Cybiko Elite/Game Reviews | Death From Above

Death from Above

Many people consider Death from Above the best air combat game for the Cybiko, and I would have to agree. It has many things going for it, but still has flaws. Below, I will tell you why Death from Above is a game I would recommend.

The graphics in Death from Above are very nice. The game is in 2d, not an overhead view, but true 2d. The ship is very well animated and so are your regular shot and grenades. The game looks very good and I think the game disserves its rightful place in the upper echelon of Cybiko games. The next section is the most important, gameplay and that is what I will discuss next.

The game plays horrid. The controls feel way too loosed, for example, when you press up your ship bounces around the screen for a few seconds, that is totally un- acceptable. The amount of buttons is perfect and they work well. You can shoot grenades and regular ammo, you control with the d pad. This game doesn’t need a speed boost and plays very fast. If it weren’t for the almost unbearable controls this game could be close to perfect. The next section will discuss the fun factor, it is not a necessary part of a game, but decides how long you will play and enjoy the game.

This game is very fun. I like air combat games and I think they are enjoyable and long lasting, especially this one. The fun of this game should keep you playing for a long time. Each games needs to be fun to keep the user entertained and I think Cybiko did a good job of making Death from Above an enjoyable game that you should keep on your Cybiko for a pretty long time. The next section will discuss the single player.

The single player in Death from Above is good. Death from Above has an enjoyable single player, but I think the game could have benefited from a better multi player. The single player is enjoyable and except for the sloppy controls, perfect. I think everyone will be entertained by the single player mode, but with a multiplayer mode the game would have gotten extra points. Now I will conclude and give my overall score.

This game is very enjoyable, but a game that is not without its share of flaws. The game could have benefited from a multi player mode and tighter controls, but still is a good game. Overall I would recommend this game and think it disserves a download. After playing this game I think you will agree with everything I said.
