Review 4

Another review of Missing Reel. This time from xblig.co.uk

"Missing Reel is a top down dual stick shooter for up to four local players, which pits four heroes up against waves of attacking enemies. What makes this dual stick shooter stand out is that it has a B grade movie theme to it, which I think is really neat."

Missing Reel was given 4 thumbs up (out of 5)

Review 3

Missing Reel received its third review today over at gaygamer.net

Here is a little extract from the review.

"...what can developers do to stand out? Missing Reel manages to do so in a number of ways. The B-movie theme adds a lot of personality to the game, with levels playing off genre cliches from alien invaders to zombies. Even the game's menu is designed to look like a movie theater. There is also a nice selection of characters to unlock, each with their own strengths and weaknesses."

Another review this time from XBLA Ratings.

Missing Reel was given a respectable 7/10.

"Twin Stick Shooters seem to come to XBLIG in droves, everything from GeoWars clones to Smash TV knockoffs, but I’m glad to say that Missing Reel has character and humour to it."

Review

The guys over at Emuholic's Blog had this to say about Missing Reel;

"Missing Reel is an up to four player (human or CPU) arcade survival arena shooter. You must defend yourself against the waves of alien invaders and rack up the scores. The game seems to play fine and the CPU players do a good job of helping out, felt like other humans were playing which is rare. Well worth checking out!"


Thanks for the positive feedback!
