Noitu Love - Because twitchy beat-em-ups will always be cool. Always.

If this doesn't get you charged to beat up robots, I can't help you.

This is another game i knew by vague reputation well before I ever played it.  That being said, I really knew nothing about it.  It was mostly just a lot of people saying how neat or crummy it was, without actually talking about it at all.  I eventually got a copy of it, not really expecting much.  What I got was a old-school beat-em-up with a pace so fast you'll sit and drill through it in one sitting.

I have no idea why, but this gets me so fired up...

The basic story is pure, old-school Nintendo.  You start in the HQ of a world protection agency, which quickly comes under attack by the evil Professor Darnacus Damnation.  His horde of robots assaults the world, and it's up to you to stop them by beating the living hell out of them.  Sound like Mega Man?  It is, a bit, but it's also very much a game all its own.

Firstly, the games has a very, very quick pace.  Enemies come fast and thick, and even though they shatter with some ease once you get the hang of things, the reinforcements are always coming.  In addition, there are enough Nintendo-hard puzzles and secrets to keep you playing and bashing your keyboard after you failed that jump FOR THE SIXTH TIME AJAVHSVXHJAVXJ

..sorry.

Those damn vials...why can't I just skip them...why...

Plus, the graphics feel like old-school gameboy.  This might be a bad thing, but they are so smooth and well done, it takes you on a slide right back to the olden days, even if you didn't play back in the in the olden days.  The bosses are big, strange (the musical one had me giggling the whole time), and well drawn, every level has a distinct personality, and the fighting never seems to get repetitive, somehow.

Head over here and grab up a copy, and get out there to save humanity from insane grinning robots!  If that doesn't get you revved up to play, you need more help then i can give.
