XG Blast on DS

XG Blast Screen Shots

XG Blast is a Shooting game available on the DS.

XG Blast is a Shooting game. Shooting games present a world in which the character must shoot their way out of dangerous situations. They provide the player with an array of weapons tailored to specific tasks. This unavoidably involves a combination of fisticuffs and gun based fighting that dictates the violent nature of these experiences. Beneath this harsh exterior though is often an intricate tactile game - and this is usually what drives the player.

XG Blast is a fun looking classic shooter game for the DS. I haven't played many shooter games before so I'm relatively new to them as a player. I have seen a few examples of older shooter games, and this one takes a lot of style tips from retro arcades - it looks and feels like an old game, but the gameplay is right up to date, using the DS's touch screen as well as all the buttons.

My first mistake was in trying to play the game straight away before reading the instructions properly - but I'm left handed! So when I tried to use the stylus in my left hand and control the ship at the same time I got a bit stuck. Back to the options screen and my difficulties were quickly sorted out, thank goodness!
