The latest from Mushroom Men

by Alisha Karabinus { Aug 30th 2007 at 11:25AM }

Gamecock's Mushroom Men isn't due until next fall, but it's coming along swimmingly. In the video that pops up after the break, we get a mix of developer commentary and early game footage, and both elements give us hope for this intriguing title. The environments, while still a little rough, show a great deal of promise, and both the world and the mechanics seem interesting. One of the best parts? The DS game won't be the exact same story, but rather a prequel, which will offer gamers who want to pick up both a richer, more interesting experience. On the one hand, we chafe at the idea of feeling like we have to buy both, but on the other, it's nice to know that there are two possible experiences out there from which we can choose. Freedom of choice is a beautiful thing -- and we expect the game will be, as well.

Smart idea making the DS version a prequel and a side-scroller.

This game looks like it will be amazing! I'm sure graphics will improve and the story will develop and controls should be good. I guess it's a new idea that I can't recall ever being used before "you controlling mushrooms" and it looks pretty fun so far.

It appeals to me.

This could be the Wii's answer to Ratchet and Clank. Hopefully good graphics and interesting and innovative weapons could make this title a must-buy. Also, Red Fly's music just keeps getting better.

ok i have to say when i first heard and saw anything on this game i was very sceptical and didnt think much about it all.

Since then ive seen and heard nothign till now and i have to say im actualy impressed it looks like its coming along amazingly, i mean obviously the graphics will be updated too and some of the environments but its now definately caught my attention. Ill have to keep an eye out for this one more.
