Wii Mushroom Men: The Spore Wars

Anspiel-Bericht:

Gamecock makes us happy to catch a nasty bout of fungus with this enjoyable looking adventure.

Posted by Chris Buffa on Wednesday, March 12, 2008

Wii owners searching for quality third party software should catch a nasty case of fungus with Mushroom Men, Gamecock's upcoming 3-D adventure game, developed by Red Fly Studio. In this pint-sized adventure, you play as a tiny mushroom man named Pax that must save his world from evil. His adventure will take him into people's kitchens and backyards, where you'll do battle with a host of creatures, including spiders, oppossums and rabbits.

Gamecock hopes to put a fungus umungus this fall.

At its core, Mushroom Men looks like a fun romp through everyday places, made even more enjoyable, thanks to Red Fly's imagination. You can scale large objects using one of those sticky hands available in capsule toy machines, and you can mix and match different items to create weapons. For example, our hero battles enemies using a DS stylus, but he can also turn that into a club by attaching a thimble. Furthermore, a blade from a pocketknife and a matchstick becomes an axe. With lots of different items in the game, you're free to experiment, turning something as simple as a bobble head into a flamethrower.

Although you'll spend plenty of time killing spiders and other bugs, you'll also need to solve puzzles. During our demo, we watched as Pax navigated his way towards a giant motorcycle and tiptoed on a narrow beam, all in the hopes of dropping a giant box into a fiendish killer rabbit, called a wabbit. Eventually, his rabbit assassination led him to their leader, the jackalope, a monster with crazy eyes and horns.

In addition to using his sticky hand, Pax can also glide with his mushroom cap. His cap also proves useful for seeing how much damage he's taken. The more he gets hit, the more pieces of the cap fly off, exposing the gooey Mushroom brain underneath.

It's too early to pass judgment, but thus far, we like Mushroom Men and can't wait to play it. And if it turns out to be good, the Wii version will complement the DS edition and prequel, Mushroom Men: Rise of the Fungi. For now, abstain from eating mushrooms on your pizza. You may unwittingly devour the world's only savior.

Geile Idee mit dem Pilzhut als Lebensanzeige! :-D
 
Ich finde es gar nichtmal so detailarm.
Finde es richtig stimmig.

Ich behalte es auch im Auge.

Vielleicht gibt es auch noch eine DS-Wii Funktion :D
 
Hmm, sieht wirklich super aus, es ist sehr voll von Details (!) nur das merkt man halt nicht weil man sich in großen Räumen befindet!
 
Gefällt mir nicht irgendwie.

Wirkt für mich iwie so lahm und schwammig. Das "Insect Smashing Game" Video schreckt mich ab.
 
Joah an denAttacken ändern sie bitte noch was.

Aber das Spiel scheint anscheinend kein festes HUD zu brauchen, find ich auchmal gut! :-)
 
Das sieht eigentlich ganz gut aus... Und bis zum Release könnte es sich sogar noch ein bisschen verbessern.

Aber hoffentlich ist das nicht ein einfaches Jump'n'Run bei dem man ein bisschen Gegner kloppen muss. Ich hätte es gerne, wenn es in die Action Adventure Richtung gehen würde.
 
PAL Release diesen Oktober :-)

Das PR ezieht sich zwar auf die DS Fassung - Wii Version wird am Schluss aber auch erwähnt.
Mushroom Men – Rise of the Fungi
DEVELOPER: Red Fly Studio
GENRE: Action Adventure
RELEASE DATE: October 2008

An ichorous green meteor plummets through the Earth’s atmosphere, fracturing and showering the earth with glowing green space dust that affects all forms of life nearby. Some plant life - mushrooms and cacti - acquire sentience while, the meteor twists and mutates other life forms, transforming insects and animals into semi-intelligent, warlike communities.

The story of Mushroom Men is told in Acts, each Act occurring in a completely unique environment. Each version of the game (DS and Wii) tells different portions of the history of the Mushroom Men universe. The DS and Wii versions are completely different stories from one-another. The DS version, Mushroom Men – Rise of the Fungi, is the first release and shows the development of the Mushroom nations, starting very early in Mushroom Men history. The early days of the Mushroom Men were simpler times as the Mushroom Men were just learning to walk, communicate and interact with their world. As the Mushroom Men learn how their world works, they take the player with them, developing their skills, abilities and histories up to the start of the Spore Wars.

Mushroom Men – Rise of the Fungi throws gamers into the action at the point when the different Mushroom nations form, with each claiming a different part of the world as their exclusive territory. The Bolete Tribe and the Morels live in isolation and thrive for a time in peace and quiet. The Amanitas Empire considers themselves superior to the Bolete and the Morels and remains segregated from the other nations until they build forces strong enough to conquer everyone. The Mushroom Men face many threats in this hostile new world. Their size makes them targets for all manner of creatures: spiders, beetles, hornets, and other creatures that threaten to destroy their villages. The Amanitas therefore build their forces by consuming the prosperity of other groups. Raging territorial attacks lead to the terrible Spore Wars. The mysteries of the Mushrooms’ origins fade completely into myth, a riddle that promises great knowledge and power to the one who can find its answer…

Mushroom Men – Rise of the Fungi tells the story of the birth of the Mushroom Men. It starts out with the simple tribe of Bolete learning to live off the land. They struggle against their environment for a time until the Amanitas Empire arrives. To their dismay, the Bolete learn that their fellow Mushroom Men aren’t any better than the hostile insects and other creatures that threaten them.

Mushroom Men – The Spore Wars for Wii & Mushroom Men – Rise of the Fungi for DS will be available across North America & Europe from October 2008.

Also muss man beides Spielen um die ganze Storyline mitzubekommen. Dann pass ich doch lieber.
 
Sind ja 2 verschiedene Spiele mit unterschiedlichen Storys (keine Nachfolger), denke das man jedes einzeln spielen kann ohne das andere zu kennen.
