When the news around a single title piles up, especially around review time, we like to punch it out in one post. Today, that pile surrounds Gyrostarr, High Voltage's incredible bargain, with 50 levels, 50 bonus levels, and 4 player (offline) coop at only 700 points. Reviews are chosen based on content and insight, and are not always from the biggest sources. Zentendo: 9/10 + Click for Zentendo Quotes - hide block If there was ever a time to go out and buy a Wii Points card, this is it. High Voltage has provided a truly great third party effort to sit alongside titles like My Life as a King, LostWinds and Toki Tori. Gyrostarr provides a fresh, challenging experience that you could be playing for some time. This is the kind of game that makes Wiiware a worthwhile feature, and shows that good hardcore games can be made for the system in any size. Gyrostarr could be described as F-Zero meets the Star Soldier series, with a bunch of new tricks here and there. WiiWare World: 7/10 + Click for WiiWare World Quotes - hide block The lack of a boss fight and the unimaginative bonus levels do tend to make the game feel a bit repetitive after you've played the game for a long period of time. …. If you're a shooter fan and you don't demand a lot of variety in your gaming experience, Gyrostarr is a game which you are likely to enjoy. However if you are one of those gamers who felt disappointed with the lack of substance in Star Soldier R, you will probably feel the same about Gyrostarr on the whole despite all the good things it has going for it. The gameplay in Gyrostarr is pretty standard as far as shooters go. You can move left and right around the track and use your cannon fire to take out enemy ships that stand in your way. To make things a bit easier, your ship comes equipped with a grappling hook that you can shoot out by pressing up or down on the D-pad or "L" stick. This allows you to grab power-ups and energy pods without having to take your thumb off of the fire button. The game allows for the use of several different controller options including the Wii Remote held sideways, the Nunchuk, or the Classic Controller. The game even offers up something called "Paired Control" where one person can use the Wii Remote and another player can use the attached Nunchuk or Classic Controller. Longhorns747 (IGN Reader Review): 8.5/10 + Click for Quotes - hide block It’s a hardcore arcade shooter at its core, but with excellent graphics, and a supreme multiplayer mode that puts it over the “Above Average” level and into the “Good Game” level. And of course, the fact that you are only paying $7 makes this ALMOST a must-buy. …this game plays a lot like Tempest with the speed of F-Zero. You hurtle down tracks at very high speed shooting enemies with your blasters, collecting power-ups, and getting enough energy to make it through to the next level. You can get energy by collecting it on the tracks, but you can also use your grappling hook to get energy and power-ups on the track in front of you. Video and screenshots after the break. The first two minutes, thanks to MTV. Thanks to WiiWare World for the screens.
