    Battle under the sea

    Undertow really came out from underneath a crowd of popular XBox live arcade games. With old school hits like pac-man and street fighter, its difficult to see original games get much exposure. If you looking for an inexpensive fun game, look no further. Undertow takes you into an ocean world that has 3 races and 4 simliar classes for each one. The story is quite lenghty and has full 3-d cutscenes and may actually entice someone with a story driven nature. Of course as with many arcade titles its not the story we are looking for, its the action. The goal of undertow is to take your team and control the majority of bases to keep your team respawning and draining the reinforcements of the other. Think of battlefield 1942 gameplay except underwater. The 4 class types are divided up in such a way that the more fire power you havre the bigger and slower you are, which is a good balance for the game. Depths charges are at your disposal along with your primary weapon which is controlled in a dualstick fashion. Online play is where the action is as it is fully developed and fun. Co-op is also an option which is much better than solo play.

      For free not bad, for $10 a travesty 0

       Undertow is made by Chair, who made the decent enough Xbox title Advent Rising. This game is at the very least a departure from that and most games out there today. In undertow you'll play as a human diver, a nemo (A what?!), and a female atlantian general. This is done through "Episodes", which is broken up into the games 15 levels, 5 for each character. I expected each character would get there own campaign and really the game would have worked a lot better this way.The way the story mode unf...
