You must stay alive during 65 hectic stages spread over five chapters. The high score list shows what kind of player you are.

    Aficionados of retro arcade shooters might find something to love in Diatomic, but when a design is this simple and straightforward it only takes a few mistakes for it to lose any potential it might have had and end up being just a chore to try and play.

    Diatomic is a game suffering from an ill-placed desire to stand apart from established popular shooters on the Wii. Whilst being a bit different is certainly admirable, choosing a rubbish control system is not the best way to do it.
