Ok before I start I just want to say; YES I UNDERSTAND a 2p customization and a proper SFIV
like training mode, would have been the better gift by Namco. However
I'm not going to bother wasting time on what we should of had,
therefore I will focus on what Namco has given us in its downloadable
package and what I make of it.
First of all, I just want to
say that I was never a particular fan of Scenario Mode. I thought it
was a long winded average mode, with a extremely boring story. So come
January the 18th, I really didn't have any high expectations to this
update. However after playing for about a week I must say I was
mostly impressed. To my suprise the connection quality feels really
good, even when playing with some of my American friends who live in a
different continent. Sure there can be the occasional slow down, but I
did manage to pull of at least 90% of the moves that I wanted.
The
gameplay and enemies although they are still the same, are much more
fun fighting off when you have a human partner on your side. It felt
like I was playing the 90's Teenage Mutant Nina Turtles games on the
arcades all over again. The update has three difficulty levels;
easy, medium and hard, each difficulty can be chosen when creating a
room, but I must warn you that the difficulty may be deceiving for
some. Regardless of the difficulty you chose, you will still be given
more than just a challenge. Easy could only really be considered easy
when you compare it to the other difficulty levels in the game. All I
can say is that if you love a challenge, like me, then you are going to
be delighted with Scenario Co - Op.
Although I did say that
I have been largely impressed with this update, it is still not without
its flaws. The biggest flaw with me about the game, is that there are
only 10 levels. I would have liked to have seen more levels in
the game. The second problem I have, is that the levels are just a
repeat of the single level's mode. If Namco were only planning on
giving us 10 levels only, then I would of liked at least 5 of those
levels to be new.
To conclude, I personably think this is a
extremely fun mode, and I would like to thank Namco for giving us this
update. You must also remember that this update was given to us for
free, something that most game companies would have charged us for at
least a couple of quid. So yea...fun mode and I defiantly recommend you
to give it a good go !
