*Sorry for flooding the home page with entries! I saw the site was back up and so I pasted everything I'd been keeping track of since the summer.
Fun little game with a silly story. What the hell is this genre called? It’s those games where you fly a plane or a helicopter and the camera looks down from above you at the ground, and there are other enemy planes and crazy weapons and stuff firing from the ground and bullets flying everywhere as the screen scrolls upward. I haven’t played a good one of those in a while, till now. Jamestown is short, took just 2 or 3 hours to beat the campaign and a bunch of challenge levels. Also, I beat 3/5 of the campaign twice because once you get to level 4 (of 5), you realize that it is locked until you beat the previous campaign levels on Legendary difficulty (that’s difficulty 3 of 5). I had beaten levels 1-3 on Normal (…difficulty 1 of 5 ) so I had to re-do them. It wasn’t that hard though. Even level 4 on Legendary wasn’t too bad. I might have tried it 2 or 3 times. But level 5, my god. I spent an hour alone on that level, and I died to the boss twice before beating him. Tough, very challenging in a great way. I felt like a god when I finally beat the boss, and even when I would pass certain parts of the level.
The boss, by the way, is a Spanish Conquistador. Why? Because the Spanish and the Martians are allied against you, the British, duh. You’re fighting over the Jamestown colony on Mars. What, you didn’t know Jamestown was on Mars? Yeah, that’s where the British founded it. I told you it had a silly story, thoroughly entertaining. Play a bunch of challenge levels and extra map packs for longevity.
