The folks over at GamerTagRadio have uploaded a video of Mutant Storm Empire, a sequel to Xbox Live Arcade launch title Mutant Storm Reloaded. From this short video clip, it looks like the game's improved in several ways:
- Weapons look like they do real damage. MSR's weapons seemed quite anemic and boring at times.
- Rooms are stitched together. MSR broke up the action by loading each new room separately, making the game feel less immediate. The new game appears to be seamless, with no load times.
- Greater environmental variability. In this 80-second clip, we saw two surprises: the rolling wheels of doom and the pop-up mini-boss. If the rest of the game holds the same density of surprises, we'll be mighty pleased. Creativity like that freshens this well-exploited genre.
Now, what's the cheapest way to get a bucketload of points?
