Part 2 of 2. Classic Game Room HD reviews ASSAULT HEROES for Xbox 360 Live Arcade! Assault Heroes for XBLA is an amazing game that harks back to the days of olde, the years of yesteryear when we played games like IKARI WARRIORS and COMMANDO in the arcades!! An amazingly fun game that reminds us of 1980's action films like Predator and the Running Man, Assault Heroes is a joy to play because of the excellent control scheme for the game. It's just like Robotron 2084 and Smash TV where you control the movement of the heavily armored Micro Machine Death Machine with your left analog stick, and control the direction of fire with the right analog stick. Booya! Mow down lines of bad guys like Princess Vespa in Spaceballs! There's no Force Unleashed in this game, this game is all about powering up your minigun, flamethrower and rocket launcher and blasting hordes of tanks, soldiers, mecha and other various angry and color bad guys. The gameplay is fast and ferocious and you'll see game footage on screen of us plowing our way through forests, seas and futuristic bases. It is a top down perspective game that has terrific co-op gameplay for two players over Xbox Live Arcade XBLA. Assault Heroes is published by Sierra (I LOVE SPACE QUEST BRING IT BACK) and developed by Wanako Studios. The sequel is Assault Heroes 2, we'll do a review of that. It costs a few Microsoft points these days, has achievements that you can earn and also supports HD graphics. Not on PS3 or Atari 7800... yet. Achievement.
