    Swimsanity! becomes a highly recommended experience for shooter lovers looking for something more chibi. However, at the gameplay level, it requires a significant balance in its mechanics.

    While it may lack originality and fresh ideas, Swimsanity is still able to distinguish itself from other twin-stick shooters thanks to its unique underwater setting and multiplayer gameplay. With roughly eight modes to choose from, Swimsanity can be a blast to play with a group of friends. It’s just unfortunate that it never reaches its full potential due to bland visuals, unbalanced difficulty and lackluster single-player options. Nonetheless, it should still have some appeal to anyone who’s even remotely a fan of the genre.

    Swimsanity! offers a fun blast of online or local versus play. Its game modes aren’t terribly original, but they work well in the underwater setting. Unfortunately, the fun doesn’t carry over to the game’s adventure mode or the single-player options.

    A full-featured multiplayer effort, Swimsanity! excels in its frantic competitive gameplay, with a co-op experience that we found critically lacking in enjoyment. Skip the adventure mode and dive straight into Orb Rush with three friends for a good, fun time. The package holds together well despite some blandness to the visuals, and there's certainly plenty to do if it gets its (fish) hooks into you. Swimsanity! holds up well in a crowded market and we truly hope to see it succeed.

If offeres a wide variety in terms of game modes, characters you can play as, and playstyles. It provides multiplayer both on and offline. So thats pleasent when it comss to having fun with others. The versus mode Is a nice feature but i would have to say i had much more fun playing in the campaign. You are given various areas you can explore for each game, and each character has different skills and abilities to choose from. The fighting is continuous so you can farm points or just run through. The artwork isn’t overly amazing but i do have to say it was indeed fun. It was pleasantly smooth as far as the reaponse controls went. Though aome areas were far to dark to clearly see the proper paths causing you to die. Now the game does offer a level system that seems to be for unlocking items but doesnt serve to boost the characters. That was somewhat of a letdown, but overall it was hella fun. If i had a full group this game would have tons of shenanigans and what not. For what its worth i dont think its worth exploring and can offer alot of fun times. Definately a game to play with family or groups so pick it up for your Xbox One if your looking for this experience in your game library.… Full Review »
