[…] have the courtesy to kill each other like civilized people. It’s not as supported as, say, Shark Attack Deathmatch, but Blocks and Tanks does seem to have a growing community. There’s a reason for that. […]

Now what makes this game really fun, is watching me play it. I have a severe fear of shark, even nurse sharks scare the hell out of me. I bought the game because i had a few points left over and figured “ah what the hell”.

[…] game. There’s obviously SOME interest for those on XBLIG, as seen in the success of Shark Attack Deathmatch. Maybe “Take Arms Deathmatch” sells 10,000 units and has a robust user base to keep […]

Oh yeah I understand, your review was very clear! It’s just a side comment on how we haven’t seen anything close to Ecco (there was that one XBLA game, that doesn’t count) this generation.

In a sense that makes this title even the more refreshing to see. Sure, it’s not perfect but 80MS points isn’t a lot either for at least experiencing something underwater.

On a animal rights note Cathy, I don’t really give a fuck about all the meat we eat and sttuff, but the chicken egg industry really made my blood boil! The part about ALL the male chicks that are wasted(they all get pushed into this machine that’s meant to instantly kill them! ;_;), just because they aren’t a female/can produce eggs! The documentary on that made me wanna go on a CoD style rampage on all egg factories, and create an egg shortage of epic proportions. 😛

In reply to Alan Charlesworth. I think that all the points touched by Cathy are valid. The graphics are amazing and atmosphere is well captured. The controls are much too tight. But I experienced the same thing as you when I tried the demo - the survival mode sucks. And since I am not that much into deathmatch online multiplayer gaming this game will simply not do for me.

The deathmatch really is a lot better than the survival mode. Survival is balls, frankly. Nice idea but sharks are way too hard to kill and I haven’t managed to kill even one in my many attempts. That was what originally put me off buying the game, since survival is the only thing available in the demo.

Deathmatch is the way forward. And yes, much to my astonishment, there is a community. At first there was only one guy online, which made for a very slow and boring experience, but a few minutes later a second joined. Ten minutes after that, a third. When I left that match, there were maybe 15 people on, spread across several lobbies.

It’s actually pretty fun. People do quit mid-match a lot though, and everyone looooves their knife…

In reply to nrXic. Yes, I agree. I just loved the Ecco game for Dreamcast. Although I never finished it...

In reply to nrXic. Other than the underwater setting, this is nothing remotely like Ecco. Hope you're not disappointed by that.
