New game I stumbled upon...
SMASH DOWN!!!
http://smashdown.sevengames.com/main/?
Smash down is a on-line boxing game...
You manage your fighter (train him, etc.), and then you either challenge someone, or someone challenges you...
You assign 7 offensive moves pr. fight, and 7 defensive moves.
Example:
3 first Assigned offensive moves:
Jab left - Jab left - Jab right
3 first defensive moves:
head Right - Head right - Head left
In the fight, both players have preset both their 7 off. and their 7 def. moves, so the computer AI just mashes them up against each other.
Each boxer does one offensive move at a time, and then that attack is measured up against the opponent's defensive move.
As you can see, my defensive moves are a mirror of my attacks, meaning I'm betting my opponent will attack me the same way I do...
That never works... It's all a bit random, but fun...
The animations are good. the "Fights" are somewhat spellbinding...
But be warned:
This is a game from SevenGames, and they DO have a pay option, so there will be super-boxers there...
I play for free, and I enjoy it...
I had a BUNCH of losses to begin with, but thats because I didn't know where to turn off the "accept challenges",
and hadn't fully understood the fact that if you are challenged, and don't prep your fights, you lose by default... :D
So never skip a prep: the worst thing that can happen is that you lose after all...
Anyways:
Here's a few tips...
- Training. Don't start fighting, start training. Training gives you access to more moves (Uppercuts, Low Blows, Etc.)
You should also consider buying a level 2 gym. it's gonna cost you a inclining amount of in-game-money
(2000$ for lvl 2, 3000 for lvl 3, etc.), but you start of with 200.000 in-game-$$$... So go for it...
- KO recovery Be careful when it comes to buying these. Yes, you recover from 1, 2, etc. KO's, BUT: you don't get up
with a full health bar, and that could be money out the window...
More if I learn something new...
But this is a time consuming game (training sessions take 90 min.), so you may wanna do like me: Just let it run in the background while your
boxer is training up a few levels of fitness, and go check out the boards over here... ;)
And yes: you can challenge specific players... ;) ;) ;)
Enjoy...
