Defense Grid

In March, Xbox Live Arcade games finally get its first tower defense, Crystal Defenders, which unfortunately is very disappointing. Square Enix 'work is quite good when played on the iPod, but unfortunately, the version of the Xbox Live Arcade is the usual port without the addition of what is to maximize the performance of the console. Fortunately, now there are Hidden Path Entertainment is going to try to improve the image of the tower defense game, Defense Grid. Initially, the game was released for PC last year and this game caught the attention of gamers.

For gamers who are confused as to what it is tower defense, I will try to explain here. Tower defense is a type of game where players are required to build the towers that would block the move of the enemy (the enemy barrage came) so that players can not reach the headquarters. This is what will be the background of the game Defense Grid, which is set in a sci-fi world where the aliens are attacking the last remnants of our civilization. Later, there will be help from AI to help you understand the basic game here. You will also be treated to an exciting orchestral music while playing.

One thing that distinguishes between Defense Grid of those games with a similar genre is after the enemy had reached the headquarters of you, they should try to get out of your base is. The enemy will try to steal one or more core belongs to you, then will try to run away from where they came in and it will be easier for you to thwart their efforts. But your efforts will not always succeed. If the enemy when you're bringing core and you managed to defeat him, then the core will be dropped and may only be stolen by other enemies who are still alive. You're the only who can take it back.

Permainanakan beginning was quite easy and even sluggish. But having to enter into level 3, you will begin to feel the challenge. Each level that is equipped with a 3D effect is pretty good, just that unfortunately, you can not rotate the camera as they pleased you. You can only zoom-in or zoom-out around the place.

Here are some types of towers that you can wake up early in the game:

Gun Tower, not too expensive and mediocre defense
Tower Inferno, an attack using a flame thrower, a short but effective attack against the enemy who were swarming
Laser Tower, an effect that will continue to burn the enemy even though they had passed on and not in the line of fire
Temporal Tower, serves to slow the enemy.
