Review Scoring Details for Omega Five

|

Gameplay: 8.2

It's a dialed-in, responsive game that features power ups for the weapons, and additional health spread throughout the game. I like how massive baddies show up and try to do you in with weirdo, off-the-wall attacks; this is a fun game to play.

Graphics: 8.0
Again, the game has the spit and polish many full retail games don't have. The eye candy is really clear and clean looking; throw in some additional weather effects and the well-placed flying dragon and this is a game that has absolutely no sort of storyline, but sure looks pretty.

Sound: 6.0
The "bad" voice work, average looping music and underscored sound effects is a blight on a really well-developed game.

Difficulty: Medium
It is an average game as far as challenge goes.

Concept: 7.4
It may be one of the first game genres made, but the fancy graphics and all-out action coupled with some easy to get downloadable content, and the side-scrolling shooter is slick again.

Multiplayer: 6.0
A disappointment for those of you scoring at home, the game should have been made available for online multiplayer action and it simply was not.

Overall: 7.3
Like I said above, the game is pretty and nice to look at, but ultimately shallow (I added that part) and while a distraction for a week or so, the game is too short and not deep enough to qualify for obsessiveness to get on the Live leaderboard.
