Scurge: Hive Review

By Greg Damiano

Samus I amus.

A female bounty hunter takes a job on a mysterious planet, with only an energy-shooting suit of armor to fight off legions of monsters. Hooray, the DS got another Metroid game!

No way, this is Scurge: Hive, a three-quarter view isometric platformer. You play as Jenova Arma, a bounty hunter who uses weapons like her double jump, laser-whip and timed bombs to…
  • Smooth, solid action
  • Big boss fights
  • Good gimmicks
  • Way too derivative
  • Weak bonuses
  • Bland look and plot

So I have high standards for games... sue me! I like smart narratives, style tied to substance, lots of multiplayer and long walks on the beach; I'm FOR public cons like PAX, game devs in the schools, and more trust in game ratings. All I can say is, love yer games, thanks for reading!
