Read full review. Kirby Yablonski — Jul 28, In the end Wreckateer shows that a causal puzzle game played with the Kinect can be enjoyable. I am sure that many will complain about the lack of being able to us a traditional controller, but once you experience the simplicity and ease of the Kinect controls, it just makes sense.
I do have say though that the game can be repetitive and there is not a lot of incentive to play once your done; however, given the affordable price of MS Points, Kinect owners may just want to take a serious look at this downloadable title. Griffin McElroy — Jul 24, In small, small bites, Wreckateer's chaos is infrequent enough to be relatively inoffensive.
It's actually well-suited for a party game, as its score-chasing design and habit of overstaying its welcome are built for frequent turn-passing. Getting sick of flinging birds at pigs? Your job is to manually aim your ballista, load up your shot, figure out how much power to use the stronger the better and let it fly.
From there, you can guide your shot a number of ways, depending on what kind of ammunition you use. With a basic shot, for example, you can swat away at it with your hands, adding topspin. With a guided shot, you spread your arms like an airplane and aim it with more precision.
Each stage level in "Wreckateer" is packed with targets aplenty, as well as bonus objectives including score multiplier shields and goblins that taunt you from the highest towers.
Once the player is satisfied with how they've lined up their shot, they fire it by lifting their arms so they're perpendicular to their body.
Once the shot is airborne, the camera switches to a third-person perspective, allowing the player to influence the direction of their missile. There are a variety of projectiles available including bog-standard rocks, boulders that splinter into four smaller stones, exploding rocks and stones that speed up once activated while in flight.
By slapping the air in front of them, players can coax their missiles a little to the left and right or up or down. They activate any special ability their boulder has by raising both arms. There's one projectile in the game's arsenal that allows the player a greater degree of control while in-flight: the Flying Shot. Once they've launched, players can raise their arms to cause a pair of wings to open, and they can then guide the Flying Shot with a greater degree of control and finesse by ducking and weaving their body.
This allows them to pilot the Flying Shot through openings, hitting targets and parcels of explosives that are dotted around the target buildings. Players have three types of medal to aim for in each level: gold, silver and bronze. As one would expect, earning a gold in the early stages of the game is absolute child's play, but The Wreckateer ramps up the difficulty as time goes on. It soon becomes apparent that the game awards points based on the player's ability to hit certain targets or detonate the aforementioned packs of explosives to cause the maximum amount of damage in the targets.
