Fun, Fun, Fun, Hard Hard Hard. Ever play the pc flash game “TOWER DEFENCE”? Well this is it, repackaged and better looking. This is a simple game, but required a lot of thinking and strategic placements of your armaments. There is a path, that leads to your hut, you have little creatures you must protect in your village. Waves of monsters come in through the paths. You must build canons, arrow stations, fire stations etc to shoot all incoming enemies who will eat your tribe if you should fail. This game is like crack. It starts off really easy, but by the end, you will be pulling your hair out. It pays off to win the special missions to get new abilities, they are crucial when you start playing the harder levels. It is also important to collect all the money and gems the monsters drop so you can upgrade your weapons.

This game has two player co-op but unfortunately it is not online co-op. But this is a lot of fun with two people playing. My only complaint is that you cannot save your game mid level, this would help so much, it gets old to kick ass on a map and then at the end, one monster gets through and makes you start all over.. Yo get 20 maps with this game. Very cool. The game also supports remote play with psp over the network via wifi, meaning, you can be far away from the ps3, if the ps3 is on a network you can play it via wifi on the psp. IT WORKS GREAT!

5.0 Presentation
There isn’t much presentation. very simple game.

7.0 Visuals
It looks better than tower defence on the pc, but really, the graphics could of been better or at least in 3d.

7.0 Audio
This sounds like an nintendo game. Average sound.

8.0 Game Mechanics
This is where the game gets fun, running around collecting gold and building and upgrading things.

9.0 Replay
This is just a fun game to waste time with. Even if you beat a level, it’s still fun to play again.

7.9 Total Score.
(out of 10 / not an average)

This game is available as a download on the playstation network, you have to be connected to the internet and have a playstation network account to buy this game. I recommend this to people who like simple god games that are strategic.

Music Listened to while writing this review: Death In June - Abandoned Tracks.

    I don’t know how familiar you are with Warcraft III mods, but they have some great tower defense games there, both co-op and solo.
