Thing-Thing Arena 2

Thing-Thing Arena 2 is another installment in the popular flash shooter Thing-Thing series. This title, in particular, is a highly polished survival shooter, in which your character (who is a customizable and nameable avatar, by the way) is confined to a small area and must fend off waves of attackers. Like other flash survival games, you have a choice of different game modes, which change the enemies you're facing, as well as the arena you're battling them in. Different enemies attack in different patterns and at different speeds, so its up to you to devise the best tactic to down each one. After that, its pretty much you're standard stay alive scenario; conserve you're health as long as possible, scrummage for ammo among you're foes, that kind of thing. However, the Thing-Thing art style (which I have liked in the previous titles) brings a nice touch to the game, and the enemy graphics and animations are superb. The frame rate mostly remained smooth, however, it did slow down when there were a few too many enemies on screen, or too much blood. The enemies are diverse, however the levels are not; it seemed that that the Thing-Thing universe is entirely urban. There are zombies, flying robots, crazy creatures called stinky beans, and humans to face. I also enjoyed the various power ups (although they are few, they are good, such as the "stop time" power up) and the awesome arsenal at you're disposal. The guns are a pleasure to behold and to fire; massive machine guns and rail guns that dwarf you're character.
