--------------------
Title: Who's That Flying?!
Developed: Mediatonic
Genre: Shoot 'em up, Indie
Platform: Steam, Playstation Network (PSP)
For the many of you that do not know, Who's That Flying (commonly refered to as WTF) is a shooter similar to R-type. Made by Mediatonic, this Side-scrolling shooter puts you in the role of the mysterious "Guardian of Earth", as you protect the planet from various murderous alien-type. Being as all mighty and powerful as yourself, you can not get hit by these menaces, and, if you wish, can run up to the smalled ones and tear 'em apart. But, while you directly can not be harmed, the city you happen to be protecting will most certantly be damaged if one of the beast happens to cross your path.
The story is thinner than the air around you, which is good, cause it is mostly used to string together some over the top finishing moves and massive enemys, but you may want so stick around during the cutscenes for a laugh or 2.
You won't hear much (er, any) voice acting in this game, but the music is very decent, and fits the mood for a shoot 'em up.
-----------
All around scores:
Gameplay: 8
A sweet little shoot 'em up, at a really low price. While you won't play it forever, you will enjoy it.
Price: 9
For only 6 bucks, I can't really say theres no reason you can't afford to miss this... Plus,
theres always the chance that steam will put a deal on it.
Sound: 6
Some easily forgotten tunes, that, despite there not- so - redeeming qualitys, help hold the game together.
Compatibility: 10
Worked perfectly on my PC. Trust me, as long as you have a computer, you should be able to handle this.
Replay Value: 7
Fun for the first play through, you may get tired with the story (or lack of one, depending on how you look at it,) rather quickly, making you realie on "Infinite Mode" and the ever- copy/pasted "Challenge Mode", which may keep your intreast going for a short while.
--------------
TOTAL SCORE:
80 Out of 100!!!
A very simple game that is a very good deal for the money!
