Nanostray - War is the first thing

With all the diversity of the range of games for Nintendo DS separate genres represented at the surprisingly sparingly. It focuses on the so-called scroll-shooters - Arcade Duel a third person with the heavily armed aircraft. For the same Game Boy Advance such projects has been issued more than one dozen, while DS can boast only one game. She called Nanostray and created by the company Shin'en. Many holders of GBA known for a series of arcades Iridium. It seems that it is creating a wealth of experience skroll-shooters spodvignul Shin'en to develop the new platform. A lack of choice does not allow fans quality arcades pass this creation.

Developers managed to kill one laser shot just a couple of rabbits, because they simply do not have filled a vacant niche, and in addition have shown the players and hidden in the depths of the console's processing capabilities Mikhail three-dimensional graphics. In the Home screen (upper) Nanostray gives bright, dynamic and very saturated to the limit of special effects picture, and does so at a speed of 60 frames per second.

Neat not only ships but also the background landscapes, which are replete with fire belching volcanoes, generats and other working arrangements. Courage to say that if at least a third of the companies approached the process of creating games with the same care, the quality of graphics on the DS has long become compete on an equal footing with the PSP. Maybe the guys from Shin'en think it is time for the opening of special courses to teach skills secrets? It seems that the brilliant ideas they lot. Guessed it, how to deal with the "uncomfortable" by the ratio of the screen sides, just slightly changing the angle. As a result, the player looks on the battlefield is not a top-down, but by a small angle, which only adds dynamic. It seems that the ship is constantly finds in a huge crater. The feeling is enhanced at the levels that represent a long shaft, in rapid cornering them at the head may even slightly.

Keep your fingers from corn

It becomes clear from where legend has taken scant memory of the lost pilot, who manages the infernal machine that flies from one planet to another, scraping them from the high-tech evil. No brain is not endure such congestion, however, it is not required. Where a large load of Nanostray have to withstand the index fingers, as they always doomed hold the position both Shift-key. Left responsible for the shooting from the core of weapons. Let it not be because of increased enemy activity. Right includes a special "magnet" attractive bonuses, which exploded out of villains. Some of these bonuses replenish your top, takes part at raising energozaryada alternative weapons. Because the levels are not too long, not fingers, but the way to keep the console in the hands convenient not be called, as well as the system of switching between the four types of weapons available, which is done through on-screen buttons. Unfortunately, they did not touch felt, and translate the view from the top at the bottom of your screen during a side battle fraught with the loss. But the switch is useful because certain types of "cannons" can shoot sideways, samonavodyaschiesya produce electrical charges and discharges on the beat circle. At some point it is great help.

Using the "magnet" may cause protest in the minds of fans, as it greatly simplifies earn points. Typically in such arcades of the pilot has to independently collect bonuses between dodging obstacles and enemy fighters. Developers, of course, in this case explanation. Mol, the ratio of the display of the DS party will not allow a fighter quickly catch all the bonuses because they will disappear quickly, and on the movement from one side to another, he devote too much time. On the other hand, Shin'en might guess impose penalties for the use of "magnet" and thus create a certain intrigue in the fight for first place in the ranking table. One such is located on the official website of the game to get into it, it is necessary in the "World top" introduce a special "nanocode", which is issued at the conclusion of the main campaign.

Wanted experts

Frankly, more and fight for what is not. Available eight levels in Normal mode patrol just one sitting, despite the abundance of traps and horrible bosses at the end of each location. Location first well-remembered on the first time, and the latter easily destroyed by nuclear bombs. The task made easier because the level is issued at 5 lives, and the number of attempts by his passing is not limited. Add to that, all nuclear blaster restored after each "death". Of course, in addition to "normal" levels of the regime, there are still difficulties "advanced" and "expert", but they are not content, and the existence of restrictions on the number of ships and the number of repeated attempts. Thanks to this joy of victory over another kiborgom, armed with machine guns, hundreds increases enormously. For the most capable in Nanostray more peculiar soccer consisting of a couple of tens of challenging assignments. They need to recruit a certain number of points, level with the only fly a certain type of life weapons.


After passing the primary campaign ease the complexity of the tasks of the championship could unpleasant surprise, but they would not score the game on the dusty shelf and forget about Nanostray before the Thunderbirds, which already is under construction. Appear and threaten competitors, one of which will Insurgents Ride Over The River DS. Meanwhile, the analogies with this arcade simply do not have that choice among fans of this genre is left. However, it is not fatal verdict because it merits a lot, but for most shortcomings can be ignored. In addition, the game has excellent graphics capability to demonstrate DS, will be opening for many that they are not and so modest.
