May 29, 2015Quite simply, this is a third-person shooter that my girls can play. If we never have another violent, war-based shooter, I won't miss a thing. About time someone thought of something else, and not only that, did it way better that anyone could have expected. It's fun and compelling, it's as simple as that. Highly recommended.

May 29, 2015The game of the year!
i could go on an on about this game. but it would all boil down to this simple answer... the game is fun and i like it! that is all you need to know. that is all anyone needs to know! and if a person has similar tastes as you do... then you would do good to try the game atleast once! this will get a 10 from me. -
May 29, 2015First time writing a review. The reviews giving a zero clearly have not played the game. This is an amazingly fun game. Why people like to hate for no reason is confusing.

May 29, 2015I bought this game thinking I could play online with my friend but there was no way to send a game invite or join his game. Not that it would matter because the game does not even feature voice chat. Online games are short and shallow, it feels like baby's first fps. I do not recommend this game at all and am returning it to the store tomorrow.

May 29, 2015The game is a blast. One of the freshest things to happen to video games in years. And with free dlc coming, it's only going to get better. The game is worth owning a Wii U for, it's that good.

May 29, 2015I love this game not your typical shooter shoot the enemy and or run so you dont get shot no on Splatoon you have to shoot the floor the walls and the enemy and the music is just too good 10/10 best shooter ever so awesome!!
-
May 29, 2015So much fun! Can't wait until they add more content, but there's plenty to keep me busy for now. Voice chat definitely isn't needed in a game like this and the amiibo unlock a lot of content too. This game makes the best use of amiibo so far compared to other games they're used in. Can't wait to see what nintendo does with this franchise in the future!

May 29, 2015I absolutely adored it, the gameplay was enchanting, the weapons were great, the music was fun! I've managed to play lots of matches online and loved the experience.
Nintendo blew it out of the park for me, 10/10. -
May 29, 2015It is the next BIG franchise game from Nintendo, I really love it, but I would love more the game if it has more single mode stages and more to do as a single player. The lack of voice is horrible.
-
May 29, 2015Very addictive, original , colorful shooter. absolutely amazing.It shows that this game doesn't need voice chat to be an amazing game.
Multiplayer 4.9/5
Single Player 3.8/4
Amiibo functionality 0.9/1
Overall 9.6/10 - AMAZING -
May 29, 2015Nintendo has nailed the shooting genre. If you think shooting game won't be for kids to grandpa ever, you are wrong! Splatoon is surprisingly fun to every age. Besides, it's not about 'killing' your enemy. It's about painting the levels to your paint color. This is where only Nintendo could done it. Unique game strategy concept indeed.

May 29, 2015First game I have played in a long time that i just couldn't put down. Super fun. If i wanted all the features all the other Shooters have wouldn't it just become the same thing? This is new and has revitalized the shooter genre for me. Also, thank you Nintendo for leaving out voice communication. It kills my online gaming experience these days. Cant wait for the updates!

May 29, 2015This is the Mario Kart of the shooters, fresh and creative. A punch in the nuts to all FPS. This is what we were all waiting for Nintendo, something new! in every way.

May 29, 2015Simply a ton of fun. The game will have free updates, the single player is fun, the online is perfect, 1080p 60fps. One of the best new IPs in the marketing, Nintendo nail it again.

May 29, 2015I've had a blast so far playing Splatoon.
I think this is the first shooter in ages to get me so excited.
I'm at working thinking about inking the place.
While I sleep I'm a SQUID KID
THIS GAME IS ADDICTIVE
BEST THINGS SINCE DOTA 2, WITCHER and CS 1.6 -
May 29, 2015Great idea and execution. I believe that small missing features will be added in August major update.
The only real problem is the lack of voice chat. I hope that Nintendo go back on that decision and this feature is present in the update. -

May 29, 2015Amazing game. A fresh wind for shooters, 1 of a kind. Easy to get into but it takes real skill to master. Lots of tacktics and customization options, unique weapon. Single player is somewhat short but of a high quality. Multiplayer will keep you occupied for a long time, especially considering the game will get (free) additional content on a regular basis.
Music and graphics are good as well. -

May 29, 2015Fun, strategy, and cooperation. Ink is a very good idea an change lot of thing in Multi Online War. Very good game and I hope the next dlc add lot of good thing
-
May 29, 2015The game it's amazing I think that it's true when nintendo says that this game is the MarioKart of the Shooters.
Some people is cheating about the lack of content but the game is amazing and the updates will solve this. -

May 29, 2015Great game, fun, with dlc coming right around the corner and it's addictive!! A reason to buy a Wii U. No voice chat needed, when you need help, you just press up on the d-pad and call out for help or down to cheer on a teammate, which is pretty much all you need in this game.
-
May 29, 2015The lack of voice chat killed the experience for me. This is a game that depends a lot in comunication, you need strategy and coordination to win, but nintendo did it again and excluded one of the most useful tools in a game like this. Good job.

May 29, 2015Man, that´s fun. The level design is great, the characters has a lot of charisma, the soundtrack is awesome. Typical Nintendo approach, a simple idea that makes a huge difference. Highly recommended for anyone, not only the for Wii U´s owners.

May 29, 2015Increíble, es un juego artísticamente precioso, con una jugabilidad casi perfecta. Splatoon es de los mejores shooters online competitivos hasta la fecha, y sobre todo divertido, muy divertido.
-
May 29, 2015Wow. This game surpassed all my expectations. Splatoon needs to stand by your copy of Smash as the two most fun games on the system. Truly a success and an experience worth your money. PD: More maps are coming soon!

Nov 10, 2015There’s nothing else quite like it, nor the cathartic dopamine jolt to be had when you squid-skim up a paint-smeared quarter pipe, an Inkzooka at the ready, leap over the edge, take aim with your weapon, and reduce a startled opponent to goo.
-
Oct 23, 2015We waited a bit before giving a vote to Splatoon, but after three months, the game is full of new weapons, has some awesome new modes, and it's still really, really fun. It's a WiiU killer app, one of those games that are not only extremely original, but so well made they utterly deserve a big and supporting community. If you have a WiiU and want an atypical shooter, this is the game for you.

CD-ActionSep 18, 2015Please don’t just look at the score and “meh” Splatoon, because this online shooter is the best thing that happened to Wii U in a long time. It just needs some major updates, because on arrival it’s just 75% of The Game of the Year. [09/2015, p.46]
