![]() If you really want to play a particular title that’s only the PS3, that’s why you’ll choose a PS3 over an Xbox 360. Exclusive titles sell hardware, and that’s been true for decades. Uniqueness is one of the key selling points of consoles. Yet the console makers generally don’t allow this. Activision would be happy if Call of Duty players on Xbox could play with PlayStation players likewise EA would be excited to have FIFA players competing across all platforms. Certainly Wargaming would love to see that happen. World of Tanks on the Xbox 360 has its own servers, and there will not be cross-platform play with World of Tanks on the PC. The game is playable across the Wii U, PC and iOS. There are 4,000 user-created levels available, which Wii U users can access. We can’t wait to see how creative they are, whether in tactical multiplayer online or in the new levels they build.” Cubemen 2 is an amazing game and a great fit for Nintendo players. “We’ve spent the last few months working with both Nintendo and 3 Sprockets, the game’s developer, to make this a reality. “I’m really proud to be able to announce this,” said Nic Watt, creative director at Nnooo. ![]() Australian indie developers Nnooo are releasing Cubemen 2 later this year on the Wii U, joining the PC and iOS versions in allowing cross-platform multiplayer and sharing of content. We’re seeing glimmers of this on Nintendo Wii U. You were never allowed to play with gamers who dwelt in other gardens – in fact, you couldn’t even see them or be made aware of their existence. If you have access to a computer (most ideal) or an iPad though, those releases will probably be more enjoyable.Traditionally game consoles have been walled gardens, where users could wander freely amongst the delights of the games provided. Don’t get me wrong this developer definitely deserves your money, and the Wii U version is definitely playable and enjoyable. Cubemen 2 Review – ConclusionĬubemen 2 is definitely worth your time, but I’m just not sure the Wii U version is the one you should be getting. However, once I found the ideal view, I rarely moved far from it, making this issue more annoying than game breaking. It was hard trying to maneuver around the environments using a combination of buttons, analog sticks, and the stylus. Wii U games are at their best when they use both the gamepad AND the TV, not one or the other. For a Wii U game, this is disappointment. Enemy units come so fast, there is no reason to not look at your gamepad. While this game focuses on using the gamepad to click and deploy units, using the TV is near impossible. Yet, I played this game on the wrong device. Lots to do, a variety of environments to traverse, and plenty of units to deploy. With So Much Good, Why So Much Disappointment? It is unfortunate, however, that so few people are online playing the Wii U version, at least at the time of this review. ![]() The online modes are also great fun you can play with up to six players online in team or solo battles there’s even an option to take on a group of AI opponents. Cubes can be used to buy and upgrade units. You amass cubes by destroying enemy units. The game uses cubes as currency, since all the units are made of cubes. If you can think of the unit or an ability, it’s probably available. The depth of available units and what they can do is great, and the developers have not left players wanting. The game offers a wide variety of units to choose from and different skins for both defensive and offensive environments – these were better than I thought! In some, you are tasked with defending your base against waves and waves of enemies, while in others it is your job to destroy the enemy bases. There are both defensive and offensive goals spread across a ton of scenarios. You control a base camp from which you can build and deploy your troops. I suppose this isn’t entirely a new concept, as other tower defense titles have done this as well, however, it is perhaps the most effective use of mobile ‘towers’ that I have ever seen, and the real time strategy elements add a great twist. Ubemen 2 is definitely worth your time, but I'm just not sure the Wii U version is the one you should be getting
