[h1] Not as good as the first game still have some replay value to it. Controls are responsive however UI needs a bit more optimization for controller use. Various types of enemies to shoot, some of them might surprise you. A few different modes to choose from or you can just simply dive in. Default mode is based around taking down enemy towers and staying in the zone to complete download or upload (game just can't decide). Some sort of story mode would be a nice welcome sadly there's none. As you play through the game you'll unlock new stuff so you can change your loadout. Music is ok but nothing spectacular. Just don't loose yourself in endless waves of psychedelic eye straining visual effects. Overall not bad but better to stay with the first game. [/h1]

Игра "Waves 2: Notorious" — это атмосферный хоррор-экшен с уникальным геймплеем. Яркие визуальные эффекты и напряженная атмосфера создают ощущение реального ужаса. Однако сюжет разворачивается медленно, а повторяющиеся миссии могут наскучить. Управление требует времени для освоения, но после этого игра становится увлекательной. Рекомендую тем, кто любит психологические триллеры и готов к сложностям.
