Jungle Resistance

The environments are beautifully drawn, and the animations are comically silly, from the tigers that wobble through the jungle like the egyptians from ye old music videos, to the Vader-helmeted hunters that urgently run in the opposite direction when the terminal banana hits them. Sadly, that's about all the fun you get. The game is so easy that the first two thirds can be beat using only monkeys (the first tower available), not least because upgrades for other towers unlock way too late. There is barely any difference between the tower types, except some shoot and some send out furries that claw at the mob. At least the missing tool tips make no difference, because your options are limited, and to the most part pointless. There is only one enemy type: a brain-less walker that announces the extent of his health bar with variations in its costume (the hovering wolf is my personal favorite). The absolute crown jewel of game play is the neglect of adherence to screen dimensions. Some choices simply can't be clicked on some maps, because they are displayed off-screen. Good for a laugh, but don't expect any challenge or variation.

Tower defense slop.

I recommend this game with the proviso that it is only worth buying on sale, is definitely not worth the original price. This is a fun little time wasting game, Kingdom Rush style with a few flaws, game play is straightforward but the gap between waves is ridiculously long, some tower placement areas are out of the reach of the mouse and you can only choose limited tower types and can't upgrade them beyond level 3. I would also like to see a skill tree of some sort because you can upgrade the towers easily but only to level 3. You end up with heaps on money but no ability to use it. Edit - waves don't finish when you kill the last human, you have to wait for the stupid hourglass to run down and then the gap between waves is too long - needs the ability to force waves. Also needs a speed up button
