Splosion Man Review - Sploding Fun

`Splosion Man is one of the gems you will find on the Xbox Live Arcade (which is probably one of the best things about the Xbox 360) and is well worth playing. It is made by a small developer called Twisted Pixel who also made the decent arcade game the Maw (which I will review soon) Sure they might not have a million pounds budget and a couple of people making a game but occasionally they show what videogames are all about and this is a case of that.

Splosion Man is one of the best Xbox Live arcade games out there and it provides pure fun! Your aim is to create havoc and chaos among some pesky scientists who made you (a strange cute fiery creature) It is a platform game mainly with you trying to reach the end by `sploding which sort is a mix between jumping, exploding and bouncing! You have to try to get past various obstacles and enemies and reach the end. There are even little extra things to do like collecting the delicious cake in each level.

The game starts off pretty easy but gradually gets harder and by the end turns very hard to do. It becomes challenging and rewarding when you finish a particularly tough level. It is also pretty funny whether you are sploding or when you destroy a scientist you see lots of meat come from them! Even when you stand still Splosion Man does a thing like pretend to be an aeroplane and it is a really nice game.

The game is fantastic fun and with 50 levels single player and another 50 levels multiplayer (which is completely different and requires some `sploding teamwork) it is great value for money. You can even get a gamer picture from the game and I think a theme. It is also one on the first games to include avatar awards and you get a free t shirt when you get to a certain point of the game! All of this for only 800 Microsoft Points which is about £6! It even has some easy achievements as well!

Overall this is a real gem and one of the top Xbox Live Arcade games and a must have!
