New Super Mario Bros 2 vs Shooting Sky
New Super Mario Bros 2
New Super Mario Bros 2 provides you with another exciting Super Mario adventure to embark on to save the hapless Princess Peach from Bowser! This time around though, the Mushroom Kingdom has a lot more gold coins for Mario to collect - and he needs to collect as many as he can - in addition to simply completing a level. There are also special power-ups that can turn everything in Mario's path in coins. Aside from the usual 2-player multiplayer mode, the game now has a new Coin Rush mode where players will rush through 3 levels while collecting as many coins as they can and then challenge their friends to do the same. With the return of Raccoon Mario, Mario can even fly and access hidden places around the game.New Super Mario Bros 2 is an incredibly fun game - more so than the previous version, that's for sure. So, if you can afford it, you should definitely buy this game.
Shooting Sky
Shooting Sky is possibly the first of its kind - a completely-3D, space arcade shooter! The game doesn't really feature any storyline per se, but you'll get to pilot a rather cool spacecraft and shoot pretty lasers at things, be it space monsters, asteroids or anything that floats in your way, really. Naturally, you'll also be able to upgrade your spacecraft to enhance its monster-killing potential.Due to its 3D looks, it might be a bit harder to get used to at first, but once you get over all of that, you'll truly appreciate how different the game feels. Boss battles just feel a whole lot more intense and the bullet-storm you unleash feels just so satisfying. Not to mention, the game allows competitive play as well, so get ready to challenge your friends to beat your highest score.
Previously known as Astro Blitz Wings, Shooting Sky dares to innovate a classic genre and I'd say that its leap of faith paid off pretty well. The game is as fun as its trailer made it out to be, and it is able to give you a whole new perspective on the space arcade shooter genre. It doesn't get any better than that!
