

[DEIVION212]

Shop, was advertising that weeks releases.

[yoshinetzero]

do you know what game they were advertising? im a Boo fan XD

[DEIVION212]

SMRPG or just halloween or something like that.

[YoungHenry101]

coolest british accent and second favorite reviewer of all time.

[DEIVION212]

Thanks :)

[YoungHenry101]

so how have u been?

should i get this game?

[DEIVION212]

Shite. Stressed to hell, flu, sinus problems, rushed off my feet and just overall shite.

I'll be glad when this is all done.

But as well as uploading all of the old vids, I'll have to do the new comments on them, so the work is going to keep totting up :(

No idea, if you like Pinball games, it's the best on the WW, but the VC has better offerings with Devil's Crush.

[YoungHenry101]

well, i hope you get better.

so i heard that your making WW and VC reviews in 2 or 3 months?

[DEIVION212]

Yup, just doing all this first :)

[YoungHenry101]

which ones r u gonna do?

[DEIVION212]

At the moment, I only have Forgotten worlds, Goo, the art games and... Nope, that's it. So those to do.

[YoungHenry101]

the art games look fun, which one's your favorite out of the three?

[DEIVION212]

Rotohex.

Orbient stinks!

[YoungHenry101]

yeah i know, its ironic becuz i was gonna get orbient instead of rotohex but then i saw the video gameplays and i decided to get rotohex instead of orbient!

is cubello any good?

[DEIVION212]

Cubello's not bad, but it's bleh in one big way.

I beat lvl 1, but my score was crap. So I went back to better my score, I was about to do it on my 15th cube fired or something like that, I only had 1 colour left to delete. The game gave me 20 blocks of different colours before giving me the one I needed.

So in the end, my score of cubes fired was even worse that before.

Which is quite shit, as it was through no fault of my own.

[YoungHenry101]

is rotohex a fun 2-player game?

[DEIVION212]

No idea, Panda's never played it with me. I'll try it out and get back to ya :)

[YoungHenry101]

is panda that guy who was playing with you during your wii sports review?

[DEIVION212]

Yup.

Older brother and video editor.

[YoungHenry101]

nice, so what other great ww games do u have?

[DEIVION212]

Plattchen, Niki, Goo's not bad (Overated though), Bomberman, Strong Bad's, FFCCMLAAK, Maboshi, Space Invaders, Mega Man 9, DYC.

[YoungHenry101]

what about Dr. Mario?

i know, goo seemed overrated to me after seeing video reviews about goo

[DEIVION212]

Personally I can't stand Dr. Mario.

Bores the hell out of me.

Same with Lost Winds too.

2,000 points down the drain when I got those.

[YoungHenry101]

oh, lost winds looks bad but i'm actually gonna give dr. mario a try, it looks fun to me and i love puzzle games!

what are the best puzzle games on the wiiware or vc?

[DEIVION212]

Plattchen. 1,500/1,000 points for 300 levels.

Goo 1,500 for 48 levels, I think it is.

Tetris 1,200 for tons of modes including online (Got the vid for that one and Plattchen up now. Oh and Dr. Mario).

Rotohex and then Cubello obviously, although Cubello as I say can be a bit naff.

Pokemon Puzzle Leage 1,000 points for tons of stuff.

Lolo is a good logic puzzler.

Picross is great.

[DEIVION212]

Puyo Puyo 2 too.

[YoungHenry101]

im thinking of getting LOLO 1 and 2 for the vc.

whats puyo puyo 2 about?

[DEIVION212]

It's Puyo Puyo.

It's about as famous as Tetris so I really don't know what I can say here.

You match coloured blobs up but you're vs-ing a CPU and when you delete a load of blobs, they get a load of blobs whacked on to kill them off.

It's rather fun :)

[KnuxSonic8]

LostWinds is great, but short. It's also quite overrated.

[KnuxSonic8]

That really sucks...

[koopa90]

Your a very good reviewer. no bulls**t just straight forward reviews.

Dont have a Wii, or any next gen consol, being a retro person myself, but looks fun.

[DEIVION212]

Thanks :)
