Small Arms, An awesome XBL Arcade title

Small Arms is a beat em’ up brawler from game developer Gastronaut Studios. With gameplay similar to that of Super Smash Bros, Small Arms offers 12 unique characters that each wield different weapons and have their own abilities.

There are 5 modes a player can choose from. Mission Mode, where you play through 10 matches, 2 being bonus rounds. Training Mode, where you all the no0bs can learn how to play *achievement for completing Training Mode*. Challenge Mode, sort of a survival mode, where you can test yourself to see how many kills you can rack up. A Shooting Range where players can test their shooting skills *reaching 10k is an achievement also*. And Battle Mode, where players can play the multiplayer aspect of the game local or via XBL.

I can definitely say that the Battle Mode of Small Arms is the best part of the entire game. Weather it be just a local game with your friends or online with XBL, it offers the most that this game has to offer and truly shows what this game was made for.

The only thing that I wish Gastronaut Studios would have done in Small Arms would have been to add more weapons and items. Because when I look at Small Arms and compare the item/weapons to that of SSBM it just doesn’t compare. Hopefully with the possibility of downloadable content, more stuff for this awesome title will be available. If you are a fan of Super Smash Bros. or are in need of a game that you and your friends can beat the hell out of each other, than Small Arms is for you.
