| Atari Launches 'Point Blank DS' Atari has announced the launch of Point Blank DS for Nintendo DS from Namco Bandai Games, available now at retailers across Europe. The classic arcade shoot-em-up has come to rest in the perfect place on Nintendo's DS console, the stylus and touch screen lending themselves impeccably to the game's rapid-fire gameplay. In keeping with the game's heritage, the fast, addictive gameplay and fun visual style are all intact in Point Blank DS. Where once a light gun was the digital sharp-shooter's weapon of choice, now the stylus is the means by which players can pepper the DS screen with bullet holes in search of that elusive bulls-eye. Players' hand eye coordination and steely nerve will be tested to the max across 40 different stages, with gameplay modes including high-score free play, arcade play, and classic coin-op. Alongside the familiar styles of play are the brand new Brain Massage challenge, which measures players abilities through a series of frenetic quick fire shoot outs, and two player wireless multiplayer mode which lets players duel it out through a series of chaotic mini-games to see who's really quickest on the draw. The four difficulty settings along with the variety of gameplay on offer ensure there's something for everyone in Point Blank DS, whether a private eye .45 Magnum type, or a nervous grandma with hubby's old revolver in the bedside cabinet. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Game News :: home page |
