C.O.R.E. spells 'uninspiring'

by Chris Greenhough { May 22nd 2008 at 4:00PM }

Top-drawer first-person shooters are a rare breed on the DS (and after Metroid Prime Hunters almost gave us carpal tunnel syndrome, we're still wondering whether they're a good idea), so when Polish developer NoWay announced that they had a new futuristic first-person shooter in the works, simply titled C.O.R.E., our ears pricked up.

Then we read the press release for the game, and scoured the natty concept art, and our eyelids suddenly began to feel awfully heavy. The truth is that C.O.R.E. sounds pretty hackneyed, what with its promise of marines, rocket launchers, and a sci-fi-tinged plot.

Still, we'll forgive it for all of that if it provides us with a fast, fun shooting experience. Local play for up to four players off of one card is at least a decent start.

As a PC gamer, I don't really see the point trying FPS games on a handheld (I can barely see the point of them on a full-blown console) -- make games that are appropriate to the hardware, people.

"Boss, a game like Halo 4 could really boost our sales, but we'd surely get sued. Any ideas?"

"Make Master Chief's visor see through and put it on the DS. Done deal!"

so a resounding "meh." then?

The moon game has me deeply intrigued. This doesn't really excite me too much, but it could be awesome, you never know.

Ok so a little off topic but what did you do to get over the awful cramping that came with MPH? I have huge hands and can only play for a max of 15 min at a time.
This really bums me out because I searched every where until I finally found it and want to finish

And to be honest I am a pc FPS guy as well but I honestly like the controls to MPH as well as Starfox on the DS and believe FPS on the go are pretty awesome especially with relieving some holiday season stress with family haha jk
